Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the efficacy of a single LNA043 i.a. injection in regenerating hyaline cartilage tissue at the donor sites of patients undergoing autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) To assess safety and tolerability of a single LNA043 i.a. injection in patients undergoing ACI

    		 Change from baseline to Week 4 in GAG content
    End point description
    Sodium MRI-based measurements of change from baseline in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content were assessed from both defective sites and a nearby healthy cartilage region (as a reference tissue). Specifically, the ratio of normalized sodium signal in the surgically created defect (SCD or donor site) to healthy non-weight bearing region (HNWB), i.e. SCD/HNWB and the defect to be treated (DTBT or main lesion) to healthy weight bearing region (HWB), i.e. DTBT/HWB was of major interest

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    05 May 2017
    The original protocol was amended to shift the baseline MRI from the screening epoch between days -14 and -1 to day 3, in the post-treatment follow-up epoch.
    11 Dec 2017
    To update specific protocol sections according the updated Investigator Brochure. To clarify the use of the 7 Tesla (7T) MRI as an exploratory medical device. To clarify about the site where the 7 Tesla MRI was performed, now defined specifically as the investigational site for medical device, and to describe how to report possible adverse device effects or serious adverse device effects associated with the 7 T MRI, if any; To increase the number of days between randomization and treatment to give more time to the sites to organize the activities for subject treatment: from 1 day to 7 days before treatment; To delete the PK sample collection 15 min after drug administration to simplify study procedures; To enlarge the interval within which performing the second surgery, from 3 to 5 days to simplify study procedures; To enlarge the interval within which performing the MRI before the surgery at Week 4, from 2 to 3 days to simplify study procedures.
    24 May 2018
    To add a second cohort to treat subjects with a single dose of 40 mg LNA043 or matching placebo, without increasing the number of total subjects to be enrolled and without stopping enrolment.
