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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    The primary objective of the trial was to evaluate the treatment effect of bimagrumab on total body fat mass.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    		 Change from baseline in total body fat mass by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at week 48
    End point description
    Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to assess changes in body composition, including total fat and lean body mass (FM and LBM) and appendicular skeletal fat and muscle mass (aFM and aLBM). DXA instruments had a source that generated x-rays split into two energies which measured bone mineral mass and soft tissue from which fat and fat-free mass (or lean body mass) were estimated.

    		 Change from baseline in HbA1c at week 24 and 48
    End point description
    HbA1c reflects average glucose concentrations over the past 3 months and therefore provides a useful index of the glycemic control of bimagrumab over that time period. It is a standard endpoint used to assess the glycemic efficacy of any anti-diabetic medication. HbA1c is a key glycemic parameter which correlates with reduction of risk of diabetic complications.

    		 Change from baseline in lean body mass (LBM) measured by DXA
    End point description
    Lean body mass (LBM) is a part of body composition defined as the difference between total body weight and body fat weight. This means that it counts the mass of all organs except body fat, including bones, muscles, blood, skin, and everything else. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to assess changes in body composition, including total fat and lean body mass (FM and LBM) and appendicular skeletal fat and muscle mass (aFM and aLBM). DXA instruments had a source that generated x-rays split into two energies which measured bone mineral mass and soft tissue from which fat and fat-free mass (or lean body mass) were estimated.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Mar 2017
    Amendment 01: The purposes of this amendment were to: 1) align the study design with contemporary techniques for assessing dietary intake, physical activity, and insulin resistance; 2) integrate new safety data from recently completed bimagrumab studies; and 3) clarify the dietary intervention and overall assessment components of the study. At the time of this protocol amendment, no subjects were enrolled in the clinical study.
    26 Oct 2017
    Amendment 02: The primary purpose of this amendment was to present a new safety observation (transient elevations in lipase and amylase) in the bimagrumab development program and the resultant modifications to this protocol, to clarify language about laboratory evaluations required during the screening period, and to update eligibility criteria.
    23 Nov 2017
    Amendment 03: The primary purpose of this amendment was to include time points for the additional pancreatic enzyme safety monitoring that were inadvertently omitted from protocol amendment 02 and to clarify language related to treatment of adverse events and laboratory values.
    12 Mar 2018
    Amendment 04: The primary purpose of this amendment was to update the language related to the planned interim analyses and total sample size. More specifically:  Interim Analysis #1 was removed as it was no longer needed for decision making.  The assumed dropout rate was increased to 30% to reflect actual rate observed in the study, which increased the sample size to approximately 68 recruited. Additionally, this study began review by the program-level external Data Monitoring Committee (DMC).
    17 Jan 2019
    Amendment 05: The primary purpose of this amendment was to add an additional MRI at week 48 for subjects who had provided consent to this optional scan. Based on the results from the IA conducted after more than 50% of subjects had completed 24 weeks of treatment, this additional MRI scan was added to explore the effect of bimagrumab on MRI efficacy endpoints after 12 monthly doses.
