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   43858   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 this study was to evaluate whether selonsertib (SEL; GS-4997) can cause fibrosis regression and reduce progression to cirrhosis and associated complications in adults with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and bridging (F3) fibrosis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and consent/assent forms were submitted by each investigator to a duly constituted Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review and approval before study initiation. All revisions to the consent/assent forms (if applicable) after initial IEC/IRB approval were submitted by the investigator to the IEC/IRB for review and approval before implementation in accordance with regulatory requirements. This study was conducted in accordance with recognized international scientific and ethical standards, including but not limited to the International Conference on Harmonization guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) and the original principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 1-Stage Improvement in Fibrosis According to the Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Clinical Research Network (CRN) Classification Without Worsening of NASH at Week 48
    End point description
    Fibrosis improvement was defined as ≥ 1-stage decrease from baseline in fibrosis according to the NASH CRN classification. NASH CRN fibrosis stages range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating greater fibrosis (0=None, 4=Cirrhosis). Worsening of NASH was defined as ≥ 1 point increase from baseline in hepatocellular ballooning or lobular inflammation according to the Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Activity Score (NAS) criteria. As defined by NAS, hepatocellular ballooning ranges from 0-2 and lobular inflammation ranges from 0-3, with higher scores indicating more severe hepatocellular ballooning or lobular inflammation. The Full Analysis Set included all participants who were randomized into the study and received at least 1 dose of study drug.

    Percentage of Participants Who Had a ≥ 1-Stage Improvement in Fibrosis at Week 240
    End point description
    Fibrosis improvement was defined as ≥ 1-stage decrease from baseline in fibrosis according to the NASH CRN classification. NASH CRN fibrosis stages range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating greater fibrosis (0=None, 4=Cirrhosis).

    Percentage of Participants Who Had NASH Resolution Without Worsening of Fibrosis at Week 48
    End point description
    NASH resolution was defined as lobular inflammation of 0 or 1 from ≥ 1 at baseline and hepatocellular ballooning of 1 from a value ≥ 1 at baseline; both criteria were necessary conditions. Evaluable participants had baseline lobular inflammation and hepatocellular ballooning ≥ 1. Worsening of Fibrosis was defined by an increase in Fibrosis stage from 3 to 4 as defined by NASH CRN.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 May 2017
    1. Clarified that events of hepatic decompensation included portal hypertension-related bleeding that required endoscopy, hospitalization and would be adjudicated by the Hepatic Events/Drug-Induced Liver Injury Adjudication Committee. 2. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was removed as a component of primary clinical efficacy endpoint. 3. The outcome of “death” was changed to “all-cause mortality” to clarify that all deaths would be included in EFS analysis. 4. References to a HepQuant substudy were removed. Only subjects enrolled at participating US sites could participate. 5. Laboratory parameters and assessments at screening were clarified; INR ≤ 1.4 and platelet count ≥100,000/μL were added as inclusion criteria. 6. Stool frequency assessment was added to the study procedures at all visits, beginning with baseline/Day 1. 7. EFS assessed as time to the first clinical event, including HCC, as well as progression to cirrhosis, liver decompensation events, liver transplantation, and all-cause mortality, was added as an exploratory efficacy endpoint. 8. Clarified that a sensitivity analysis of EFS that included hepatic clinical events and liver-related death would be performed. 9. Clarified that all clinical events except all-cause mortality and liver transplantation required confirmation by the Hepatic Events Adjudication Committee. 10. A stratified log-rank test was added to the exploratory endpoint analysis to compare between-group differences (SEL 18 mg, SEL 6 mg, Placebo) in time to the first clinical events, including HCC. 11. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculation was included at all visits. 12. Specified that single PK sampling would be performed who entered OL phase and had severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh [CP] Class C) and renal impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min). 13. Clarified that subjects in OL phase who completed study treatment should complete the Week 240/EOT visit. 14. A telephone follow-up visit to occur 12 weeks after Week 240 visit.
    31 May 2018
    1. Added abdominal ultrasound to be performed for HCC surveillance in the OL phase. 2. An early termination (ET) visit that was to be completed within 30 days after the last dose of study drug and the list of assessments to be performed at the visit was clarified for subjects who prematurely discontinued the study. 3. Clarified that hepatic clinical events would be adjudicated and deaths would be reviewed by the Hepatic Events/DILI Adjudication Committee during the randomized phase of the study; DILI events and cardiovascular events, including deaths, were to be adjudicated in the OL phase of the study by the hepatic events/DILI and cardiovascular Adjudication Committees, as appropriate. 4. Clinical trial information was updated, based on updates to the SEL Investigator’s Brochure, including the numbers of SEL studies conducted and subjects dosed, updated safety data, final study data, and completion of studies.
