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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of OSU6162 with respect to sequela after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage with special emphasis on fatigue. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) after 12 weeks of treatment with (-)-OSU6162 or placebo, with data collection at weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, and 20 (20=8 weeks after treatment). The secondary endpoints include change from baseline in total score on the following questionnaires: - Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) - Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) - Mental Fatigue Scale (MFS) - Short Form 36 (SF-36) at week 4, 12, and 20 (i.e. at 8 weeks after treatment) Change in neuropsychological test performance from baseline to week 12 of treatment
    Protection of trial subjects
    Vital signs were checked at every visit along with ECG at every visit in order to detect any changes in QTc interval. Monthly pregnancy test in women of childbearing potential. Check of vital signs, physical and neurological examinations at every visit. Safety blood tests, and urine samples at week 8 and 12 Study participants were handed out a telephone number that was answered 24/7/365 and they were encouraged to make contact for any questions in relation to the study and to report any new symptoms, signs of discomfort, or when they needed to start a new concomitant medication

    None
    Evidence for comparator
    Fatigue represents a major problem in good outcome survivors of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The character of this fatigue is mostly a mental fatigue. The underlying cause of central fatigue is not well understood, but imbalance of serotonin and foremost dopamine have been suggested (dopamine imbalance theory). Dopamine is a regulator of motivation and effortful behaviour and imbalance in the dopaminergic pathways has been linked to fatigue and cognitive dysfunction. The serotonergic system is important for neuroplasticity, emotional responses and sleep. (-)-OSU6162 is a monoaminergic stabilizer affecting both neurotransmitter systems. Clinical trials investigating the effect of (-)-OSU6162 on fatigue and other sequels after stroke and traumatic brain injury have shown promising results and these two disease are closely related to the patient cohort investigated in this study. (-)-OSU6162 also mitigated fatigue and improved mood and health-related quality of life in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome or multiple sclerosis. Hithertho no effective treatment of post aneurysmal hemorrhage fatigue is known.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    All patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) between January 2012 and March 2018 were identified and phoned for an interview that included assessment of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Those with mean FSS score ≥ 4 and without exclusion criteria were invited to a screening visit.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    There were 749 eligible patients with aSAH. Of these, 216 were dead and 103 did not meet the inclusion criteria. 430 had a telephone interview. Of these 156 did not meet the inclusion criteria, 30 could not be traced, 62 had medical exclusion criteria and 82 did not want to participate.

(-)-OSU6162 is a monoaminergic stabilizer affecting the dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmitter systems by acting antagonistic at the D2 dopamine receptor and partially agonistic on the serotonergic 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A (5-HT2A)

    Dosage and administration details
    The initial dosage was 30mg/day (15mg x 2). After at least 1 week of treatment, those with less than 1.5 points of improvement on the mean FSS or without other convincing positive effects had their dose increased to 60mg/day (30mg x 2). Given some positive effect (but not full response) at week 1, the dosage increase could be postponed to week 4 or 8. If not tolerated, 60mg/day was reduced immediately to 30mg/day. The tablets were swallowed whole with a glass of water before breakfast and before lunch (approximately at 08:00 and 13:00 hours).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Oct 2017
    The protocol specified that the IMP dosage could be increased after 1 week of treatment, but did not say explicitly that the dosage could be increased at a later point of time. We asked for the possibility to pospone the increase of dosage of (-)-OSU6162/placebo beyond week 1 if an increase in dosage was deemed necessary by the investigator. The amendment was approved 20.10.2017.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    none
