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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    An AE was as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An SAE was an AE that met at least 1 of the following criteria: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization for the AE, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug), important medical event or reaction. The intensity of an AE was graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Adverse Event Severity Grading Table. A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the ‘Reported Adverse Events’ Section.

    Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale Score at Weeks 21, 41, and 153
    End point description
    The FACIT-Fatigue scale is a collection of quality of life questionnaires pertaining to the management of fatigue symptoms due to a chronic illness. The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function over the preceding 7 days. Participants score each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Total scores range from 0 to 52, with higher score indicating better quality of life. Full analysis set included all enrolled and treated participants. Here, 'Overall number of participants analyzed' = participants with both baseline and the postbaseline assessments for FACIT-Fatigue scale score. 'n' = participants evaluable at specified timepoint.

    Change From Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 Scale (EORTC-QLQ-C30): Global Health Status/Qol Score at Weeks 21, 41, and 153
    End point description
    EORTC-QLQ-C30 is comprised of 30 questions. First 28 questions used 4-point scale (1=not at all,2=a little,3=quite a bit,4=very much) for evaluating 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, pain) & other single items. For each item, high score = high level of symptomatology/problem. Last 2 questions represented participant's assessment of overall health (global health status) and quality of life, coded on 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent). Answers were converted into grading scale, with total score between 0 and 100. A high score represented a favourable outcome with a best quality of life for participant. Full analysis set included all enrolled and treated participants. Here, 'Overall number of participants analyzed' = participants with both baseline and the postbaseline assessments for EORTC-QLQ-C30 (Global Health Status/Qol) score.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    31 May 2017
    • Enrollment was restricted to participants who completed Study ACH471-100 and demonstrated clinical benefit from danicopan. • Study population was restricted to a maximum of 12 participants (from 30 participants). • Danicopan trough concentration measurement for pharmacokinetics (PK) and ECG for safety assessments were added. • Starting dose was increased to 150 mg TID and dose escalations up to 200 mg TID were permitted. A blood draw for LDH and liver function tests at 72 to 84 hours and the participants were required to have a clinic visit 2 weeks after dose escalation for safety evaluation and collection of samples for efficacy, pharmacodynamics (PD), and PK evaluation. • 75 mg danicopan tablet was added to the list of supplied formulations. • Dosing taper schedule corresponding to the newly updated permitted doses was added. • Added a clarification that samples used for complement analyses will be stored from the beginning of this clinical study to 1 year after the clinical study report is published. • Instructions for reporting SAEs or pregnancies were updated. • Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) assessments (FACIT Fatigue and EORTC QLQ C30) were added.
    22 Dec 2017
    • Dose escalations of up to 250 mg TID in increments of 25 mg permitted. • Dosing taper schedule corresponding to the newly updated permitted doses was added. • Details of highly effective contraception requirements for both female and male participants including hormonal contraception, intrauterine device (IUD)/intrauterie system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, abstinence, sterility requirements, vasectomy, condom use with female partner contraception (hormonal, IUD/IUS, bilateral tubal occlusion) were either added or updated. • Requirement for urine pregnancy tests for females throughout the study as per the Schedule of Assessments, was added. • Revised text to mention that participants who terminate early may be interviewed for PRO assessments based on local regulations or ethics committee (EC) requirements. • Instructions for reporting SAEs were updated.
    13 Mar 2018
    • Inclusion criterion was updated for acceptable contraception (female) from date of informed consent to dosing Day 1 and highly effective contraception (male and female) from dosing Day 1 to 30 days (for females) and 90 days (for males) after the last dose of study intervention. • Guidance on booster vaccinations against bacterial infections as per national and/or local guidelines or in their absence as per Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) guidelines was added. • Female participants of childbearing potential were also required to have a negative serum pregnancy test during Screening and negative urine pregnancy test on Day 1. • Instructions for participants discontinuing during the extension phase to have danicopan tapered and have follow-up visits were added.
    04 Jun 2021
    • Instructions for dose tapering were updated and 75 mg dose was removed from the dose tapering schedule as 75 mg tablets used in the study were no longer manufactured. • PRO interviews were discontinued effective 30 Apr 2019. • PK/PD samples were no longer required at the long-term extension clinic visits, taper visits, or follow-up visits. • Instructions for reporting SAEs or pregnancies were updated due to a transition in the safety reporting process. • To ensure patient safety and treatment continuity during the COVID-19 outbreak, physical visits were allowed to become telephone or videoconference visits, and safety laboratory tests were allowed using home healthcare laboratory sampling, local laboratories, or other appropriate clinical facilities. • Language regarding COVID 19 risk assessment was added as per Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) requirements. • Clarification regarding study requirements for participants from Study ACH471-103 to enroll into Study ACH228-110 and option to enter in another appropriate Alexion clinical study (if available), were added.
