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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7294   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 was to assess the effects of four 250 mg 3G10 once monthly intravenous injections on monocyte function ex vivo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki that are consistent with International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH)/Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 40 Male and female subjects, age above 50 years, with elevated Lp(a) (above 50 mg/dL) were planned for inclusion. Potential study subjects were identified by advertising in local media and by review of pre-existing databases at the study sites. The study was conducted in two countries–the Netherlands and Sweden.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Assessments included: informed consent; demographics, medications, and med./surg. history; eligibility; weight; height; physical exam.; vital signs (blood press. & body temp); ECG (incl. heart rate); pregnancy; FSH & oestradiol; HIV, Hepatitis B, C; Lp(a); Haematology, clin. chemistry, coagulation complement; urine analysis; and concomitant meds

    Blinding implementation details
    This was a double-blinded study, the treatment was blinded to the subject, the investigators and the personnel administering IMP. The code envelopes were to be kept in a secure place with limited access. In case of emergency or other situation that it was crucial for the Investigator to know which treatment the subject had received, the code envelope might be opened. If the code was broken, this was to be documented on the treatment code envelope and in the subject’s hospital records.

    End point description
    Blood sampling for assessment of the primary endpoint, TEM in monocytes isolated from treated subjects, was performed pre-dose at Visit 4 (1st dose) and at follow-up (Visit 11). The ex vivo measurement of monocyte function was performed using the TEM assay. The total number of monocytes and the number of transmigrated monocytes were counted using images obtained with a confocal laser microscope and results were presented as % of migrated monocytes.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 Sep 2017
    Clarification of exclusion criterion 2 to ensure exclusion of subjects having illnesses between the screening visit and the randomization visit. Clarification of exclusion criterion 8. A majority of patients with Lp(a) >50 mg/dL, which is required to be included in the study, have ongoing treatment with statins or other lipid lowering medications. New data indicates that the added population is equally treatment sensitive as statin/PCSK9 naïve patients with Lp(a) >50 mg/dL. Excluding these patients will also greatly prolong the inclusion time and exceptions are therefore needed. Correction of study schedule.

    23 Nov 2017
    On 2017-11-23, a subject reported a suspected anaphylactic reaction. The event was reported as a SUSAR as the subject had been administered with active IMP 3G10 (code broken by investigator). The subject was withdrawn and a voluntary temporary halt in dosing took place between 2017-11-23 and 2017-11- 27. After recommendation from the iSRC, including principal investigators, and subsequent decision from the Sponsor, as well as phone and mail contacts with the assigned clinical assessor at the Swedish CA, further exposure in the study was continued on 2017-11-28 for all remaining enrolled subjects. All enrolled and screened subjects received information about the reaction before deciding to continue. One subject in screening decided to withdraw consent. After the restart of the study, 4 additional subjects were randomised to treatment. All doses were given without any reported deviations during administration.

    On 2018-01-10, another subject reported a suspected anaphylactic reaction. This event was also reported as SUSAR as the subject had been administered active IMP 3G10 (code broken by investigator). After this, the Sponsor decided, after consulting the iSRC, to put the study on temporary halt (notification submitted in the Netherlands 2018-01-17 and in Sweden 2018-01-23). This was to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the participants and no participants were exposed to the study drug after 2018-01- 10. An cause investigation was initiated and a decision was taken by the iSRC to handle all subjects as early withdrawals e.g. they were invited to attend visits 11 and 12 (End of Trial safety visit). The last study visit (Visit 12) was attended on 2018-03-19. On 2018-07-03, the study was formally terminated and the declaration of the end of trial form was submitted to the CA in Sweden and on 2018-07-04 to the CA in the Netherlands. A total of 10 subjects were randomised and received treatment with 3G10/placebo.
