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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The trial recruited subjects previously treated with GS010 and Sham during 2 Phase III studies—RESCUE and REVERSE. The study followed subjects for an additional 3 years, for a total of 5 years post-injection. The study included 5 visits at 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 years after the investigational medicinal product (IMP) injection.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Sep 2018
    Purposes and Rationale for Amendment 1. Based on REVERSE (Study GS-LHON-CLIN-03B) available efficacy data, contrast sensitivity measured with the Pelli-Robson chart constitutes additional and complementary key information to better assess patients’ benefit from GS010. Therefore, contrast sensitivity assessments have been added every year through the GS-LHON-CLIN-06 long-term follow up study. 2. Another purpose of the amendment is to add comparisons between all GS010-treated eyes and all sham-treated eyes at years 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 for the secondary endpoints “visual improvement as measured by LogMAR” and “change of ganglion cell layer thickness/volume and topographical map and other parameters measured by SD-OCT.” The addition of these comparisons will make the efficacy analysis more complete and provide additional insight into the long-term efficacy of GS010.
