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   44365   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7389   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
    To determine whether daily administration of oral insulin from age 4 months - 7 months until age 3.00 years to children with elevated genetic risk for type 1 diabetes reduces the cumulative incidence of beta-cell autoantibodies and diabetes in childhood.
    Protection of trial subjects
    As part of the safety assessment , blood glucose was monitored before (-10 minutes) and at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after study drug intake at baseline, and at the visits 2, 4 and 8 months. Adverse events were recorded and assessed until 60 days after end of treatment. Local anesthetics (EMLA)was used to reduce pain during blood draws.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Potential study subjects were identified through the GPPAD-02 study testing for type 1 diabetes risk in infancy. In the GPPAD-02 study, testing for genetic risk of T1D was offered either at delivery (cord blood), together with the regular newborn screening, or at a pediatric baby-visit with collection of blood using GPPAD-02 filter paper cards.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Infants were tested for genetic risk of T1D based on risk scores derived from SNPs that defined HLA DR3, HLA DR4, and HLA DQ8 alleles, as well as SNPs from HLA class I and non-HLA T1D susceptibility genes, and from HLA class II protective alleles

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse events were documented throughout the treatment period and for an additional 60 days following the last administration of the investigational medicinal product
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    AEs were reported via eCRF. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were reviewed and assessed by an external safety manager and reported to authorities where appropriate. The evaluation of safety and tolerability included all children who received at least one dose of the investigational product.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Dec 2018
    Update IMPD and optimized manufacturing process
    11 Feb 2022
    Protocol Version 3.0 to Version 4.0 The amendment relates to the study duration (accrual was shorter than projected), a recalculation of power, and the interim analysis. In the original POINT protocol, study duration was estimated to last 7 years (including 3.5 years accrual, and 3.5 years follow-up, LPLV projected January 2025), and power was calculated accordingly. However enrollment was shorter and thus the study duration would be ~6.5 years (including 3.17 years accrual, and 3.25 years follow-up, LPLV June 2024). The statistician performed a new power calculation and confirmed that based on the true number of events and the current drop out rate, we still would have over 80% power despite a reduction of a median of 5 months observation time if we also drop the interim analysis

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats
