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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    Protection of trial subjects
    The Protocol and any amendments and the Informed Consent Form (ICF) were reviewed and approved by the Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) before the study was initiated. Any amendments to the Protocol or changes to the ICF required IEC approval before implementation of changes made to the study design, except for changes necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard to study participants. This study was conducted in accordance with the Protocol and consensus ethical principles originating in or derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The studies were conducted at 18 centers across 3 countries, between 06 AUG 2018 (FPFV) and 13 OCT 2020 (LPLV).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 130 patients were screened, 109 (83.8%) of which met the eligibility criteria. All screening failures did not meet the eligibility criteria. One patient who met the eligibility criteria was not randomized, and 2 patients who did not meet the eligibility criteria were randomized in error. Therefore, 110 patients were randomized.

    Statistical analysis description
    The slope of stair climb power changes from baseline to week 12 of treatment with BST204 or placebo will be compared separately for each cancer group. A Mixed-effects Model Repeat Measurement (MMRM) model with baseline value as a covariate and treatment as fixed effect will be applied. For comparison of the treatments, two-sided 95% confidence intervals for the mean differences in slope and corresponding time point estimators adjusted for baseline will be computed.
