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   43861   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    • To determine the effect of lucerastat on neuropathic pain in subjects with Fabry disease (FD).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and any material provided to the subject (such as a subject information sheet or description of the study used to obtain informed consent) were reviewed and approved by the appropriate Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) before the study was started. Sponsor personnel and the investigators ensured that the study was conducted in full compliance with ICH-GCP guidelines, the principles of the “Declaration of Helsinki”, and with the laws and regulations of the countries in which the study was conducted. Both the sponsor and the investigator had the right to terminate the study at any time, and in such a case, were responsible for protecting the subjects’ interests. The investigator was responsible for maintaining the subjects’ identities in strictest confidence. Prior to any study procedure and after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, objectives, and potential hazards of the study, written informed consent was obtained from each participating subject. It was made clear to each subject that he or she was completely free to refuse to enter the study, or to withdraw from it at any time for any reason.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Apr 2018
    1. The definition of neuropathic pain was split to improve readability and subject comprehension. The descriptor “numbness” was removed from the description as it was considered to be a distinct concept that does not necessarily describe neuropathic pain severity. The concept of intermittence was also added to the definition of neuropathic pain. 2. A new Patient Global Impression of Severity scale was added to assess the overall severity of neuropathic pain. 3. It was clarified that current guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of FD were to be followed. 4. A more explicit definition of the global end of the study was included. 5. The process of eDiary data availability, transfer, encoding, and the measures taken to maintain privacy of the subject were clarified. 6. Exclusion criteria were adjusted to emphasize that any subject at high risk of developing clinical signs of organ involvement within the time period of the study, as per investigator judgment would be excluded from the study.

    The results of a clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) study (ID-069-105) with the organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) inhibitor cimetidine led to the conclusion that lucerastat can be administered concomitantly with OCT2 inhibitors without need for dose adaptation. Therefore, respective protocol restrictions at study entry (exclusion criterion #15) and during the study (forbidden concomitant therapy) related to the use of OCT2 inhibitors have been removed.

    The main reason for the amendment was to change the methodology used to analyze the primary endpoint from a dichotomous responder analysis, based on a reduction of at least 30% from baseline to Month 6 in modified BPI-SF3 score, to an analysis of the change from baseline to Month 6 in modified BPI-SF3 score. Analyzing the primary endpoint as a continuous variable avoided a loss in information caused by the dichotomization of the endpoint variable. It required fewer subjects to maintain the statistical power to detect a difference between lucerastat and placebo. With the proposed continuous analysis, 99 subjects are required to achieve a power of 87.2%, which is comparable to the power in the range of 81.984.1% for the current responder analysis based on 108 subjects. The dichotomous responder analysis was documented to support and establish clinical relevance. This change was agreed with the FDA in order to help overcome challenges in recruitment of subjects with a rare disease in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic and complete the study. The change was restricted to the primary statistical analysis and did not alter the study population or the study's primary objective.

    The main purpose of the amendment was to change the statistical method used to analyze the secondary endpoint "Change from baseline to Month 6 in the number of days with at least 1 stool of a BSS consistency Type 6 or 7", from a parametric analysis (assuming normality) to a non-parametric analysis. This change in analysis was warranted because the blinded baseline data review suggested that the endpoint was not normally distributed. The necessity to make a change to this analysis method was discussed with the FDA; the change is restricted to the statistical analysis of the last secondary endpoint in the testing strategy and does not alter the study population and the primary and secondary objectives of the study.
