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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 main objectives of the trial were to: • Cohort 1 - Assess the efficacy of AVXS-101 by demonstrating functional independent sitting for at least 30 seconds as defined by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID) gross motor (GM) subtest item number 26 at any visit up to 18 months of age. • Cohort 2 - Assess the efficacy of AVXS-101 based on the proportion of participants achieving the ability to stand without support for at least 3 seconds as defined by BSID GM subtest item number 40 at any visit up to 24 months of age.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted according to International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 A total of 44 participants were screened, of which 14 were screen failures and 30 were enrolled and received study drug. A total of 30 participants took part in the trial at 16 sites in the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, Australia and Japan between April 2018 and June 2021.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 One participant was initially diagnosed as having 3 copies of survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2) and was enrolled into Cohort 2, but a re-confirmation test reported post-dose showed 4 copies of SMN2. This participant was excluded from all analysis populations and data is not reported due to privacy concerns.

    Arm description
    		 Participants with bi-allelic deletions of survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) and 2 copies of SMN2 received a single dose of AVXS-101 administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion over 60 minutes on Day 1 of the overall study. Participants also received daily doses of prophylactic oral prednisolone starting at a dose of 1-2 mg/kg/day from 1 day prior to AVXS-101 infusion until at least 30 days post-infusion at which point the prednisolone dose could be tapered downwards. At week 9, prednisolone could be discontinued.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    27 Sep 2018
    Global version 2.0 - Amendment 1 Updated to include recent good laboratory practice toxicology data, to provide additional cardiac monitoring for participant safety, to allow laboratory samples to be processed locally in certain instances, and added Japan participant urine, saliva and stool collections for viral shedding analysis. Cohort 3 for participants with 4 copies of SMN2 removed leading to changes in objectives, investigational plan, selection criteria, assessments of efficacy and safety, and statistical analysis. Amendment 1 was not submitted to Institutional Review Board /Independent Ethics Committee or regulatory agencies because Amendment 2 was already planned and was submitted as soon as Global Version 1.0 was approved (in countries where it had been submitted).
    19 Oct 2018
    Global Version 3.0 - Amendment 2 Included the changes outlined above for Amendment 1. In addition, updated to provide a correction to the timing of genetic reconfirmation testing from Month 3 to screening and revisions for consistency across AVXS-101 protocols. Additional cardiac monitoring (24-hour Holter monitoring, electrocardiogram [ECG], and echocardiogram [ECHO]) were added to assure participant safety.
    30 May 2019
    Global Version 4.0 - Amendment 3 Updated to include a new regimen for prophylactic prednisolone and additional visits for liver function test monitoring according to recommendations made by Sponsor following acute liver failure case reported in the United States Managed Access Program. Updates related to additional toxicology biodistribution studies, release of AVXS-101-CL-101 clinical study report. Safety reporting and analysis, and removal of Japan specific assessments which were included in a separate, Japan-specific protocol.
    26 Nov 2019
    Global Version 5.0 - Amendment 4 Updates related to non-clinical recent dorsal root ganglia findings in cynomolgus monkeys to further clarify that detailed age appropriate sensory testing is performed during the neurological component of the physical exam. Adverse events of special interests in the areas of hepatotoxicity, thrombocytopenia, cardiac adverse events, and sensory abnormalities suggestive of ganglionitis were included in this protocol amendment.
    28 Jul 2020
    Global Version 6.0 - Amendment 5 Updates related to potential coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) impact on trial conduct, consistency for definitions of the primary endpoints and exploratory endpoints, central review of videos for efficacy parameters, Safety Reporting timelines and addition Hy's Law Criteria due to request by Belgian Regulatory Authority.
