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
    Adult subjects diagnosed with acromegaly took part in the study at 24 investigative sites in Lithuania, Hungary, the United States of America, Serbia, Russia, Poland, and Romania from 13 September 2018 to 02 April 2021.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects were randomized into 4 cohorts [A and B in 2:1 ratio; C and D in 5:1 ratio] to receive IONIS GHR-LRx or placebo. Due to enrollment difficulties associated with (COVID-19) pandemic, treatment groups IONIS GHR-LRx, 120 mg and IONIS GHR-LRx, 160 mg did not complete enrollment resulting in cohort sizes smaller than planned.

    Percent Change in Serum Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) From Baseline to 28 Days After Last Dose
    End point description
    IGF-1 is a hormone that manages effects of growth hormone (GH) in the body. Percent(%)change from Baseline in IGF-1 levels was measured at Day 141. Baseline was defined as last non-missing value prior to first administration of Study Drug (ISIS 766720 or placebo). Negative % change from Baseline indicated improvement. To perform a meaningful assessment of pharmacodynamic (PD) activity of ISIS 766720, lower dose groups (60 mg and 80 mg) and higher dose groups (120mg &160mg) were combined to achieve group size of 7 or more for PD assessments and these were designated as low-dose and high-dose groups respectively. Per-protocol Set included all randomised subjects who received at least one dose of Study Drug and had at least one post-baseline efficacy or PD assessment, received at least 5 of the 6 doses of Study Drug with first 3 doses administered on schedule, and had no significant protocol deviations that would have been expected to affect efficacy. Low dose=60/80 mg, high=120/160 mg.

    Number of Subjects Achieving Normalized IGF-1 Levels to Within 1.2 Times of Gender and Age Limits at 28 Days After Last Dose
    End point description
    Normalization of circulating IGF-1 is a validated marker for the treatment of acromegaly. IGF-1 assessments were based on a single serum sample taken in fasting conditions, prior to the study drug administration. Normal IGF-1 levels for a participant differ based on age and gender. Number of participants with a normal IGF-1 level which were 1.2 times within gender and age limits after 28 days of the last dose (Day 141) are presented. To perform a meaningful assessment of the pharmacodynamic activity of ISIS 766720, the lower dose groups (60 mg and 80 mg) and higher dose groups (120 mg and 160 mg) were combined to achieve group size of 7 or more for PD assessments and these were designated as low-dose and high-dose groups respectively. Per-protocol Set. Low dose refers to 60 mg or 80 mg, High dose refers to 120 mg or 160 mg.

    Number of Subjects Achieving Normalized IGF-1 Levels to Within 1.0 Times of Gender and Age Limits at 28 Days After Last Dose
    End point description
    Normalization of circulating IGF-1 is a validated marker for the treatment of acromegaly. IGF-1 assessments were based on a single serum sample taken in fasting conditions, prior to the study drug administration. Normal IGF-1 levels for a participant differ based on age and gender. Number of participants with a normal IGF-1 level which were 1.0 times within gender and age limits after 28 days of the last dose (Day 141) are presented. To perform a meaningful assessment of the pharmacodynamic activity of ISIS 766720, the lower dose groups (60 mg and 80 mg) and higher dose groups (120 mg and 160 mg) were combined to achieve group size of 7 or more for PD assessments and these were designated as low-dose and high-dose groups respectively.

    Change From Baseline in Serum IGF-1 Over Time
    End point description
    IGF-1 is a hormone that manages effects of GH in body. Change from Baseline in IGF-1 levels was measured at multiple timepoints up to Day 211. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the first administration of Study Drug (ISIS 766720 or placebo). A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement. To perform a meaningful assessment of the PD activity of ISIS 766720, the lower dose groups (60 mg and 80 mg) and higher dose groups (120 mg and 160 mg) were combined to achieve group size of 7 or more for PD assessments and these were designated as low-dose and high-dose groups respectively. Per-protocol Set. Number analyzed is the number of subjects with data available at specific timepoints. Low dose refers to 60 mg or 80 mg, High dose refers to 120 mg or 160 mg.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Jun 2018
    Amendment 1 clarified inconsistencies within the protocol and included flexibility with protocol procedures to improve operational logistics at the study centers and included recommendations from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
    10 Aug 2018
    Amendment 2 updated the inclusion criteria pertaining to the use of contraceptive methods for Women of Child Bearing Potential (WOCBP) and men who were engaged in sexual relations with WOCBP so that the requirements corresponded to the latest International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG) recommendations dated 15 September 2014. Reference to pituitary tumor in the section on Study Drug discontinuation was revised to be consistent with exclusion criterion #4.
    14 May 2019
    Amendment 3 added Cohort C (120 mg) to explore the safety and efficacy of a higher dose to facilitate Phase 3 dose selection. Since the protocol was powered for 30 subjects , it was planned that recruitment for Cohorts A and B would be stopped at or about 30 subjects and Cohort C initiated. The amendment included the potential to enroll Cohort D (160 mg) but data from the lower dose cohorts would be reviewed prior to initiation of that cohort. The amendment also incorporated clarifications that had been provided in “Memos to Investigators.” Addendum 1 to Amendment 3 (17 July 2020) formalized guidance given in the 1 May 2020 memo “ISIS 766720-CS2: Coronavirus COVID-19 Guidance” to Investigators. The addendum allowed for additional visits and procedures to be conducted via home health visits when in-clinic visits were affected due to local precautions and restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may have limited the subject's ability to go to the clinic.
    18 May 2020
    Amendment 4 updated several requirements for patient eligibility for the study based on available safety data, formalized the procedures added to the protocol based on the guidance given in the 1 May 2020 Memo to Investigators, and updated the protocol to reflect the decision to conduct Cohort D.
