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   44020   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7318   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.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of arimoclomol at a daily dosage of 1200 mg (400 mg t.i.d) compared to placebo in the treatment of sporadic IBM at 20 months.

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Meet any of the European Neuromuscular Centre Inclusion Body Myositis research diagnostic criteria 2011 categories for IBM.1 (as per Appendix 1 of the protocol)
    2. Demonstrate being able to arise from a chair without support from another person or device
    3. Able to ambulate at least 20 ft/6 meters with or without assistive device. Once arisen from the chair, participant may use any walking device, i.e. walker/frame, cane, crutches, or braces. They cannot be supported by another person and cannot use furniture or wall for support.
    4. Age at onset of weakness > 45 years
    5. Body weight of > 40 kgs
    6. Able to give informed consent
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. History of any of the following excludes subject participation in the study: chronic infection particularly HIV or Hepatitis B or C; cancer other than basal cell cancer less than five years prior, or other chronic serious medical illnesses.
    2. Presence of any of the following on routine blood screening: WBC < 3000; platelets < 100,000; hematocrit < 30%; BUN > 30 mg; creatinine > 1.5 x upper limit of normal; symptomatic liver disease with serum albumin < 30mg/dl
    3. History of most recent creatine kinase >15x the upper limit of normal without any other explanation besides IBM.
    4. History of non-compliance with other therapies.
    5. Use of testosterone except for physiologic replacement doses in case of androgen deficiency. Participants must have documented proof of the androgen deficiency.
    6. Coexistence of any other disease that would likely to affect outcome measures.
    7. Drug or alcohol abuse within past three months. Patient has recent history (within 6 months before Screening) of chronic alcohol or drug abuse which may compromise the patient’s safety or ability to participate in study activities. Cannabis for IBM symptoms will be allowed (where legal).
    8. Participation in a recent drug study in the last 30 days prior to the screening visit or use of biologic agents less than 6 months prior to the screening visit.
    9. Women who are lactating or pregnant, or sexually active female subjects of child-bearing potential* intending to become pregnant or unwilling to use a highly effective method of contraception** during the trial through 1 month after the last dose of trial medication. Sexually active males with female partners of child-bearing potential* unwilling to use a condom with or without spermicide in addition to the birth control used by their partners during the trial until 3 months after the last dose of trial medication unless surgically sterile (vasectomy).
    Non child-bearing potential is defined as post-menopausal (minimum of 12 months with no menses and follicle-stimulating hormone in the post-menopausal range) or sterilisation (hysterectomy, oophorectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation).
    ** Highly effective methods of contraception include combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal); progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, or implantable); intrauterine device; intrauterine hormone-releasing system; bilateral tubal occlusion; and vasectomised partner.
    According to the recommendations from the Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG, 2014), sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective birth control method only if it is defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the trial until 1 month after the last dose of trial medication (for female subjects of child-bearing potential) and for 3 months after the last dose of trial medication (for male subjects with female partners of child-bearing potential). The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated by the investigator in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.
    10. Participants taking >7.5 mg prednisolone or equivalent or participants on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) or other immunosuppressants within the last 3 months. Topical, nasal, and ocular corticosteroids are allowed unless they are being widely applied or the severity of the underlying condition makes them unsuitable in the Investigator’s opinion. Local steroid injections are allowed.
    11. Clinically significant renal or hepatic disease, as indicated by clinical laboratory assessment (results ≥3 times the upper limit of normal [ULN] for alanine aminotransferase combined with bilirubin ≥2 times the ULN; symptomatic liver disease with serum albumin < 3 g/dL; or creatinine ≥1.5 times the ULN). Laboratory tests may be repeated once at screening. Reasons to repeat laboratory tests may include that the medication causing laboratory abnormality was suspended, any other suspected cause may no longer exist, or to rule out laboratory error.
