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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 ).

    Sensitivity and Specificity of Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) in the Detection of Significant Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) as Defined by Cardiac Catheterization [1]
    End point description
    Sensitivity was defined as true positives (TP)/(TP+false negatives [FN]). TP was subjects with abnormal PET MPI and disease positive by truth standard and FN was subjects with normal PET MPI and disease positive by truth standard. Specificity defined as true negatives (TN)/(TN+ false positives [FP]). TN was subjects with normal PET MPI and disease negative by truth standard and FP was subjects with abnormal PET MPI and disease negative by truth standard. Truth standard was presence of CAD as evidenced by presence of stenosis of >=50 percent (%) in >=1 coronary artery or major branch of a coronary artery as determined by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) analysis. Subjects were considered to have CAD if QCA revealed >=50% stenosis of >=1 major coronary artery or major branch. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for 3 readers and majority rule using each subject judgement (positive or negative) by at least 2 of 3 readers. MITT population.

    Sensitivity and Specificity of Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection PET MPI Compared SPECT MPI for Female Subjects When the Diagnosis of CAD by ICA Was the Standard of Truth
    End point description
    Sensitivity: TP/(TP+FN). TP: subjects with abnormal PET MPI and disease positive by truth standard and FN: subjects with normal PET MPI and disease positive by truth standard. Specificity: TN/(TN+ FP). TN: subjects with normal PET MPI and disease negative by truth standard and FP: subjects with abnormal PET MPI and disease negative by truth standard. Truth standard was presence of CAD as evidenced by presence of stenosis of >=50% in >=1 coronary artery or major branch of a coronary artery as determined by QCA analysis. Subjects considered to have CAD if QCA revealed >=50% stenosis of >=1 major coronary artery or major branch. Sensitivity, specificity calculated for 3 readers and majority rule using each subject judgement (positive or negative) by at least 2 of 3 readers. SMITT population. Here, “number of subjects analyzed”= subjects who were analysed for a specific reader (combined sensitivity or specificity) and “n” = subjects who were evaluable for specified categories.

    Reporting group description
    Subjects received 2 IV boluses of Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection in large peripheral vein:1 at rest then 1 during stress on same day within 60 days prior to ICA. Flurpiridaz(18F) Injection administered were not to exceed total of 14 mCi (520 MBq). Flurpiridaz was administered on Day 1. SPECT agents 99mTcbased myocardial tracers e.g. [99mTc]tetrofosmin or [99mTc]sestamibi were administered per American Society of Nuclear Cardiology or European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging standards corresponding to study site location. Same stress type (pharmacologic or exercise) was used for SPECT and Flurpiridaz(18F) Injection PETMPI. Also, if pharmacological stress was used, same agent, dose of pharmacological stress agent was used for both types of imaging for same subject. Pharmacological stress agents administered according to respective Package Insert or American Society of Nuclear Cardiology or European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging standards corresponding to study site location.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Aug 2018
    Amendment 1: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% was removed from exclusion criterion (8). The purpose of exclusion criterion 8 was to eliminate known/confirmed heart failure. The inclusion of an EF lower limit to specify which subjects should be included did not address this aim. Ejection fraction defines different heart failure phenotypes (e.g. heart failure with preserved, reduced or mid-range ejection fraction) and as such was not relevant to the aim of excluding those with a heart failure diagnosis as a whole. Even if the purpose was to exclude only subjects with reduced EF, the EF of 50% corresponds to ‘normal’ EF when echocardiography is performed but does not correspond to the appropriate value to demark normal and abnormal ejection fractions for other modalities such as SPECT. • Clarification of follow-up period for the study. • Clarification of medicinal products in the study and update of storage and handling conditions for Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection. • Corrections to text to ensure recording of concurrent medications to study completion. • Removal of requirement for drug and alcohol screening. Drug and alcohol abuse screening is useful to address: (1) unique safety concerns associated with potential interactions of IMP with illicit drugs, (2) concerns regarding confounding of an efficacy signal, and (3) concerns that follow-up would be compromised given occult substance abuse. GE Healthcare determined that these concerns were minimal, given: (1) there were no unique concerns regarding drug/illicit drug interactions, particularly given that Flurpiridaz is administered to subjects in one sitting (as opposed to repeatedly) at a tracer dose;
    03 Aug 2018
    Amendment 1 (Continued): (2) concerns of confounding the correlation between the anatomical gold standard of the QCA and the PET MPI blinded reads were minimal. It was possible that toxic effects of illicit drugs (such as cocaine) could affect the microvascular function that in turn could lead to perfusion abnormalities as seen on MPI in the absence of significant epicardial coronary stenoses evidenced on QCA. GE Healthcare believed that these discrepancies were likely to be minimal and encountered infrequently, and (3) subjects were already being screened for psychiatric conditions which could impair participation in all study visits (exclusion #12). Substance abuse is an axis II disorder and investigators were counselled to exclude subjects with ongoing drug abuse that may have led to poor compliance in the manual of procedures. Given the short-term follow up of this study, it was unlikely that occult substance abuse (missed as part of the medical history) would frequently impair subject follow up. Since the Sponsor believed that active substance abuse was likely to be rare and to have minimal if any effect on efficacy, no effect on safety, and minimal if any effect on follow-up compliance, the collection of this sensitive health information was not justified. • Guidance regarding use of beta blocker therapy was added. To ensure that the PET and SPECT MPI were conducted according to guidelines and in accordance with standard clinical care, study sites were advised to withhold the beta-blocker when possible for at least 24 hours prior to the stress test. Evidence demonstrates that beta-blockade at the time of stress testing may reduce the sensitivity of MPI. GE Healthcare acknowledged that withholding the beta-blocker might not always be possible due to clinical concerns such as difficult to control hypertension or arrhythmia (as per the guidelines).
    03 Aug 2018
    Amendment 1 (Continued): • Clarification that an additional blood sample at screening could be analysed by the local lab to determine if the subject met exclusion criteria. Dependence on central lab results for screening purposes would result in a delay from screening to the earliest performance of in study visits (including the PET or on-study SPECT) of at least 48 hours from the time of the lab draw (in most cases). This delay added a significant hurdle to subject recruitment and retainment in a study where all study visits must occur prior to a prescheduled invasive coronary angiography. In most cases the window between screening and the clinical intracoronary angiography was expected to be less than 7 days. Permitting screening through the use of local labs permitted subject to be screened, enrolled and have a SPECT scan in a minimal amount of time (or even in the same day) with a PET scan following as closely after as doses are available. Central labs results could still be used for screening if local labs were not drawn. The determination of whether to draw local labs for this purpose rested with the investigator and depended on the rapidity with which the study visits occurred (e.g., if the window between screening and ICA was brief, local labs were advised, if this window was more lengthy than local labs were not drawn). Significant discordance between local and central lab results was unlikely since the central and local labs would be drawn in the same sitting at screening. If they did occur the local lab would take precedence for the screening purposes. The safety data set was to use exclusively the central labs to analyse changes in biochemistry, since all patients would systematically have labs analysed centrally at screening and pre- and post-scan timepoints. • Safety reporting for AEs and SAEs was updated and clarified.
    18 Nov 2019
    Amendment 02: • Clarification of time points for recording vital signs. • Clarification in text that urine would be collected at pre-treatment time points only. • Medical Director details were updated following a change in personnel.
    22 Jul 2021
    Amendment 03: • Editorial correction to clarify that rest and stress SPECT MPI procedures can take place on 2 separate days that do not have to be consecutive. • Correction of typographical error in the description of the semi-quantitative read (exploratory analysis).
