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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    To study safety and tolerability of subcutaneously administered ILB in patients diagnosed with ALS.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki that are consistent with International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH)/Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements. Informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to initiation of the study. Protocol deviations related to GCP that were reported during the study are discussed further in the section "More information".
    Background therapy
    No background therapy was used in the trial.
    Evidence for comparator
    There was no comparator used in this study. There was 1 treatment group that received the test product.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Screening was performed 30 days prior to treatment. The first patient screened was on 2018-09-17. It was planned to include 15 patients in the study, however due to delays in recruitment and the fact that no safety concerns were reported, it was decided by the Sponsor to terminate patient recruitment and conclude the study with 13 patients

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Twenty patients were screened 13 were included and treated. The reasons for screening failure were: not fulfilment of inclusion/exclusion criteria and death before study start. All 13 patients were included in the analysis. One patient did not attend the last follow-up visit due to ALS progression. A total of 12 patients completed the study.

    Subcutaneous use
    Dosage and administration details
    There was only 1 treatment group in the study (ILB treatment group). The dose administered (1 mg/kg) depended on the patient’s body weight at Visit 2, prior to the first ILB administration. The ILB was administered in single short term subcutaneous injections on alternative sides of the abdomen, thigh or buttock, in that order of priority. The maximum volume injected at each injection site was approximately 2 mL and the number of injections per patient could range between 1 and 3 sites depending on the volume to be injected. Each administration occurred within ±3 days from the pre-defined dosing days (Days 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29) with at least 4 days between 2 IMP administrations. ILB administration was performed by the study personnel and patients were observed for at least 3 hours after the injection.

    Frequency, seriousness and intensity of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events [1]
    End point description
    A Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) was defined as any AE not present prior to the initiation of IMP administration or any event already present that worsened in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the IMP. A serious AE (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: • Resulted in death • Was life-threatening • Required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or • Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect All AEs and SAEs were recorded from start of IMP administration until the end of follow-up (Visit 9). Adverse events that occurred before first IMP treatment were reported separately as baseline events.

    Single 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)was recorded after 10 minutes of supine rest using an ECG machine. PQ/PR, QRS, QT and QTcH intervals were recorded. All ECG data were listed for each patient and summarised as vital signs parameters. The baseline was defined as the last measurement prior to first dose of the test product (i.e. measurement at Visit 1a).

    Disease severity was evaluated by the Investigator using the ALSFRS-R rating scale in an interview with the patient at Visit 1a (Screening), pre-dose at Visits 2-5 (treatment) and Visits 7-9 (follow-up). ALSFR-S measured 12 different functions (speech, salivation, swallowing, handwriting, cut food and use utensils, dressing and hygiene, turning in bed and adjusting the bedding, walking, climbing stairs, dyspnea, orthopnea and respiratory insufficiency). For each function, 0 to 4 points were assigned, where 0= worst and 4= best. The total ALSFR-S score was the sum of all points collected. The baseline was defined as the last measurement prior to first dose of the test product (i.e. measurement at Visit 2). The parameters were presented as changes from baseline using summary statistics. The overall significance level was 5%. The statistical test used was non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank sum test, for within patient changes over time.

The overall significance level was 5%. The statistical test used was non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank sum test, for within patient changes over time.

    Pulmonary function
    End point description
    Pulmonary function was measured as percentage of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Visit 1a (Screening), pre-dose at Visits 2-5 (treatment) and Visits 7-9 (follow-up). The baseline was defined as the last measurement prior to first dose of the test product (i.e. measurement at Visit 2). The overall significance level was 5%. The statistical test used was non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank sum test, for within patient changes over time. The mean FVC at baseline (Visit 2) was 84.60% (SD 13.74).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Dec 2018
    CSP Section 9.1 Added that a patient can be re-screened, because it was not clearly described in the previous CSP version. CSP Sections 9.3 and 9.4 Replaced inclusion criterion #6 with exclusion criterion #12, to clarify that only patients with clinically significant abnormal PK-INR, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor and APTT at screening should be excluded. This change was made because this information was more clearly expressed as an inclusion criterion. CSP Section 16.7.4 Addition of interim analysis, as an extra review of effects and security.
    11 Jul 2019
    CSP Section 12.3.7 Addition of pregnancy reporting, because it was not included in the previous CSP version, but it is mandatory according to the IHC-GCP.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    20 Aug 2019
    The planned number of patients to be included in the study was 15, however due to delays in recruitment, and the fact that no SAEs or other safety concerns were reported, it was decided by the Sponsor to terminate patient recruitment and conclude the study with 13 patients.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    There were 44 protocol deviations reported and they were mainly related to GCP compliance, missing laboratory data and violations of inclusion/exclusion criteria. Other protocol deviations were related to schedule/timing of assessments.
