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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The trial objective was to investigate the efficacy and safety of orally administered BX-1 compared to placebo in patients with spasticity due to multiple sclerosis not sufficiently controlled by current anti-spasticity medication.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the protocol and its amendments, the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (2013) as well as with the valid national law(s) of the participating countries, with the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Harmonised Tripartite Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) (ICH-E6[R2]), and with the EU Commission Directive 2001/20/EC.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    548 subjects planned to be enrolled in approximately 50 sites in 5 Europpean countries to randomise 384 subjects. 507 subjects were enrolled in 39 active sites in 5 European countries: Poland (10 sites), Hungary (9 sites), Germany (5 sites), Czech Republic (11 sites) and Spain (4 sites), 397 subjects were randomised.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Prior randomization there is a screening and placebo lead-in period. Therefore a total of 507 subjects have been enrolled/screened, but only 397 were randomized to BX-1 or placebo at baseline.

    GLOBAL PROTOCOL AMENDMENT NO. 2: Section concerned: Changes/Modifications Section 8.3 Exclusion Criteria No. 11: for the evaluation of the renal function, the parameter was changed from creatinine clearance <50 mL/min to estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73m2. Section 9.3.3 Electrocardiogram (ECG): the specifications for recording the ECG were deleted, since no evaluation of individual parameters is required. Section 11.6 Drug Compliance: it was corrected that the compliance for the maintenance and treatment phase can be calculated according to the trial design only starting from visit 4. Statistical adaptations according to the Statistical Analysis Plan were performed in the following sections: - 12.2.1 Analysis sets - 12.2.5 Other analysis - 12.2.6 Subgroup analyses The following sections have been amended to provide a better understanding of the protocol: - 7.5.2 Dosage schedule - 8.2 Inclusion Criteria No. 3, 7 and 8 - 8.4 Patients of childbearing potential - 8.7 Screening failure, lead-in failure and randomisation failure - 9.1.4 Multiple Sclerosis - 9.1.6 Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) - 9.1.8 Previous and concomitant medication and non-drug therapy - 9.2.4 Timed 25-Foot Walk Test (T25-FW) - 11.6 Drug Compliance Further corrections and specifications: - Completion and correction of chapter 2 “Administrative Structure” - Adaptation of the time schedule Correction of minor spelling and formal errors
