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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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 ).

    A phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, outpatient two-period two-treatment crossover study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of amifampridine phosphate (3,4 diaminopyridine phosphate) in patients with Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes (CMS)

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    - To characterize the overall safety and tolerability of amifampridine phosphate compared with placebo in patients with CMS; - To assess the clinical efficacy of amifampridine phosphate compared with placebo in patients with CMS, based on improvement in subject global impression (SGI) and motor function measure (MFM 20 or 32) scores
    Protection of trial subjects
    The investigator could prescribe additional medications during the study, as long as the prescribed medication was not prohibited by the protocol. In the event of an emergency, any needed medications could be prescribed without prior approval, but it was required that the Medical Monitor be notified of the use of any contraindicated medications immediately thereafter.
    Background therapy
    None
    Evidence for comparator
    The diagnosis and management of children with congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are challenging and the response to treatment in CMS depends on the type of defect (pre-synaptic, synaptic, post-synaptic) and the kinetics of the channel affected (fast versus slow). Most patients are eligible and respond to pharmacologic intervention, including acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP), ephedrine, fluoxetine or quinidine, and albuterol. The particular therapy is dictated by the diagnosed CMS subtype, as drugs beneficial in one subtype can be detrimental in another subtype.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    From 08 February 2016 to 24 January 2019, at 6 sites in the US and one site in Canada, patients were recruited and, after screening, were randomized on the last day of the open-label run-in period (Day 0) to either Treatment Sequence 1 or 2, in a 1:1 ratio.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients who completed screening proceeded to the run-in period. Patients who were previously naïve to amifampridine or amifampridine phosphate treatment began up-titration of medication, with frequent clinic evaluation for up to 4 weeks, until reaching a stable dose and frequency for 7 days. The patient must improve by 20% on MFM20 or 32.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Some patients who had started the pre-assignment period were screen failures and were not enrolled in the trial.

The dose of amifampridine phosphate was individually determined by the investigator, within the bounds of a total daily dose of 10 mg to 80 mg, divided into doses taken 2 to 4 times per day. Doses of amifampridine phosphate were taken with food (e.g., breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack before bed) as prescribed by the investigator, based on optimal neuromuscular benefit.

The MFM was not the best scale for measuring symptoms and individual patient deficits. Particularly, in patients who had oculo-bulbar deficits (e.g., difficulty swallowing and respiratory deficits) the MFM is focused on motor movements and, as such, these patients may not have demonstrated improvement on the MFM scale. Nevertheless, the MFM was the only validated scale to include children as young as 2 years old and was therefore chosen for measurement of the secondary efficacy endpoint in this first placebo-controlled trial of genetically confirmed CMS patients.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Feb 2016
    Administrative change to clarify the original intent of a reasonable time (at least three months) between the last SGI and MFM 20 or MFM 30 assessments and the first incidence of these assessments in the protocol. This was done to provide clarity on duration between testing to avoid testing bias.
    07 Mar 2016
    An administrative change to correct the use of the term “sequence” from “period” and “outpatient” versus “office visit”. This was done to provide clarity.
    25 Apr 2017
    This amendment increased the age range of eligible subjects, expanded the statistical analysis section of the protocol increased the number of patients in the study from 10 to 23 and updated previous instruction language regarding dosing on the days of clinic evaluations.
    26 Jun 2017
    Amendments 4 and 5 formally removed videotaping of patients from the protocol, clarified start and stop times of Periods 1 and 2, blinded medication dosing, and removed the Day 36 visit. The patient was either on a stable dose of amifampridine phosphate or had been titrated over a period of 4 weeks. Additionally, the patient was observed on open-label medication for 2 weeks during the restabilization period. Therefore, the Day 36 visit on open-label medication provided no new information to the efficacy or safety profile of amifampridine phosphate and the patient could then go directly into the expanded access program.
