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   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Stargardt Disease
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Eye Diseases [C11]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Evaluate the efficacy of soraprazan in reducing the amount of lipofuscin in RPE cells of subjects with Stargardt disease by assessing the change in quantitative autofluorescence (qAF8) from baseline to after treatment with soraprazan compared to placebo for up to 12 months.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Evaluate the efficacy of soraprazan in reducing the amount of lipofuscin in RPE cells of subjects with Stargardt disease by assessing the change in quantitative auto-fluorescence (qAF8) from baseline to after treatment with soraprazan compared to placebo for up to 24 months.

    Assess the safety and efficacy of soraprazan based on safety parameters and secondary efficacy parameters such as change in visual function and structural changes after treatment with soraprazan compared to placebo for up to 24 months.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Elevated qAF8 in at least one eye at screening (value ≥ 300 Units).
    • Male or female of any ethnicity and ≥ 18 years old.
    • Onset of STGD disease before the age of 45 years
    • Visual acuity of the study eye: BCVA 0.2-0.8 (decimal unit).
    • Clinical diagnosis of typical autosomal recessive Stargardt macular dystrophy (STGD1).
    • Genetic report indicating at least two ABCA4 mutations (one with confirmed pathogenesis by a certified lab, one reported previously).
    • Study eye must have clear ocular media and adequate pupillary dilation, including no allergy to dilating eye drops and with sufficient fixation to permit good quality retinal imaging.
    • Able and willing to comply with study requirements, restrictions and instructions and is likely to complete the study.
    • Signed and dated informed consent form.
    • Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects participating in the study who are sexually active must use acceptable contraception from screening and until one month after intake of the last IMP dose. Male and female subjects documented as being of non-child bearing potential (e.g. infertile, surgically sterile, postmenopausal) are exempt from the contraceptive requirements.
    • Willing to avoid excessive exposure to sun light (e.g. by using a hat, UV absorbing sunglasses and sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30).
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Intolerance to acid pump antagonists (APAs).
    • Hypersensitivity to soraprazan or to any of the excipients.
    • Intake of prohibited medications/supplements (supplements containing vitamin A or beta-carotene, medications to treat any liver disease, or oral retinoid medications) within 28 days prior to screening and throughout the study.
    • Intake of other drugs with a pH dependent absorption, e.g. ketoconazole.
    • Breastfeeding, pregnant, or positive urine pregnancy test at screening or visit 2 (first intake of Investigational Medicinal Product, IMP).
    • At screening, clinically significant abnormal haematology or biochemistry findings. Levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and/or total bilirubin >1.5 x ULN (upper limit of normal) at screening will lead to exclusion.
    • Acute or unstable severe disease or history of disease which in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in the study.
    • Active or history of an additional ocular disorder in the primary study eye that, in the opinion of the investigator, may confound the study results. These include, but are not limited to, any reason that might interfere with the imaging techniques used in the study (such as optic media opacity or poor pupil dilatation), inflammatory eye disease, other retinal disorders besides STGD, confirmed glaucoma or baseline intraocular pressure of ≥25mmHg, optic neuritis, high myopia (>8D spherical equivalent), amblyopia.
    • Intraocular surgery or injections in the primary study eye within 180 days of the screening visit.
    • Clinically significant abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG), or a corrected QT interval (QTc) of ≥450 ms in males or ≥470 ms in females.
    • Participation in any other investigational clinical trial within 28 days of the screening visit.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Change in qAF8 score from baseline to Month 12 (Visit 10) for soraprazan compared to placebo treated subjects. Evaluation of qAF8 score for all subjects will be done at a central reading centre.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Baseline and until Month 12
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Change in qAF8 score from baseline to Month 24 for soraprazan compared to placebo treated subjects. Evaluation of qAF8 score for all subjects will be done at a central reading centre.

    Comparison will be made between soraprazan and placebo treatment arms at Month 12 and Month 24 for the following:

    5. Change from baseline in binocular and monocular critical print size as assessed by Radner charts.
    6. Macular functional response as assessed by mesopic microperimetry
    7. Subject-reported visual function as assessed by the National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire 25 (NEI VFQ-25) and Functional Reading Independence (FRI) Index

    Structural
    8. Changes in central subfield retinal thickness (CSRT) as assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT)
    9. Changes in macular volume as assessed by SD-OCT
    10. Changes in outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness as assessed by SD-OCT
