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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Open-label Dose Escalation
    Evaluate the safety and tolerability of weekly IV doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg of eteplirsen.

    Double-blind Dose Finding:
    Evaluate the PK, PD (exon skipping
    quantitation), safety and tolerability of doses higher than 30 mg/kg of eteplirsen, to select a single higher dose of eteplirsen for Dose Comparison

    Double-blind Dose Comparison:
    Comparison of a selected high dose of eteplirsen with 30 mg/kg IV weekly
    To investigate the effect of a selected high dose of eteplirsen (100 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg) as compared with 30 mg/kg, administered weekly IV, on motor function in ambulant Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients with confirmed deletion genotypes amenable to exon 51 skipping
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Double-blind Dose Comparison:

    Comparison of a selected high dose of eteplirsen with 30 mg/kg IV weekly on:
    -Ambulatory performance
    -Pulmonary function
    -Dystrophin expression
    To evaluate safety and tolerability of a selected high dose as compared with 30 mg/kg of eteplirsen, administered weekly IV
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    A patient must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible to participate in this study.
    1. Be a male with an established clinical diagnosis of DMD and an out-of-frame deletion mutation of the DMD gene amenable to exon 51 skipping (for example, deletions of exons 45-50, 47-50, 48-50, 49-50, 50, 52, and 52-63).
    2. Be aged 7 to 13 years, inclusive
    3. Have achieved a mean 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance of ≥300 and ≤450 meters (without assistance) at both the screening and baseline visits for the double-blind.
    4. Have intact right and left biceps muscles (the preferred biopsy site) or an alternative upper arm muscle group that will allow for sufficiently sized (1 cm3) muscle biopsies to be obtained prior to and on treatment.
    5. Have been on a stable dose or dose equivalent of oral corticosteroids for at least 24 weeks prior to randomization, and the dose is expected to remain constant (except for modifications to accommodate changes in weight) throughout the study.
    6. Have stable pulmonary function (forced vital capacity ≥50% of predicted and no requirement for nocturnal ventilation) that, in the Investigator’s opinion, is unlikely to decompensate significantly over the duration of the study.
    7. If sexually active, agree to use a male condom during such activity for the entire duration of the study and for 90 days after the last dose. The sexual partner must also use a medically acceptable form of contraceptive (ie, female oral contraceptives) during this timeframe.
    8. Have (a) parent(s) or legal guardian(s) who is (are) able to understand and comply with all the study requirements.
    9. Is willing to provide informed assent (if applicable) and has (a) parent(s) or legal guardian(s) who is (are) willing to provide written informed consent for the patient to participate in the study.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    A patient who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from this study:
    1. Use of any pharmacologic treatment (other than corticosteroids) within 12 weeks prior to randomization that may have an effect on muscle strength or function. Growth hormone for short stature and testosterone for delayed puberty are permitted if an endocrinologist has documented the diagnosis and medical necessity of treatment and if the patient has been on a stable dose for at least 24 weeks prior to randomization.
    2. Current or previous treatment with any other experimental pharmacologic treatment for DMD or any prior exposure to antisense oligonucleotide, gene therapy or gene editing; exceptions are listed in number 3 below.
    3. Previous treatment with drisapersen, ezutromid, or domagrozumab in the last 24 weeks prior to study enrollment.
    4. Major surgery within 3 months prior to randomization or planned surgery for any time during this study, except for allowed protocol-specified surgery, as applicable.
    5. Presence of any other significant neuromuscular or genetic disease other than DMD (eg, dwarfism).
    6. Presence of other clinically significant illness including significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, immunologic, or behavioral disease or malignancy.
    7. Has evidence of cardiomyopathy, as defined by LVEF <50% on the screening ECHO or the Fridericia’s correction formula (QTcF) ≥450 milliseconds based on the screening ECGs.
    8. Prior or ongoing medical condition that could, in the Investigator’s opinion, adversely affect the safety of the patient, make it unlikely that the course of treatment would be completed, or impair the assessment of study results.
    9. Is, in the Investigator’s opinion, unable or unwilling to comply with the study procedures.
