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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 determine the diagnostic efficacy of macimorelin in diagnosing suspected growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in pediatric subjects assuming the outcome of GHD status adjudication by the external adjudication committee as the "true" GHD status.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Participants were closely monitored for adverse events, with safety assessments integrated into the protocol to promptly identify any issues requiring investigator intervention. At the same time, the frequency of assessments and visits was limited to essential procedures, balancing thorough safety oversight with minimising the burden on participants. Enrollment criteria and concomitant medications were defined to exclude participants with a high risk of events during the trial. To ensure adequate treatment also in emergency situations (e.g., allergic reaction), the investigator ensured test administration and participant observation in an adequate facility, with the required standards of treatment being available if required. Additionally, several efforts were made to minimise the inconvenience to the participants during the trial. The fasting period was reduced to the extent possible; the investigators were encouraged to use numbing cream according to local practice to reduce the pain during peripheral venous access.
    Background therapy
    Prepubertal boys >11 years and prepubertal girls >10 years underwent sex steroid priming before each GHST12. Both boys and girls should have received 2 mg (1 mg for body weight <20 kg) of β-estradiol orally on each of the two evenings preceding the test.
    Evidence for comparator
    Besides the macimorelin GHST, arginine and clonidine standard GHSTs (sGHSTs) were performed. R-Gene 10 for the arginine GHST, and CATAPRESAN 75 for the clonidine GHST were administered as labelled IMP. No direct comparison was performed between macimorelin GHST and the sGHSTs, but the results of the sGHSTs were considered to determine the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency used to determine the diagnostic efficacy of the macimorelin GHST.

    End point title
    Macimorelin ROC [1]
    End point description
    Assuming the outcome of GHD status adjudication final clinical diagnosis as the “true” GHD status, the diagnostic efficacy (estimated sensitivity, specificity, misclassification) of the macimorelin GHST was based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC). ROC AUC based on peak GH levels (Cmax GH) after stimulation with macimorelin was estimated non-parametrically using the trapezoidal area under the empirical ROC plot. Based on the observed PK and PD data for macimorelin, which are in-line with previous data in children (trial AEZS-130-P01) and adults, the outcome of the efficacy analysis is surprising for the sponsor. Considering that macimorelin has been validated successfully as diagnostic test in the adult population, post-hoc analyses activities have been started to understand the reasons for the efficacy outcome. The final post-hoc analyses are not available yet at the time of finalization of this CTR.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Sep 2021
    The overall rationale for the changes implemented in the amended protocol was to overcome inconsistencies between the flowchart, synopsis and the full text body, respectively. Furthermore, β-estradiol was being presented as NIMP supplied centrally to Non-USA based sites.
    28 Feb 2024
    The overall rationale for the changes implemented in the amended protocol was to update the number of sites and list of countries involved in this trial, to update the contact information for service providers, and to introduce the collection of certified redacted paper ECG copies.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Considering that macimorelin has been validated successfully as diagnostic test in the adult population, post-hoc analyses activities have been started to understand the reasons for the efficacy outcome.
