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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objectives of the trial were: • To demonstrate similar efficacy between GP2411 and EU-Prolia, in terms of bone mineral density (BMD) • To demonstrate similar pharmacodynamics (PD) between GP2411 and EU-Prolia, in terms of the bone resorption marker Carboxy-terminal crosslinked telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX) • To demonstrate similar pharmacokinetics (PK) between GP2411 and EU-Prolia
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Recruitment details
    Participants took part in 43 investigative sites in 6 countries.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    There was a screening period of up to 5 weeks. On Day 1, participants were randomized 1:1 to GP2411 or EU-Prolia for Treatment Period 1 (TP1). At Week 52, participants in the EU-Prolia group were re-randomized 1:1 to continue with EU-Prolia or switch to GP2411 for Treatment Period 2 (TP2). Participants in GP2411 group continued with GP2411 for TP2

    Percent change from baseline in lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS-BMD) at Week 52 – Per-Protocol Set
    End point description
    Bone density measurements were performed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Lumbar spine scan included L1 through L4 vertebrae. All DXA scans were submitted to a central imaging vendor for analysis. A mixed effect model for repeated measurements (MMRM) was fitted to the changes from baseline in LS-BMD for all post-baseline time points up to Week 52. Values at Week 52 were estimated from the model and are presented in the table.

    Carboxy-terminal crosslinked telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX) is a bone resorption biomarker. Serum CTX concentration-time data were analyzed by non-compartmental methods. The AUEC of baseline corrected serum CTX concentrations (% change from baseline) was calculated using the linear trapezoidal method. Values below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were imputed with the actual value for the LLOQ.

    Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf) of denosumab after first dose
    End point description
    Serum denosumab concentration-time data were analyzed by non-compartmental methods. Missing denosumab serum concentrations or concentrations below the LLOQ were not imputed and handled as missing values, except for the pre-dose sample which were treated as zero. The linear-up log-down trapezoidal method was used for the AUCinf calculation.

    Number of participants with vertebral fractures up to Week 52 - Treatment Period 1
    End point description
    Vertebral fractures were assessed by independent radiologists at the central imaging vendor. The radiologists assessed lateral thoracic (vertebrae T4 to T12) and lumbar (vertebrae L1 to L4) spine radiographs for vertebral fractures. New and worsening vertebral fractures are defined as occurrence of new fracture (i.e. change in Genant score from 0 at baseline to 1 or higher at a later time point) or worsening fracture (i.e. increase in Genant score from baseline at a later time point) in any assessed vertebra. The Genant classification of vertebral fractures is based on the vertebral shape, with respect to vertebral height loss involving the anterior, posterior, and/or middle vertebral body and ranges between 0 (normal) and 3 (severe fracture, >40% loss of height). The number of participants in each category is reported in the table.

    Number of participants with vertebral fractures from Week 52 up to Week 78 - Treatment Period 2
    End point description
    Vertebral fractures were assessed by independent radiologists at the central imaging vendor. The radiologists assessed lateral thoracic (vertebrae T4 to T12) and lumbar (vertebrae L1 to L4) spine radiographs for vertebral fractures. New and worsening vertebral fractures are defined as occurrence of new fracture (i.e. change in Genant score from 0 at Week 52 to 1 or higher at a later time point) or worsening fracture (i.e. increase in Genant score from Week 52 at a later time point) in any assessed vertebra. The Genant classification of vertebral fractures is based on the vertebral shape, with respect to vertebral height loss involving the anterior, posterior, and/or middle vertebral body and ranges between 0 (normal) and 3 (severe fracture, >40% loss of height). The number of participants in each category is reported in the table.

    Immunogenicity was evaluated in serum. Samples were screened for potential anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and positive screen results were confirmed using a confirmatory assay. For confirmed ADA positive samples, titers were determined. Confirmed ADAs were also analyzed for their neutralization potential. Patient ADA status was defined as follows: • ADA Positive: ADA-positive sample at any time point during TP1 • ADA Positive, Persistent: ‘Persistent‘ indicates a subject experiencing a positive ADA result at the final visit and with at least 2 consecutive positive ADA results • ADA Positive, Transient: ‘Transient’ indicates a subject experiencing positive ADA result but not qualifying as ‘Persistent‘ • ADA titer positive: ADA-positive sample with a titer result ≥ 20 ng/mL • NAb Positive: ADA-positive sample with presence of neutralizing antibodies (NAb) The number of participants in each category is reported in the table.

    End point description
    Serum samples were analyzed for concentrations of free denosumab by using a validated ligand binding assay. Briefly, the concentration of free denosumab was determined by binding to coated ligand molecules. Denosumab concentrations below the LLOQ were set to zero in order to calculate arithmetic means.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Dec 2018
    The main purpose of this amendment was to use appropriate terminology, e.g. when referring to US-licensed Prolia and EU-authorized Prolia.
    15 Mar 2019
    The following main changes were implemented: • The sample size calculations were updated to change the CI for the LS-BMD for the FDA requirements to use a 95% CI in the similarity assessment of the primary endpoint. • The inclusion and exclusion criteria were updated, additional PK, PD and ADA sampling time points were added, the definition of the analysis sets was updated, handling of missing efficacy values was clarified, and a sensitivity analysis was planned. In addition, severity grading of ISRs and other AEs was updated. • Severity grading of ISRs was updated to align with the CTCAE classification.
    21 Feb 2020
    The following changes were made: • SD estimate of %CfB in LS-BMD at Week 52 was updated and analysis set for the primary analysis of %CfB in LS-BMD for FDA was updated from PPS to TP1 FAS, which resulted in a reduction of the sample size. • This amendment also changed the calcium assessment by shifting from the parameter “albumin adjusted serum calcium” to the parameter “total serum calcium”. • Screening period was prolonged from 28 to 35 days.
    30 Oct 2020
    Following changes were made: • The statistical testing strategy was updated from one overall study testing strategy to three separate testing strategies which address different health authority requirements •Details were added on the MMRM model, and the handling and statistical analysis of missing data.
