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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To determine the effect of once-daily, oral administration of 80 or 100 mg MGL 3196 versus matching placebo on NASH, as measured by:
    1. The resolution of NASH associated with an at least 2-point reduction in non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS) and without worsening of fibrosis by liver biopsy after 52 weeks of treatment (Week 52 Primary Endpoint) in the Week 52 population (defined as the first 900 F2 and F3 patients randomized, containing at least 450 F3 patients).
    Resolution includes:
    • The total absence of ballooning (score = 0) and absent or mild inflammation (score 0 to 1) (associated with an at least 2-point reduction in NAS).
    • No worsening of fibrosis: worsening of fibrosis is defined as any progression ≥1 stage.

    2. Time to experiencing an adjudicated Composite Clinical Outcome event in all F2 and F3 patients; Final Primary Endpoint, at 54 months.

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Key Secondary Objectives:
    1. To determine the effect of once-daily, oral administration of 80 or 100 mg MGL-3196 versus matching placebo on the percent change from Baseline at 24 weeks in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
    2. To determine the effect of once-daily, oral administration of 80 or 100 mg MGL-3196 versus placebo for 52 weeks in patients with biopsy-proven NASH on the histological improvement from Baseline demonstrated by at least a 1-point improvement in fibrosis by liver biopsy with no worsening of NAS (total of three NAS components, ballooning, inflammation and steatosis) (Fibrosis ≥1 Stage).
    Principales objetivos secundarios:
    1. Determinar el efecto de la administración por vía oral una vez al día de 80 o 100 mg de MGL-3196, en comparación con el placebo correspondiente, sobre el cambio porcentual en el colesterol unido a proteínas de baja densidad (C-LDL) desde el valor basal hasta la semana 24.
    2. Determinar el efecto de la administración por vía oral una vez al día de 80 o 100 mg de MGL-3196 en comparación con placebo durante 52 semanas, en pacientes con EHNA confirmada a través de biopsia, sobre la mejora histológica con respecto al valor basal demostrada por una mejora de al menos 1 punto en la fibrosis en la biopsia hepática, sin empeoramiento del NAS (el total de los tres componentes: balonización, inflamación y esteatosis) (“Paciente con respuesta de fibrosis ≥1 estadio”
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Only evaluate patients for study participation if they meet the Prescreening Criteria.
    Patients who do not initially meet eligibility criteria may be retested, based on Investigator judgment, to determine if they qualify to participate. Patients who meet all of the following criteria will be eligible to participate in the study:
    1. Must be willing to participate in the study and provide written informed consent.
    2. Male and female adults ≥18 years of age.
    3. Female patients are eligible if they are of reproductive potential and have a negative serum pregnancy test (beta human chorionic gonadotropin), are not breastfeeding, and do not plan to become pregnant during the study and agree to use 2 highly effective birth control methods during the study OR if they are not of child bearing potential (i.e., surgically [bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy, or tubal ligation] or naturally sterile [>12 consecutive months without menses]). Highly effective birth control methods include condoms with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide, hormonal and non-hormonal intrauterine device, hormonal contraception (estrogens stable ≥3 months), a vasectomized partner, or sexual abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse), throughout the study and for at least 30 days after study drug administration. Reliance on abstinence from heterosexual intercourse is acceptable only if it is the subject’s habitual practice.
    4. Male subjects who are sexually active with a partner of child-bearing potential must either be sterile (vasectomy with history of a negative sperm count at least 90 days following the procedure); practice total abstinence from sexual intercourse as the preferred lifestyle (periodic abstinence is not acceptable); use a male condom with any sexual activity; or agree to use a birth control method considered to be appropriate by the Investigator (such as one of the methods identified above for female subjects of childbearing potential) from the time of Screening until 30 days after the last dose of study drug administration. Male subjects must agree not to donate sperm for a period of 30 days after the last dose of study drug administration.
    5. Suspected or confirmed diagnosis of NASH suggested by the historical data assessed in the following order. Subjects MUST meet both criterion 5 (a) and (b) BEFORE obtaining an MRI-PDFF (criterion 6) or liver biopsy (criterion 7).
    a. First: Meet metabolic risk factors and elevated liver enzyme (AST) as part of Prescreening criteria.
    b. Second: Meet one of the following that is consistent with liver fibrosis:
    ○ Biochemical test for fibrosis: PRO-C3 >14 ng/mL; or ELF ≥9.
    ○ Fibroscan with transient elastography ≥8.5 kPa; and controlled attenuation parameter ≥300 dB.m-1
    ○ Historical liver biopsy obtained >24 weeks and < 2 years before expected randomization showing Stage 2 or 3 fibrosis with no significant change in body weight >5% or medication that might affect NAS or fibrosis stage. NOTE: This biopsy is not eligible for study entry because it was obtained > 24 weeks before expected randomization; however the biopsy is evidence of existing NASH fibrosis.
    6. MRI-PDFF fat fraction ≥8% obtained during the screening period (Baseline MRI-PDFF). NOTE: To be eligible to perform the screening MRI-PDFF (Baseline MRI-PDFF) a patient must first meet Criterion #5, a and b. An eligible MRI-PDFF with fat fraction ≥8% must be obtained prior to performing the baseline liver biopsy (Criterion #7). Patients with contraindications to an MRI-PDFF (e.g., metal prosthetics or uncontrolled claustrophobia) examination or screened at an investigative site where MRI-PDFF is not available are eligible for liver biopsy if they meet other inclusion criteria #5 a and b, and have a fibroscan with CAP≥300. )NOTE: An MRE and/or cT1 assessment will occur at sites with MRE equipment and/or multiparametric software.)
    7. Biopsy-proven NASH (baseline liver biopsy) based on a liver biopsy obtained within 24 weeks before anticipated date of randomization (if the biopsy is deemed acceptable for interpretation by the central reader) with fibrosis stage 1A, 1B, 2, or 3 on liver biopsy and NAS of ≥4 with a score of at least 1 in each of the following NAS components:
    a. Steatosis (scored 0 to 3)
    b. Ballooning degeneration (scored 0 to 2)
    c. Lobular inflammation (scored 0 to 3)
    Fibrosis stage 1A patients must also have elevated PRO-C3 (>14 ng/mL) obtained at Screening to be eligible to participate. Numbers of eligible F1A, F1B and F2 patients are defined in Section 5 and Section 5.1 of the Protocol

    f. History or evidence of primary biliary cholangitis
    g. History or evidence of primary sclerosing cholangitis
    h. History or evidence of Wilson's disease

    15. Serum ALT >250 U/L.
    NOTE: Must have documented historical (3 weeks to 6 months prior to the study entry) ALT and AST levels consistent with the Screening ALT and AST values. This consistency is established based on the following:
    o If the historical and Screening ALT and AST values are both ≤1.5 × ULN, there is no limit to the difference between the values.
    o If the historic ALT/AST are >1.5 × elevated and Screening ALT and AST are markedly improved (>50% decreased or normalized) relative to historic, then a third ALT/AST determination will be made during Screening to assure a stable Baseline.
    o If at least 1 of the values is >1.5 × ULN and the second value is greater than the first value, the difference in the mean of ALT and AST values must be ≤30%. If the second value is greater than the first value by >30%, a third value assessed >2 weeks after the second value should be determined to confirm lack of worsening trend in ALT/AST. If a worsening trend is confirmed (3 consecutive worsening values with difference from first value and second value >30% and difference between second and third value >30%), patient will be a screen failure.
    NOTE: Patients who do not have historical ALT and AST evaluations available will have their ALT and AST repeated during the Screening Period to assure no worsening of >30% (both assessments during Screening period) with >2 weeks between assessments.

    16. Statins and/or other lipid-lowering therapies unless dose(s) is stable for at least 6 weeks prior to anticipated randomization. Statins must be taken in the evening for at least 2 weeks prior to randomization, and permitted statins include rosuvastatin up to 20 mg/day, atorvastatin up to 40 mg/day, pravastatin up to 40 mg per day, and simvastatin up to 20 mg per day. Higher doses and other statins are excluded. Stable doses of bile acid sequestrants (e.g. cholestyramine (Questran, Prevalite), colestipol (Colestid, Flavored Colestid ), and colesevelam (Welchol)) are permitted only if taken at least 4 h after or at least 4 h before the dose of study drug.

    18 Pioglitazone >15 mg per day. Pioglitazone treatment must be stable for ≥24 weeks prior to the eligible liver biopsy.
    19. Platelet count <140,000/mm3.

    24. Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia.
    Los pacientes que cumplan alguno de los siguientes criterios quedarán excluidos.En caso de pacientes que en un principio no cumplan los criterios de selección,se podrá realizar una reselección, a criterio del investigador,para determinar si son aptos para participar.
    2.Uso regular de fármacos asociados a la EHNA, entre otros:amiodarona, metotrexato,glucocorticoides sistémicos superior a 5mg/día,tetraciclinas,tamoxifeno,estrógenos a dosis superiores a las utilizadas en hormonoterapia de reposición o anticoncepción,esteroides anabolizantes,excepto para la restitución de testosterona, ácido valproico y hepatotoxinas conocidas más de 4 semanas en las últimas 8 semanas antes de la selección inicial.
    4.Antecedentes de cirugía bariátrica o de derivación intestinal en los 5 años previos o prevista para su realización durante el estudio.

    9.Presencia de cirrosis definida como fibrosis estadio 4 en la biopsia hepática.
    10.Diagnóstico del carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC).
    13.Hepatopatías crónicas:a.Colangitis biliar primaria.b.Colangitis esclerosante primaria.c.Hepatitis B. d.Hepatitis C(análisis en pacientes con infección conocida por el VHC curada,o con anticuerpos anti-VHC en la selección).Pacientes con anticuerpos anti-VHC negativos en prueba de detección de ARN del VHC podrán participar.En caso de tratamiento previo contra el VHC,se debe disponer de una respuesta virológica sostenida (RVS) y haber alcanzado esta RVS al menos 2 años antes de la biopsia hepática apta.e.Antecedentes/signos de hepatitis autoinmunitaria activa.f.Antecedentes/signos de colangitis biliar primaria.g.Antecedentes/signos de colangitis esclerosante primaria.h.Antecedentes/signos de enfermedad de Wilson.i.Antecedentes/signos de deficiencia de α-1-antitripsina.j.Signos de hemocromatosis.k.Antecedentes/signos de enfermedad hepática inducida por fármacos.l.Obstrucción biliar conocida.
    15.ALT en suero >250 U/l.Debe disponerse de documentación histórica(entre 3semanas y 6meses)de concentraciones de ALT/AST iguales a los valores de ALT/AST de la selección.Esta se establece sobre la base de lo siguiente:
    oSi los valores históricos y de la selección de ALT/AST son ≤1,5 × LSN,no hay límite para la diferencia.
    oSi los valores históricos de ALT/AST son >1,5 × LSN y los valores de ALT/AST en la selección mejoran notablemente(reducción >50 % o normalización),se realizará una 3º determinación de la ALT/AST para garantizar un valor basal estable.
    oSi al menos 1 de los valores es >1,5 × LSN y el 2º valor es mayor que el 1º,la diferencia de ALT/AST debe ser ≤30 %.Si el 2º valor es mayor que el 1º en una cantidad >30 %,se debe determinar un 3º 2 semanas después del segundo para confirmar ausencia de tendencia al empeoramiento en la ALT/AST.Si se confirma tendencia al empeoramiento(3 valores consecutivos con una diferencia del 1º y el 2º >30 % y de >30 % entre el 2º y el 3º),el paciente se contabilizará como fallo de selección.Los pacientes que no tengan evaluaciones históricas de la ALT/AST tendrán que repetir sus análisis de ALT/AST durante selección,con el fin de garantizar que no hay un empeoramiento >30 % (ambas evaluaciones durante el período de selección) con un margen >2 semanas entre las evaluaciones.
    16.Estatinas u otros tratamientos hipolipemiantes,a menos que las dosis hayan sido estables durante 6 semanas antes de la fecha de aleatorización,habiendose tomado por la noche durante 2 semanas antes de la aleatorización;las estatinas permitidas son rosuvastatina 20 mg/día,atorvastatina 40 mg/día,pravastatina 40 mg/día y simvastatina 20 mg/día.Dosis superiores y otras estatinas quedan excluidas.Se permiten dosis estables de secuestradores de ácidos biliares (p. ej., colestiramina [Questran, Prevalite], colestipol [Colestid, Colestid saborizado) y colesevelam [Welchol]) solo si se toman al menos 4 h antes o después de la dosis del fármaco.
