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   44258   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7344   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.

    Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of administration of Empagliflozin in a new treatment for neutropenia in patients with Glycogen Storage Disease type 1b (GSD1b) and G6PC3 deficiency.
    Évaluation de la sécurité et de l'efficacité de l'administration d'Empagliflozine dans un nouveau traitement pour la neutropénie des patients atteints d’une Glycogénose de type 1b (GSD1b) et d’une déficience en G6PC3.
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    Use of an antidiabetic drug (Empagliflozin) to lower the blood level of 1,5-anhydroglucitol in patients deficient in the glucose-6-phosphate transporter (GSD1b) and the phosphatase G6PC3, both of the endoplasmic reticulum, to treat their recurrent infections by normalizing their blood neutrophil counts. Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells in our blood that are essential to help fighting infections. 1,5-anhydroglucitol is a sugar derivative with no known function.
    Evaluation de l’usage d’un antidiabétique (Empagliflozin) pour baisser le niveau de 1,5-anhydroglucitol du sang des patients déficients dans le transporteur du glucose-6-phosphate du réticulum endoplasmique (GSD1b) et de la phosphatase G6PC3 pour traiter leurs infections récurrentes en normalisant le nombre de leurs neutrophiles. Les neutrophiles sont des globules blancs permettant de luter contre les infections. Le 1,5-anhydroglucitol est un polyol sans fonction connue.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    (1) Severe Congenital Neutropenia type 4 (SNC4) due to a deficiency in G6PC3, a phosphatase of the endoplasmic also known a Ubiquitous glucose-6-phosphatase and (2) the neutropenia in Glycogen Storage Disease type 1b due to a deficiency in the glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT / SLC37A4) of the endoplasmic reticulum.
    (1) Neutropénie Sévère Congénitale de type 4 due à la déficience en G6PC3, une phosphatase du réticulum endoplasmique aussi connu comme la glucose-6-phosphatase ubiquiste et (2) la neutropénie dans la Glycogénose de type 1b due a une déficience dans le transporteur de glucose-6-phosphate (G6PT / SLC37A4) du réticulum endoplasmique.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    This study treats the neutropenia of patients deficient in glucose-6-phosphate transporter (GSD1b) and those that are deficient in G6PC3 and thus aims at reducing their number of infectious episodes.
    Cette étude traite la neutropénie des patients déficients en transporteur glucose-6-phosphate (GSD1b) et ceux déficients en G6PC3 et est centrée sur la baisse du nombre de leurs épisodes infectieux.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Ubiquitous glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency (G6PC3) and glucose-6-phosphate transporter deficiency (G6PT / SLC37A4) both cause neutropenia. The purpose of our trial is to test the effect of the effectiveness of Empagliflozin on the urinary excretion and elimination of 1,5-anhydroglucitol from the blood in patients with G6PT deficiency (GSD Ib) and those who are deficient in G6PC3. This should allow patients to significantly lower the level of the toxic compound 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate, that we found to accumulate in their neutrophils, and thereby treat their neutropenia. Empagliflozin (marketed in Belgium as Jardiance®) belongs to the class of drugs known as oral hypoglycemic agents. This project is the outcome of the work from researchers and doctors looking after these patients to translate the results from fundamental research, to be soon published in PNAS (Veiga-da-Cunha et al.), into a clinical trial that will very likely benefit the patients.
    Le déficit en glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC3) et en transporteur de glucose-6-phosphate (G6PT / SLC37A4) du reticulum endoplasmique entraînent tous deux une neutropénie. Le but de notre essai clinique est de tester l'effet de l'efficacité de l'Empagliflozine sur l'excrétion urinaire et l'élimination du 1,5-anhydroglucitol du sang chez des patients présentant un déficit en G6PT (GSD Ib) ou en G6PC3. Cela devrait permettre aux patients de réduire considérablement le niveau du composé toxique, le 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate, que nous avons constaté s’accumule dans leurs neutrophiles, et ainsi guérir leur neutropénie. L'empagliflozine (Jardiance®) appartient à la classe des médicaments appelés agents hypoglycémiants oraux. Ce projet est l'aboutissement de travaux de chercheurs et de médecins s'occupant de ces patients, à paraître dans PNAS (Veiga-da-Cunha et al.), le but est de les traduire en un essai clinique qui bénéficiera très probablement à ces patients.
