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.

    Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [1]
    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug, & which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable & unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of medicinal product (MP) whether or not considered related to MP. An AE is considered “serious” if it results in death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, results in congenital anomaly or birth defect, requires inpatient hospitalization or leads to prolongation of hospitalization, hospitalization for treatment/observation/examination caused by AE is to be considered as serious, discontinuation due to increases in liver enzymes, other medically important events. A TEAE is defined as an AE observed after starting administration of study drug & 21 days after the last dose of study drug.

    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A TEAE is defined as an AE observed after starting administration of the study drug and 21 days after the last dose of study drug. Severity of AE we were classified as Mild: No disruption of normal daily activities; Moderate: Affect normal daily activities; and Severe: Inability to perform daily activities.

    Change From Baseline in Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) at Hip at Week 52
    End point description
    TBS was a bone texture assessment that serves as a substitute for bone microarchitecture and predicts fracture risk independent of BMD and clinical risk factors. The DXA imaging was processed and analyzed as it would normally be and then evaluated using an automated algorithm to determine the TBS. T-score ≥1.350 was considered to be normal; T-score between 1.200 and 1.350 is considered to be consistent with partially degraded microarchitecture; and T-score ≤1.200 defines degraded microarchitecture.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 May 2019
    The changes included: A fezolinetant 45 mg treatment group was added for a total of 3 treatment groups. A fezolinetant 15 mg tablet was added for subjects in the 45 mg dose group. The randomization schema was updated to a 1:1:1 ratio (fezolinetant 45 mg: fezolinetant 30 mg: placebo). The number of subjects enrolled was updated to 1149 (383 subjects per treatment group). • The schedule of assessments was updated to include a mammogram at week 52/end of treatment/early discontinuation and an endometrial biopsy following study discontinuation. Further details were provided regarding the circumstances under which these procedures were performed. • The screening serology panel was updated to include testing for antibody against hepatitis B antigen and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen. • The schedule of assessments was updated to include an additional study visit (2b) at week 2. • The schedule of assessments and pharmacokinetics assessment sections were updated to include the addition of blood draws for pharmacokinetic analysis in subjects with a signal of elevated transaminases who were returning for a repeat hepatic abnormality testing blood draw. • The primary objective was reworded “to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of fezolinetant,” rather than “the effect of fezolinetant on long-term safety and tolerability.” • The dose rationale was updated with additional information about Study ESN364_HF_205 and results regarding the potential for drug-induced liver injury. • The length of time prior to screening in which a normal/negative or not clinically significant mammogram may have been performed was increased to within 12 months of trial enrollment. • Details were added for the reporting of drug-induced liver damage and it was clarified that such events were to be characterized as SAEs.
    15 Jun 2020
    The changes included: The evaluation of the effect of fezolinetant on endometrial health was moved from the secondary objective of the study to the primary objective of the study. • The endometrial health analysis set was added to the protocol for analysis of endometrial health-related endpoints. This set was defined as having 1 year of evaluable biopsy results. • The planned number of subjects was increased to 1740, with approximately 580 subjects randomized to each treatment group. The sample size justification was updated and the table in Section 7.1, Sample Size, showing the probability of observing 1 or more events and 2 or more events for different background event rate was updated to include the probability of observing 3 or more events for different background event rate. • The percentages of subjects with endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer were moved from secondary to primary endpoints. The percentage of subjects with disordered proliferative endometrium was added as a secondary endpoint. It was noted that the rates of endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer and disordered proliferative endometrium were evaluated separately. • Inclusion criterion No. 4 was updated to remove with or without hysterectomy from the bilateral oophorectomy screening criteria. Inclusion criteria No. 8 and No. 10 were aligned to account for the exclusion of subjects who had had a hysterectomy. Inclusion criterion No. 9 was updated to specify that the endometrial biopsy obtained at screening had to be considered evaluable; this criterion was now required for all subjects.
    15 Jun 2020
    • Alternate measures that could be implemented due to site closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic were added to the protocol. These include telemedicine conferences (by telephone), home healthcare services, and laboratory assessments performed at local laboratories. It was noted that subjects who screen failed due to a COVID-19 pandemic study suspension and had an evaluable endometrial biopsy were not required to have a repeat biopsy if they rescreen. • Exclusion criteria No. 6 and No. 7 were updated so that they applied to all subjects, not just subjects with a uterus, and the exception for endometrial thickness less than 4 mm was removed from exclusion criterion No. 7. Exclusion criterion No. 20 was added to exclude subjects who had had partial or full hysterectomies. • Language was added to specify that the screening endometrial biopsy had to be evaluable. Retest biopsies could only be performed for insufficient material or unevaluable biopsies and a maximum of 1 retest biopsy during screening was allowed. It was noted that subjects were allowed into the study based on the primary endometrial result/diagnosis, but a second and tertiary diagnosis was also to be reported. • AEs of abuse liability, depression, wakefulness and effect on memory were added to the protocol as AEs of special interest. AEs of liver test elevation were clarified. • Category 2 results of secondary or tertiary screening endometrial biopsy diagnosis were added to the list of reasons for subject discontinuation. • Other minor text adjustments were made.
