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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study KH176-202 was conducted at 4 Investigational sites (the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Denmark). 50 unique patients were screened and signed informed consent. A total of 23 unique subjects were screening failures and 27 subjects were randomized over 3 treatment sequences.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Males and females aged 18 years or older with a confirmed m.3243A>G mutation and with clinical signs and disease severity of mitochondrial disease as demonstrated by an NMDAS score of >10, including attentional dysfunction, defined as a Cogstate Identification Test (IDN) score of ≥0.5 standard deviations poorer than healty controls

    Blinding implementation details
    The treatment (sequence) that was assigned to the randomization treatment numbers was blinded to the study team. Treatment blind was maintained by the use of identically packaged active and placebo medications, which fully matched visually, and which could not be distinguished by taste, odor or touch either. Treatments remained blinded until the issuing of a final statement confirming that all data had been collected, verified, and stored in a locked database.

    Changes from baseline at Day 28 in the attention domain score of cognitive functioning: Identification Test (IDN)
    End point description
    Visual Identification Test (IDN) of the Cogstate computerized cognitive testing battery was used to evaluate the effect of KH176 during a 4-week treatment period on the attention domain score of cognitive functioning. Changes from baseline (measured at pre-dose Day 1) to end of treatment (Day 28 of each treatment period) in the attention domain score of cognitive functioning are measured. The Identification Test (IDN) is a measure of visual attention and uses a well-validated choice reaction time paradigm with playing card stimuli. In this test, the playing cards are all either red or black jokers. The subject is asked whether the card displayed in the centre of the screen is red. The subject responds by pressing the Yes key when the joker card is red and No when it is black. The software measures the speed and accuracy of each response

    Changes from baseline at day 28 in the following domains of cognitive functioning: 1. Executive functioning: Groton Maze Learning (GML).
    End point description
    Measure of problem solving and reasoning and uses a well-validated maze learning paradigm. The subject is shown a 10 × 10 grid of boxes on a computer screen. A 28-step pathway is hidden among these 100 possible locations. Each box represents move locations, and the grid refers to the box array (i.e., 10 × 10). Subjects are required to find the hidden pathway guided by four search rules. These rules are: do not move diagonally, do not move more than one box, do not move back on the pathway, and return to the last correct location after an error. At each step only the most recently selected box is shown. Feedback is given with visual and auditory cues (green check marks and red crosses) to indicate whether the selected box is correct or incorrect. The head of path, or the last correct location, flashes with a green check when two errors are made in succession to indicate to the subject that they must return to this location. There are 21 well-matched alternate pathways

    End point description
    The One Back test is a measure of working memory and uses a well-validated n-back paradigm with playing card stimuli. In this test, the playing cards are identical to those found in a standard deck of 52 playing cards (without the joker cards). The subject is asked whether the card displayed in the centre of the screen is the same as the card presented immediately previously. The subject responds by pressing the Yes or No key. Because no card has been presented yet on the first study, a correct first response is always No. The software measures the speed and accuracy of each response.

    Changes from baseline at day 28 in the following domains of cognitive functioning: 4. Visual learning: One Card Learning Test (OCL)
    End point description
    The One Card Learning Test is a measure of visual learning and uses a well-validated pattern separation paradigm with playing card stimuli. In this test, the playing cards are identical to those found in a standard deck of 52 playing cards (without the joker cards). The subject is asked whether the card displayed in the centre of the screen was seen previously in this test. The subject responds by pressing the Yes or No key. The software measures the speed and accuracy of each response.

    Changes from baseline at day 28 in the following domains of cognitive functioning: 5. Verbal learning: International Shopping List (ISL)
    End point description
    The International Shopping List test is a measure of verbal learning and uses a well-validated list-learning paradigm. High frequencies, high imagery, concrete nouns (items from a shopping list) are read to the subject by the test supervisor at the rate of one word every two seconds. Once all words have been read, the subject is asked to recall as many of the words as he/she can as quickly as possible. The test supervisor uses a mouse to mark the words recalled by the subject on the computer screen. When the subject can recall no more words, the same list is read a second time. The test supervisor records the words recalled by the subject on this study. This is then repeated a third time. The software measures the number of correct responses as recorded by the test supervisor.

    Changes from baseline at day 28 in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI): Total score
    End point description
    The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory, for measuring the severity of depression. It is composed of items relating to symptoms of depression such as hopelessness and irritability, cognitions such as guilt or feelings of being punished, as well as physical symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, and lack of interest in sex. Each answer is scored on a scale value of 0 to 3; higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms. The total score can thus range from 0 to 63. The BDI can be divided into subscales, ie, BDI-Affective (BDI-A), BDI-Cognitive (BDI-C), and BDI-Somatic (BDI-S). A BDI total score of more than 10 points was considered as affected (Kendall 1987). For BDI-A, BDI-C and BDI-S these cut-off values are >0.9, >1.4, and >4 respectively (Beck 2002).

    Changes from Baseline at Day 28 in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS): Total score
    End point description
    The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a subject-reported outcome measure and comprises 14 items equally divided over the two subscales anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D). HADS-A includes items such as tension, worry, fear, panic, difficulties in relaxing, and restlessness, HADS-D includes items predominantly measuring anhedonia (not experiencing joy). Respondents indicate how they currently feel, rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating higher severity. The ratings of the 14 items are summed to yield a total score (0 to 42), or for each subscale separately (0 to 21).

    End point description
    The 40-item University of Penn Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) is a measurement of the individual's ability to detect odors at a suprathreshold level. The test consists of 4 different 10 page booklets, with a total of 40 questions. On each page, there is a different "scratch and sniff" strip which are embedded with a microencapsulated odorant. There is also a four choice multiple choice question on each page. The scents are released using a pencil. After each scent is released, the subject smells the level and detects the odor from the four choices. There is an answer column on the back of the test booklet, and the test is scored out of 40 items.

    The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory, for measuring the severity of depression. It is composed of items relating to symptoms of depression such as hopelessness and irritability, cognitions such as guilt or feelings of being punished, as well as physical symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, and lack of interest in sex. Each answer is scored on a scale value of 0 to 3; higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms. The total score can thus range from 0 to 63.

Each answer is scored on a scale value of 0 to 3; higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms. The total score can thus range from 0 to 63. The BDI can be divided into subscales, ie, BDI-Affective (BDI-A), BDI-Cognitive (BDI-C), and BDI-Somatic (BDI-S). A BDI total score of more than 10 points was considered as affected (Kendall 1987). For BDI-A, BDI-C and BDI-S these cut-off values are >0.9, >1.4, and >4 respectively (Beck 2002).

    The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a subject-reported outcome measure and comprises 14 items equally divided over the two subscales anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D). HADS-A includes items such as tension, worry, fear, panic, difficulties in relaxing, and restlessness, HADS-D includes items predominantly measuring anhedonia (not experiencing joy). Respondents indicate how they currently feel, rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating higher severity. The ratings of the 14 items are summed to yield a total score (0 to 42), or for each subscale separately (0 to 21).

The rating scale encompasses all aspects of mitochondrial disease by exploring several domains: • Section I, Current function, consists of vision; hearing; speech; swallowing; handwriting; cutting food and handling utensils; dressing; hygiene; exercise; gait stability. • Section II, System-specific involvement, (input from the subject and clinical judgment) and encompasses psychiatric; migraine headaches; seizures; stroke-like episodes; encephalopathic episodes; gastro-intestinal symptoms, diabetes mellitus; respiratory weakness; cardiovascular system. • Section III, Current clinical assessment, is based on the clinician’s assessment. It includes visual acuity; ptosis; chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia; dysphonia/dysarthria; myopathy; cerebellar ataxia; neuropathy; pyramidal; extrapyramidal; cognition

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Dec 2019
    Protocol version 1.1 (NL only): Section 1.4 ‘KH176’: updated to include a summary of the results of the assessment of the phototoxicity potential of KH176 (by determining the UV-Vis spectrum for KH176 and its metabolite KH183 in methanol. The assessment showed that KH183 is not considered photoreactive.
    23 Jan 2020
    Protocol version 2.0 (GER, UK): • Thyroid sonography included as safety assessment preceding the first Treatment Period and at Follow Up visit Requested by German Ethics Committee. • Inclusion criteria #11: More stringent contraceptive measures for male and female subjects Requested by German (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte [BfArM]) and United Kingdom (MHRA) Health Authorities. • Exclusion criteria #2: Specification of prior treatment with an Investigational Product Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Exclusion criteria #5: Addition of threshold values for blood pressure, and renal and hepatic laboratory parameters. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Exclusion criteria #15: Specification of prior and concomitant use of disallowed medications and supplements Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM) and Dutch Ethics Committee. • Pregnancy test included as Follow Up visit assessment Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Section 1.4 ‘KH176’: Assessment of and guidance on phototoxicity potential included. Requested by United Kingdom Health Authority (MHRA). • Section 1.5.4 ‘KH176 Dose Justification’: Specification of the concomitant use of CYP3A4 and PGP inhibitors. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Section 4.3.5 ‘Premature Termination or Suspension of Study’: Specification of criteria for (premature) termination or suspension of study Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Section 4.5.3 ‘Emergency Procedure for Unblinding’: Procedure updated to remove requirement of sponsor contact Requested by United Kingdom Health Authority (MHRA). • Section 6.3.7.2 ‘Clinical Chemistry’: Addition of lipase to clinical chemistry panel Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM).
    04 Mar 2020
    Protocol version 2.0 (Local amendment: NL only): • Inclusion criterion #11: More stringent contraceptive measures for male and female subjects. Requested by German (BfArM) and United Kingdom (MHRA) Health Authorities. • Exclusion criterion #2: Specification of prior treatment with an Investigational Product. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Exclusion criterion #5: Addition of threshold values for blood pressure, and renal and hepatic laboratory parameters. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Exclusion criterion #15: Specification of prior and concomitant use of disallowed medications and supplements. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM) and Dutch Ethics Committee. • Schedule of Assessments: Pregnancy test included as Follow Up visit assessment. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Section 1.5.4 ‘KH176 Dose Justification’: Specification of the concomitant use of CYP3A4 and PGP inhibitors. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Section 4.3.5 ‘Premature Termination or Suspension of the Study’: Specification of criteria for (premature) termination or suspension of study. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM). • Section 6.3.7.2 ‘Clinical Chemistry’: Addition of lipase to clinical chemistry panel Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM).
    15 Oct 2020
    Protocol version 3.0 (Local amendment NL): Protocol version 3.0 (UK, Ger), issued 15 October 2020: • Exclusion criterion #4: Adapted: Further specification of exclusion criterion.• Exclusion criterion #6: Addition of gender specific QTc exclusion thresholds. Normal values for QTc differ between males and females. • Additional exclusion criterion #15: KH176 is an antagonist of the NMDA1A/2B receptor and for other NMDA (1A/2B) antagonists dissociative effects (leading to abuse potential) and other CNS AEs were reported. Therefore, subjects with a history of abuse potential are excluded and subjects will be cautioned against driving or working in situations where alertness and adequate motor coordination are important when they notice adverse CNS effects. • Exclusion criterion #16e: Adapted; subjects using drugs known to prolong QTc interval who have a normal QTc value will not be excluded. If despite use of potentially QTcprolonging drugs patients have a normal QTc interval, there is no increased risk for torsades de pointes. Also, synergism of two potentially QT-prolonging drugs is not expected: currently, there are no data available suggesting the possibility of a more pronounced QTc prolongation by KH176 if the patient is taking any medication expected to affect cardiac repolarization. • Section 1.4 ‘KH176’: o Summary of additional data from receptor binding assay on NMDAR (1A/2B) blocker/antagonism: in a recent receptor binding assay, KH176 was found to be a NMDAR (1A/2B) blocker/antagonist with an half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 7.4 uM. o Summary of additional data on anti-inflammatory properties of KH183, and (the absence of) NMDAR (1A/2B) blocker/antagonism of KH183. o Additional text to further clarify occurrence of (TE)AEs. o Additional text further clarifying the reported dissociative TEAEs. o Additional explanation/specification of ‘cardiac electrophysiology’.
    19 Mar 2021
    Protocol version 5.0 (Ger, UK): • Additional site in Denmark: Dr John Vissing, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen. • Section 3.2.3 ‘Treatment periods’: Visit window increased for D28 (treatment periods 1 to 3): +/- 1 day. • Inclusion criterion #11: additional details and more stringent contraceptive measures with regards to hormonal contraception, vasectomy and sexual abstinence. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM) for the KHENEREXT study and according to the Clinical Trials Facilitation Group recommendations. • Section 4.3.1 ‘Discontinuation of Study Medication’: Clarification of the discontinuation criteria for the case of abnormal ECG and in case a pregnancy is diagnosed (subjects must be discontinued). Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM) for the KHENEREXT study. • Section 4.3.4 ‘End of Study Definition’: Clarification of the end of study definition as Last Patient Last Visit. Requested by German Health Authority (BfArM) for the KHENEREXT study.
