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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    to assess the safety of abatacept for patients with cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) insufficiency or lipopolysaccharide-responsive and beige-like anchor protein (LRBA) deficiency
    Protection of trial subjects
    The investigator was responsible for ensuring that the study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki as well as with the national laws and guidelines for the clinical testing of drugs. Before enrolment in the clinical trial, the patient was informed that participation in the clinical trial is voluntary and that he/she may withdraw from the clinical trial at any time without having to give reasons and without penalty or loss of benefits to which the patient is otherwise entitled.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Overall, 24 patients gave their informed consent for study participation. From these, 4 patients were screening failures, i.e. did not met the inclusion/exclusion criteria and were not treated with the study medication. For the other 20 patients, treatment with abatacept as part of the study was approved. Of those, 16 patients completed the study per protocol.

    End point description
    Number of episodes of failed infection control under therapy with abatacept during the trial period of one year. An episode of failed infection control was defined as a severe infection, defined as a. Infections requiring hospitalization, OR b. Infectious requiring intravenous antibiotic, anti-fungal or anti-viral treatment, OR/AND c. EBV reactivation (≥ 5.000 IU/ml) or CMV viral load ≥ 1.000 IU/ml.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Single arm trial. The number of episodes of failed infection control during the trial period of one year is calculated as an annual incidence rate, and is presented with a two-sided 95% CI.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    31 Mar 2020
    Implemented changes during initial approval process according to CA requirements: • In section 4.3, page 34 the wording of the exclusion criterion No. 21 has been adapted according to the CTFG paper, section 4.1 „Birth control methods which may be considered as highly effective“. The methods „vasectomised partner“ and „sexual abstinence“ seem not feasible to us in this clinical trial. The request to use appropriate contraceptive measures at least up to 14 weeks after the last dose of abatacept has been included in section 4.3. • In section 4.3, page 35 the definition according to the CTFG paper has been included. In section 19, page 74 the CTFG paper has been added to the list of references. In the complete Clinical Trial Protocol the wording „women in reproductive age“ has been replaced by „women of child bearing potential“. • In section 1.4, page 27 we have added further information based on unpublished data of patients with CTLA4 insufficiency treated with abatacept on local compassionate use programs.
    21 Apr 2020
    • In the synopsis, page 14 as well as in section 4.3, page 35 the exclusion criteria 8 and 9 have been changed to an overall exclusion criterion no. 8: any malignancies within the last 4 years. • In section 13.5.5, page 68 the term “treatment failure rate” was precised: defined as the number of treatment failures divided by the number of patients receiving abatacept • In section 15.3, page 70 the patients´ agreement during the informed consent procedure to “codified (“pseudonymised”) transmission to the members of the GAIN network” was deleted.
    19 Oct 2020
    - Change of LKP - elongation of screening period - Corrected: abdominal lymph nodes are measured by ultrasonography not by palpation. - Bodyplethysmography is performed for all patients during screening period to evaluate the inclusion criteria for lung involvement (in V 2.0 only for patients with lung involvement). During course of study the examination is performed only for patients with lung involvement. - Borg Dyspnoe Scala is performed for all patients (in V 2.0 only for patients with lung involvement) to check possible changes of lung function during course of study. - Completion of patient questionnaires SF36, SGRQ, IBDQ is shifted from screening to baseline visit, because this is the time point directly before application of first trial medication. - Assessment based on NANO Scale is performed for all patients during screening period to evaluate possible neurological impairment (in V 2.0 only for patients with CNS involvement). During course of study the examination is performed only for patients with CNS involvement. - Examination of skin is performed for all patients during all onsite visits to evaluate possible skin involvement (in V 2.0 only for patients with skin involvement). - Incorrect unit - Elongation of period between stopping rituximab therapy and inclusion into trial adapted according to half-life period of rituximab. - The exclusion criterion No 5 was splitted - Definition of a lag period between stopping prophylactic CMV treatment and inclusion into the trial - Decision for treatment with abatacept already was done before inclusion into the trial.
    23 Jul 2021
    - change of LKP - Adaptation to current trial status - The secondary endpoints for patients with involvement of immune system do not reflect the parameters used in the CHAI-Morbidity-Score for the Immune System. The endpoints have been adapted accordingly. - Implementation of further secondary endpoints (safety). - Inclusion criteria do not reflect the parameters used in the CHAI-Morbidity-Score for the Immune System. The inclusion criteria have been adapted accordingly. - Adaption of exclusion criteria - Addition of mandatory concomitant medication - Adaption of secondary endpoints
