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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of this study was to assess the effects of once daily (QD) dosing with rhIGF-1 in increasing height velocity in prepubertal subjects with growth failure associated with primary insulin-like growth factor deficiency (IGFD).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice, as set out in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 21 CFR paragraphs 50 and 312.60. International Conference on Harmonisation E6, (1996), the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki (revised Edinburgh, 2000), and applicable national and local regulatory requirements. In this pediatric trial, the Investigator or his/her delegate obtained written informed consent signed by each subject’s parent or a duly authorized representative prior to conducting any protocol-related activity.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    First subject screened: 12 January 2005. Last subject completed: 14 January 2009. 12 investigators screened subjects, 1 did not enroll any subjects. 89 subjects were screened, 41 were ineligible, 3 declined treatment and 45 were treated and analyzed.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screening consisted of two-staged clinic visits for up to 6 weeks, and included the following evaluations: medical history, complete physical examination, measurements of serum IGF-1 and IGF-1 binding proteins (IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-3), growth hormone (GH) binding protein, acid-labile subunit (ALS), GH stimulation test.

    Height Velocity Over the Study Period Pretreatment (Week 0) - 34 Weeks: Intent to Treat (ITT) Population [1]
    End point description
    Height was measured standing without shoes as the average of three measurements by the same observer using identical technique with a Harpenden or other wall mounted stadiometer. The subject was repositioned between each measurement. The ITT principle was used for the primary analysis, with imputation of missing height velocity and missing height SD score. Height velocity during an interval of time is defined as the change in height during the time interval divided by the duration of the time interval.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Nov 2004
    The text describing the hypothesis of non-inferiority was rewritten, using standard statistical terms. Text was amended to clarify that GH was a required test at Visit 2 (screening visit) for all subjects, regardless of whether a prior GH stimulation test had been performed. Text was corrected to indicate that both IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 serial sampling were to be performed at Visit 8. The number of subjects required to be screened to achieve the target sample size was revised, based on a lower estimate of the potential drop-out rate. Because GH stimulation tests results are not age-dependent, the restriction that a prior GH stimulation test must have been performed in the past 4 months was removed. Because a 4-month height velocity cannot accurately predict subsequent growth rates, nor is helpful in identifying subjects who can benefit from rhIGF-1 therapy, the 4-month height velocity eligibility criterion was dropped. The phrase, “suspected deletion of the GH gene” was removed from exclusion criterion #1 because it was redundant. The Week 34 visit window was changed to allow for greater flexibility in scheduling. The language regarding statistical case 4 (“non-inferiority test is not significant for either IGF-1 SD score or change in height SD score”) was edited for clarity.
    20 May 2005
    The twice-daily (BID) arm was removed from study design and all subjects received QD dosing with rhIGF-1. To affect an overall mean 24-hour serum IGF-1 SD score closer to intended average of +1, IGF-1 target concentration at sampling times was changed to 1.4 times concentration corresponding to a mean 24-hour SD score of +1. The word “randomized” was deleted from the study title. The study objective regarding BID dosing was deleted. The study objective regarding QD dosing was changed. The number of subjects treated was changed from 90 to 45, reflecting removal of the BID treatment arm. The chronological age eligibility criterion was expanded, and a bone age eligibility criterion was added. A change to the eligibility of subjects with chronic illness was made to allow consideration of enrollment of subjects with chronic illnesses whose condition or medication did not increase risk to subject or the integrity of study. The rhIGF-1 dosing rules were changed from a computation based on the subject’s age at randomization to a computation based on a target IGF-1 concentration that more closely approaches the SD score value of +1. The rhIGF-1 dosing instructions were revised to require that rhIGF-1 be taken in the morning, within 30 minutes of breakfast. The starting dose of rhIGF-1 was changed from 40 mcg/kg to 60 mcg/kg to allow the target serum IGF-1 level to be reached more efficiently and to ensure that physiological replacement levels of IGF-1 are maintained for a longer period of time during the study. Explanatory text was added advising that if the morning rhIGF-1 dose has not been taken on Visit days, the Visit must be rescheduled. This was necessary because without rhIGF-1 administration, IGF-1 levels would be low, leading to an unwarranted rhIGF-1 dose increase. The estimated total number of subjects to be screened at Visit 1 was changed from 205 to 100, and the total estimated number of subjects screened at Visit 2 was changed from 135 to 67.
    30 Jan 2006
    The treatment period was extended by 12 months (to Week 86). Screening rules were changed to allow prior IGF-1 test results to be averaged with Visit 1 screening results in fulfilment of screening criteria. Screening rules were changed to allow Visit 2 and Visit 3 screening tests to be combined, if all eligibility criteria are were met. An additional safety and efficacy analysis point was added at the end of the extension period (at Week 86). Funduscopic examination was added as a safety endpoint. Urine pregnancy test was added for post-menarchal female subjects. Pregnancy was added as a criterion for removal of a subject from the study. Instructions regarding timing of rhIGF-1 dose administration was changed from “within 30 minutes of a meal or snack” to “shortly before or after (+ 20 minutes) a meal or snack”. The text regarding FDA approval of rhIGF-1 (Increlex) for the long-term treatment for growth failure in children with severe primary IGFD was updated.
    01 Feb 2007
    The serum IGF-1 SD score adjustment target was raised from +1 to +2. The maximum permitted QD dose of rhIGF-1 was changed from 160 mcg/kg to 240 mcg/kg. The serum IGF-1 concentration target for each subject was modified at each visit to keep targets commensurate with the subjects’ chronological age.
