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   44356   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7382   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 evaluate the efficacy of bulevirtide administered subcutaneously for 48 weeks at a dose of 2 mg or 10 mg once daily for treatment of chronic hepatitis delta in comparison to delayed treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and consent/assent forms were submitted by each investigator to a duly constituted Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review and approval before study initiation. All revisions to the consent/assent forms (if applicable) after initial IEC/IRB approval were submitted by the investigator to the IEC/IRB for review and approval before implementation in accordance with regulatory requirements. This study was conducted in accordance with recognized international scientific and ethical standards, including but not limited to the International Conference on Harmonization guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) and the original principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study drug and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study drug. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not related to the study drug. Analysis Population Description : Participants in the SAS were analyzed. The SAS included all participants who were randomized into the study and took at least 1 dose of BLV study drug, or who were randomized to the delayed treatment group. Participants were grouped according to actual treatment received for time points Week 0 to 144. The arm titles and descriptions in this outcome measure are entered accordingly.

Exclusion Criteria Updates: Child-Pugh hepatic insufficiency >7 (uncomplicated esophageal varices allowed; exclude current/history of bleeding/ligation within 2 yrs). HCV/uncontrolled HIV coinfection: HCV Ab+ OK if HCV RNA negative. HIV+ OK if CD4 >500/mL & HIV RNA undetectable >12 mos. Uncontrolled arterial hypertension within 3 months pre-study (SBP >150 or DBP >100 mmHg despite treatment) allowed post-Study Medical Monitor confirmation. Current/previous (within last 2 yrs) decompensated liver disease (incl. coagulopathy, hepatic encephalopathy, esophageal varices hemorrhage). History of regular systemic glucocorticosteroid use (inhalative allowed). Participation in other investigational drug studies within 30 days pre-randomization. Prior bulevirtide receipt (incl. clinical trials). New/Revised Sections: Treatment Compliance section added. Prohibited treatments: Confirmed inhalative glucocorticosteroids allowed. Physical Examination: Added assessment of local injection site reactions (per Table 1; record in eCRF; AE if clinically significant). New section on Local bulevirtide injection site reactions.

    The major update(s) to the protocol and related rationale are as follows: An additional Phase 2 treatment arm was added that includes zimberelimab to allow the assessment of the efficacy and safety of magrolimab in combination with pembrolizumab +platinum + 5-FU (Cohort 1 Arm A) versus pembrolizumab + platinum + 5-FU (Cohort 1 Arm B) versus zimberelimab + platinum + 5-FU (Cohort 1 Arm C). Arm C was added to provide a comparison of zimberelimab with pembrolizumab in combination with magrolimab and chemotherapeutics in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

    A Week 180 visit was added with additional assessments to allow a more standardized approach for study investigators to monitor and manage posttreatment hepatitis exacerbation. Updated the definition of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) undetectable” to “< lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), target not detected.” To identify and monitor participants at risk of developing a hepatitis flare, specific procedures were added for the management of posttreatment exacerbation of hepatitis, ie, if laboratory results indicated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations. An optional third liver biopsy was added to the list of assessments. The timing of an exploratory analysis was changed from Week 168 to Week 192. Clarified details of adverse event (AE)/serious AE reporting procedures period and liver-related clinical events. Addition of Appendix 2 (Monitoring Study Participants for Posttreatment ALT Elevation: Flowchart) and Appendix 3 (Unscheduled Visit for Management of posttreatment ALT Elevations). Definition of Per Protocol Analysis Set was updated Updated the word ‘Subject’ to ‘Participants’ and other style-related changes included where possible.
