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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the trial was to assess the change in levels of dystrophin in ambulatory participants with nonsense mutation Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (nmDMD) after treatment with ataluren for 40 weeks using quantitative assay, such as electrochemiluminescence (ECL).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki (revised version of Edinburgh, Scotland, 2000) and in conformance with the International Council on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidance documents.

    End point description
    The percent change in dystrophin level from baseline in ambulatory nonsense mutation duchenne muscular dystrophy (nmDMD) participants after treatment with ataluren for 40 weeks was analyzed using quantitative assay (ECL).The least square (LS) mean and 90% confidence interval (CI) were analyzed from a mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) with factors of muscle locations and visits as fixed effects, and participants as a random effect. Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all enrolled participants with a valid assessment of dystrophin level at baseline, as measured by ECL.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Oct 2018
    The changes implemented with this amendment are: - Text was added in objectives to clarify that secondary and exploratory objective assessments and endpoints will be collected after 40 weeks of ataluren treatment. An exploratory objective was added to evaluate pharmacokinetics of ataluren at 40 weeks of treatment. - Text was added in endpoints to clarify that exploratory endpoints will be collected after 40 weeks of ataluren treatment. An exploratory endpoint was added to evaluate pharmacokinetics of ataluren at Week 1 and Week 40 of ataluren of treatment. - The age of participants that will be included from the study was increased to >2 and <8 years of age from <7 years of age to increase study enrollment. - Removed that phenotypic evidence of DMD must be evident by 6 years of age. - Pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling was added for pharmacokinetic evaluation. For Visit 1, samples will be drawn pre-first study dose and 2 hours postdose, and on Visit 3 will be drawn pre-morning dose and 2 hours postdose. - Visit 2 was changed from Week 19 to Week 20. - The location of the biopsies was changed from right vastus lateralis and right tibialis anterior muscles to the biceps and gastrocnemius muscles. If the bicep muscle is considered by the investigator to be too small for a biopsy sample, the right tibialis anterior muscle may be used. - The text was revised from 9-month treatment period to a 40-week treatment period.
    06 May 2019
    The changes implemented with this amendment are: - Exploratory endpoints: deleted specific PK parameters. - Revised from 3 muscle biopsy samples to up to approximately 450 mg of muscle tissue (up to 4 cores per muscle); allowed sample from the right tibialis anterior muscle if obtained sample is not evaluable for analysis. - Extended screening window from 30 to 45 days; added details for assessing height/weight and physical exams, deleted details of PK analyses. - Added information on Cardiac Drugs for Cardiomyopathy Prophylaxis/Treatment.
