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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    To evaluate the efficacy of efgartigimod compared to placebo in achieving a sustained platelet count response in subjects with primary chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), with a sustained platelet count response defined as platelet counts of at least 50×10^9/L for at least 4 of the 6 visits between weeks 19 and 24 of the trial.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted according to the ICH GCP, the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and other applicable local ethical and legal requirements.
    Background therapy
    Subjects receiving at least 1 permitted concurrent ITP therapy were eligible for the trial (if the dose and schedule have remained unchanged in the last 4 weeks before randomisation).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    During the screening period (up to 2 weeks) the subject’s eligibility for trial participation was evaluated. A total of 205 subjects were screened, of which 74 subjects were screen failures. 131 of 205 were enrolled and randomised at a ratio of 2:1 to receive efgartigimod or placebo.

    Incidence of WHO-Classified Bleeding Events (WHO Bleeding Scale ≥ 1) in the Overall Population
    End point description
    Incidence of the World Health Organization (WHO)-classified bleeding events in the overall population. Analysis was performed on Full Analysis Set population that included all randomised subjects. This secondary endpoint used the WHO-classified bleeding scale. Bleeding was the predominant clinical manifestation of ITP and was typically related to platelet count. Accordingly, measuring bleeding was important for monitoring this subject population. The WHO bleeding scale was neither specific to nor validated for ITP, but had been implemented in ITP clinical studies; no specific and validated tools for assessing bleeding in ITP were available.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    09 Sep 2019
    Amendment 1: The eligibility criteria were changed from 1 prior therapy to 2 prior therapies. The eligibility criteria were updated to specify highly effective methods of contraception per Clinical Trials Facilitation and Coordination Group recommendations (part of the Heads of Medicines Agencies). The conditions for (temporarily) withholding treatment, early discontinuation from the study, and early discontinuation from treatment were updated. The determination of the sample size, the primary endpoint analysis, and the key secondary endpoint analysis subject to alpha control were updated. A key secondary efficacy endpoint subject to alpha control was added. Japan-specific eligibility criteria were removed in lieu of a separate Japan-specific protocol.
    18 Sep 2019
    Amendment 2: The protocol was aligned with ICH E2A guideline and the categories of seriousness on the sponsor’s SAE report form.
    27 May 2020
    Amendment 3: The postbaseline platelet count measurement was permitted within 1 day of the next procedure, for more flexibility. Fostamatinib was added as a permitted concurrent ITP medication upon its regulatory approval as ITP therapy. Eltrombopag was replaced with “oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA)” to consider all TPO-RAs. An eligibility criterion was added regarding live/live-attenuated vaccines, as a preventive protection measure for participants. The key secondary endpoint analysis subject to alpha control and the determinations of sample size were updated to allow data from participants who met the definition of disease control during the study but who subsequently did not meet the criteria for disease control before the end of the treatment period, to contribute more data to the final estimate of the length of disease control. Derivation of pharmacokinetic parameters by noncompartmental methods became less appropriate with the limited pharmacokinetic sampling. Therefore, only efgartigimod serum concentration data were summarized. It was added to specify that IgG testing could not be performed locally to avoid unintentional unblinding. COVID-19 mitigation measures were added.
    16 Nov 2020
    Amendment 4: The eligibility criterion regarding the number of platelet counts at study entry was updated to allow more flexibility. Acceptable methods of contraception were added to the eligibility criteria per the results of the reproductive toxicity studies. The visit duration after the end of IMP infusions was shortened based on supporting safety data. The definition of AEs was updated and clarified. The definition of rescue therapy was updated to consist of an “occurrence,” which was defined as a ≤5-day period in which 1 or more rescue treatments were administered to a participant.
    15 Jul 2021
    Amendment 5: The primary endpoint analysis was updated. The key secondary endpoint analysis subject to alpha control was updated for consistency with the primary endpoint analysis.
    19 Jul 2021
    Country-Specific Amendment France version 5.1: The description of the 24-week treatment period (ie, “trial period”) was updated to “treatment period” to clarify the duration of the period, per central IEC request. Clarifications in the protocol summary were added to state the number of visits and the time duration of each visit. Reference to the Summary of Product Characteristics was added to the Concurrent ITP Therapy section. The participant demographic assessment was modified to provide that source data verification of race and ethnicity should not be performed per French regulations.
    20 Jul 2021
    Country-Specific Amendment Japan version 5.1: The sample size for Japanese participants was added. The stratification and randomization strategy was updated for Japanese participants. Specific safety measures were added. The eligibility criteria were aligned with Japanese regulations: the minimum age of enrollment was changed to 20 years of age to align with Japanese age of majority, a definition of a Japanese participant was added, and a Helicobacter pylori test was added per current management of ITP in Japan.
