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   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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.

    • To explore the potential for reduction in concurrent ITP therapy.
    • To evaluate the effects of efgartigimod treatment on quality-of-life (QoL) measures and patient-reported outcomes (PRO).
    • To evaluate the incidence and severity of bleeding events while receiving treatment with efgartigimod.
    • To evaluate the use of rescue treatment while receiving tretment with efgartigimod.
    • To assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of efgartigimod.
    • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of efgartigimod.
    First 52-week treatment period and additional 52-week treatment periods:
    • To assess the immunogenicity of efgartigimod.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Ability to understand the requirements of the trial, to provide written informed consent (including consent for the use and disclosure of research-related health information), and to comply with the trial protocol procedures (including required trial visits).
    2. Patients enrolled in the ARGX-113-1801 trial who completed the 24-week trial period.
    3. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline before trial medication (infusion) can be administered. Women are considered of childbearing potential unless they are post-menopausal (defined by continuous amenorrhea) for at least 1 year with a FSH of >40 IU/L or are surgically sterilized (ie, women who had a hysterectomy, a bilateral salpingectomy, both ovaries surgically removed, or have a documented permanent female sterilization procedure including tubal ligation). Follicle-stimulating hormone can be used to confirm post-menopausal status in amenorrheic patients not on hormonal replacement therapy.
    4. Women of childbearing potential should use a highly effective or acceptable method of contraception during the trial and for 90 days after the last administration of the IMP. They must be on a stable regimen, for at least 1 month:
    • combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation
    - oral
    - intravaginal
    - transdermal
    • progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation:
    - oral
    - injectable
    - implantable
    • intrauterine device (IUD)
    • intrauterine hormone-releasing system
    • bilateral tubal occlusion
    • vasectomized partner(provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial participant and that aspermia was documented post procedure)
    • continuous abstinence from heterosexual sexual contact. Sexual abstinence is only allowable if it is the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) is not acceptable.
    • male or female condom with or without spermicide
    • cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide
    5. Non-sterilized male patients who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use an acceptable method of contraception, ie, condom. Male patients practicing true sexual abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant) can be included. Sterilized male patients who have had a vasectomy with documented aspermia post procedure can be included. In addition, male patients are not allowed to donate sperm during this period from signing of informed consent form, throughout the duration of the trial, and for 90 days after the last administration of IMP.

    In addition to the above criteria, for patients who want to continue receiving efgartigimod during an additional 52-week treatment period (only applicable in case efgartigimod is not yet commercially available for patients with primary ITP, or becomes available through another patient program for patients with primary ITP)
    6. Ability to understand the requirements of the additional 52-week treatment period of the trial, to provide written informed consent (including consent for the use and disclosure of research- related health information), and to comply with the trial protocol procedures (including required trial visits)
    7. Patient has completed a 52-week treatment period.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Introduction or continuation of non-permitted medications during the ARGX-113-1801 trial (such as anti-CD20 therapy, romiplostim, monoclonal antibodies, Fc fusion proteins or live/live-attenuated vaccines).
    2. Pregnant or lactating women, and those intending to become pregnant during the trial or within 90 days after the last dosing.
    3. Patients with known medical history of hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of efgartigimod.
    4. Use of any other investigational drug or participation in any other investigational trial.
