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   44366   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7389   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 purpose of this study was to explore the preliminary efficacy of LRX712 when administered as 3 consecutive intra-articularly injections at monthly intervals (i.e., an 8-week treatment period) by evaluating the ability of the drug to regenerate articular cartilage.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Primary: Change from baseline in cartilage volume in the index region measured by 7 Tesla MRI at Week 28

    End point title
    Change from baseline in cartilage volume in the index region measured by 7 Tesla MRI at Week 28 [1]
    End point description
    Magnetic resonance images (MRI) were obtained from the target knee to visualize and quantify changes in the volume of cartilage in the index region. The index region was defined as the combination of the femoral medial anterior (FMA), central (FMC) and posterior (FMP) cartilage subregions in the knee. Change from baseline in cartilage volume was analyzed using the mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM). The model included baseline, treatment, timepoint and treatment-timepoints as fixed effects, and participant as random effect. Missing data was assumed to be Missing at Random (MAR).

    Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of MAE344 [8]
    End point description
    Cmax is defined as the maximum (peak) observed concentration following a dose. MAE344 is a metabolite of LRX712 and plasma concentrations were determined using the actual recorded sampling times and non-compartmental method with Phoenix WinNonlin (Version 8.3). MAE344 was determined by a validated LC-MS/MS method. Concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were treated as “zero” . LLOQ was 100 pg/mL. The Number of Subjects Analyzed differs as stated on the category column, in case of difference from Number of subjects that started the Arm.

    Change from baseline in articular cartilage [23Na] content measured by 7 Tesla MRI [12]
    End point description
    Magnetic resonance images (MRI) were obtained from the target knee to visualize and quantify changes in articular cartilage quality (assessed by changes in glycosaminoglycans content measured by sodium content) in the index region. The index region was defined as the combination of the femoral medial anterior (FMA), central (FMC) and posterior (FMP) cartilage subregions in the knee quality. Change from baseline in articular cartilage content was analyzed using a mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM). The model included baseline, treatment, timepoint and treatment-timepoints as fixed effects, and participant as random effect. Missing data was assumed to be Missing at Random (MAR). The data from the three participants who completed dosing with 75 mg LRX712 were considered exploratory.

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    08 Jan 2020
    The main purpose of this amendment was to update the study duration and the sample size calculation.
    29 Jun 2020
    The main purpose of this amendment was to update the language of essential protocol sections, such as Eligibility criteria and Prohibited medication among others, in order to better align them, correct inconsistencies that may have contributed to errors, and improve overall clarity.
    26 Nov 2020
    The main purpose of this amendment was to include flexible language for participating countries to follow their national regulatory requirements or guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic and SARS-CoV-2 testing.
    16 Jul 2021
    The main purpose of this amendment was to restart the study following an investigation to ensure subject safety, after a temporary hold had been placed on the study by Novartis in February 2021 due to tolerability concerns.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    24 Feb 2021
    Preliminary data from the first six subjects enrolled in LRX712A12201 identified injection site adverse events, including but not limited to joint warmth and/or swelling, along with transient elevations in inflammatory biomarkers, following dose administration in subjects (n=3) receiving active drug. As a result, Novartis put the study on temporary hold in February 2021 while further investigations were initiated. Analysis of stored biomarker samples from the FIH study also identified a pattern of transient elevations in high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) post-administration, primarily at LRX712 dose levels > 15 mg. In addition, the estimated probability of local tolerability AEs rose with LRX712 dose from 15 mg (5% higher than placebo) to 25 mg (10% higher than placebo) to 75 mg (45% higher than placebo). Therefore, based on available preclinical efficacy data, and on the available safety and tolerability data from human studies, two dose levels of LRX712 were implemented in the revised study design. The original two-arm study design (75 mg LRX712 vs. placebo) was modified to a three-arm design, with two lower doses of LRX712 (15 mg and 25 mg) vs. placebo.
