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   44404   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7414   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 trial primary goal will be to evaluate the safety and tolerability of OST-122 in patients with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis disease over 28 days of trearment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in compliance with the ICH Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki, applicable local regulatory requirements, and the study protocol. All candidates taking part in the study were individually and fully informed about the nature of the study (aims, type of treatment, methodology) and the drug tested (expected risk/benefits, possible side effects) as well as their rights and responsibilities if they decided to participate. All were required to read a Patient Information Sheet and sign an Informed Consent Form (ICF).

    End point timeframe
    Safety and tolerability of OST-122 was assessed from baseline to Day 43 (end of follow-up)
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The number of subjects with at least one adverse event was summarised by proportion and 95% confidence interval using exact methods based on the binomial Clopper-Pearson method, independently of treatment groups and by type of AE. Comparison between treatment groups in the number (%) of subjects reporting one or more treatment-emergent AEs by preferred term was performed using Fisher's exact test.

    End point description
    The following pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated on Day 1 and Day 28 (endo of treatment, EoT): Cmax: Maximum observed plasma concentration, obtained directly from the data – without interpolation. Area under the curve (AUC): Cumulative area under the plasma concentration time curve calculated from 0 to the last observed concentration above the Lower Limit Of Quantification (LLOQ), using the mixed model linear log trapezoidal rule. Tmax: Time of maximum observed plasma concentration; obtained directly from the data, without interpolation. If it occurs at more than one time point, Tmax was defined as the first time point with this value. Ctrough: concentration reached by a drug immediately before the next dose is administered.

    Notes
    [2] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Justification: Placebo arms do not have parental compound, therefore descriptive statistics are not applicable.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    08 Jan 2021
    Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mitigation measures were implemented including the replacement of selected on-site visits with telephone contacts to minimise patient travel while ensuring adequate monitoring. Additionally, inclusion of patients with inadequate response or intolerance to Ustekinumab, Tofacitinib or other JAK inhibitors was allowed, subject to a 60-day washout period.
    19 Aug 2021
    The number of participants in the 400 mg cohort was increased while maintaining the overall sample size, with removal of the 800 mg cohort. This adjustment strengthens the robustness and interpretability of results and supports the assessment of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy in line with the exploratory nature of this proof-of-concept study.
    23 Dec 2021
    The washout period for prior medications was reduced to allow patients with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis, inadequately controlled with current therapy, to access IMP as early as possible. This is particularly relevant given that OST-122 is a selective JAK3/TYK2 inhibitor designed to act exclusively at the gastrointestinal tract level, with limited oral absorption and rapid hepatic metabolism. This pharmacokinetic profile makes a prolonged washout period unnecessary from a safety perspective.
