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   44394   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7406   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 primary objective of Phase A was to demonstrate the efficacy of VER 01 in terms of pain reduction compared to placebo in the treatment of patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CLBP) when drug treatment is indicated and a previous optimised treatment with non-opioids has not led to sufficient pain relief or was unsuitable due to contraindications or intolerance. The primary objective of Phase B was to investigate the long-term safety and the potential for dependence and abuse of VER-01 over 26 weeks. The primary objective of Phase C was to investigate the long-term safety, the potential for dependence and abuse and the effects of sudden drug withdrawal for long-term open-label treatment with VER-01 over an additional 26 weeks. The primary objective of Phase D was to demonstrate the maintenance of efficacy of VER-01 in terms of pain reduction on a placebo-controlled basis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study has been conducted 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.
    Background therapy
    Ibuprofen (tablets, dose strength 800 mg) was available as rescue medication. It could be taken at a daily dose of up to 2,400 mg and, independent of dose, on a maximum of 3 days per week. No intake was allowed during 24 hours prior to visits, except for the follow-up visit and unscheduled visits. If ibuprofen was contraindicated paracetamol could be used as a rescue medication in the form of tablets (500 mg) at a maximum daily dose of 4,000 mg and, independent of dose, on a maximum of 3 days a week. No intake was allowed during 24 hours prior to visits, except for the follow-up visit and unscheduled visits.

    Arm description
    After Screening and a 1-week run-in phase to determine the baseline pain score, patients were to be randomised to a 3-week double-blind self-titration with VER-01 for individual dose finding. Subsequently, patients were to be treated with the patient-specific optimal daily dose identified during the titration phase for 12 weeks.

    During the 3-week self-titration phase for individual dose finding, patients were to be treated up to twice daily with increasing doses according to the titration schedule until the patient-specific optimal daily dose up to the maximum allowed daily dose of 32.5 mg THC was reached based on efficacy (symptom relief) and safety (side effects). Patients were then to be treated with the patient-specific optimal daily dose for 12 weeks. The daily dose determined in the titration phase could be adjusted upwards or downwards if their condition or concomitant medication changed or to manage side effects.

    After 3 weeks of open-label self-titration with VER-01, the patients took VER-01 at their individual optimal dose over a period of 6 months (26 weeks). The daily dose could be adjusted downwards or upwards as required, up to the maximum allowed daily dose of 32.5 mg THC. In Phase B, 4 regular visits (B7, B8, B9, B10) and 4 visits for the return and dispensing of the IMP (AID1, AID2, AID3, AID4) took place.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Patients who completed Phase A could be enrolled in Phase B, which had a target number of 500 patients. After 3 weeks of open-label self-titration with VER-01, patients took VER-01 at their individual optimal dose over a period of 6 months (26 weeks). (The exact design could not be fully mirrored in the EudraCT form.)

    Justification: Phases C and D ran in parallel. Phase B patients were statistically assigned to ensure Phase D included ≥80 (target: 120) responders (≥30% pain reduction in Phase B). Once recruitment targets for C and D were met, subsequent patients completed the study after Phase B. (The exact design could not be fully mirrored in the EudraCT form.)

    The global impression of change (PGIC) by the patient was assessed at the end of the treatment phase at using the PGIC with the following question: ‘How is your low back pain in comparison to before participation in the study?’. The responses were recorded numerically on a 7-point Likert scale. The scale ranged from 0 (very much better) to 6 (very much worse). The assessment was dichotomised to ‘improvement of symptoms’ (assessment of 0 or 1) or ‘no improvement of symptoms’ (assessment of 2, 3 or 4). Improvement of symptoms = very much better and much better.
