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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Change from Baseline in Brain Amyloid Load at Week 104 as Measured by [18F] Florbetaben Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan [1]
    End point description
    Screening amyloid PET scan was considered baseline evaluation.Brain amyloid load was quantified in terms of Standardized Uptake Value Ratio (SUVR),defined as ratio of tracer uptake in cortical composite target region of interest(ROI)to tracer uptake in reference ROI.Composite region: frontal,parietal,temporal,posterior cingulate cortex,anterior cingulate cortex. Reference ROI (whole cerebellum) was represented by weighted average of Cerebellum Ventral,Cerebellum Dorsal (left/right), Cerebellar White Matter.SUVR linearly transformed to standardized Centiloid Scale (CL) using formula CL=175.6xSUVR-174.2.CL ranges from <0 to >100, anchor points are 0=high-certainty amyloid negative scan and 100=amount of global amyloid deposition found in typical AD scan. ITT population set participants were included. Number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analysis at the specified timepoint.

    ARIA are an identified risk with anti-amyloid antibodies, including gantenerumab. These changes can be identified on brain MRI. ARIA-H (H for hemosiderosis) are small foci of signal loss observed on MRI sequences sensitive for paramagnetic tissue properties and comprise cerebral microbleeds (small foci of bleeding in the brain parenchyma) and leptomeningeal hemosiderosis (small foci of bleeding on the surface of the brain). These changes also occur sporadically in AD. MRI Safety-Evaluable Analysis Set included all participants of the SE analysis set who had at least one post-baseline MRI assessment.

    Number of Participants with Injection-Site Reactions (ISR)
    End point description
    An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product or other protocol-imposed intervention, regardless of attribution. Injection reactions (local and systemic) were defined as AEs that occured during or within 24 hours after study drug administration that were judged to be related to the study drug injection. Safety Evaluable population included all participants enrolled who received at least one dose of study treatment, whether prematurely withdrawn from the study or not.

    Change in Brain Amyloid Based on Different Dosing Frequency
    End point description
    The change from baseline at Week 52 using the once-weekly dosing frequency was analysed using the centiloid scale. The centiloid scale anchor points are 0 and 100, where 0 represents a high-certainty amyloid negative scan and 100 represents the amount of global amyloid deposition found in a typical AD scan. The range of centiloid values can be below 0 (negative) and greater than 100. ITT population set, included all enrolled participants (i.e., who gave informed consent, did not fail screening, and had at least one Amyloid PET scan with a valid quantitative measurement performed with either florbetaben or flutemetamol), whether or not the participant received the assigned treatment. Overall number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analysis.

    Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Anti-Drug Antibodies to Gantenerumab
    End point description
    A participant with an ADA assay result from at least one post-baseline sample was defined as a post-baseline evaluable participant. Treatment Emergent ADA was defined as a participant with a negative or missing baseline ADA result(s) and at least one positive post-baseline ADA result, or a participant with a positive ADA result at baseline who has at least one post-baseline titer results with at least a >2.5-fold increase in titer compared to baseline greater than the baseline titer result. Safety Evaluable population included all participants enrolled who received at least one dose of study treatment, whether prematurely withdrawn from the study or not. Overall number analyzed is the number of participants with an ADA assay result from at least one post-baseline sample.

    Amendment
    17 Nov 2021
    • The planned sample size (approximately 150 participants) was corrected to the final sample size of 192 participants. • Language were added to clarify that adverse events associated with a special situation that also qualify as adverse events of special interest should be reported within 24 hours.
    16 May 2022
    • The study was updated to include the optional 2-year extension. The schedule of assessments until Week 103 remains unchanged and the benefit-risk profile of gantenerumab remains unchanged. • The secondary and biomarker endpoints was updated to include a change from baseline to Week 208. • The change from baseline up to Week 208 in deposited amyloid as measured by brain amyloid PET centiloid levels was added as an exploratory biomarker endpoint. • The change from baseline to Week 208 was included for the exploratory efficacy scales and home administration questionnaire. • The Medical Monitor was changed, and the Medical Monitor contact information was deleted from Emergency Medical Contacts to avoid the inclusion of outdated telephone numbers in the protocol.

    On 14 November 2022, the Sponsor announced that the pivotal GRADUATE I and GRADUATE II studies did not meet their primary endpoint of slowing clinical decline in participants with early AD. As a result, the GRADUATION study was terminated by the Sponsor, and last participant last visit (LPLV) was on 15 March 2023.
