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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The number of patients randomized and treated was lower than planned in the study protocol. The Sponsor decided to stop patient enrolment on 28 March 2022, due to the recruitment rate being lower than expected. At the time of recruitment closure, 25 patients had been randomized compared with the 75 planned.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Overall, 80 patients were screened and enrolled in the study. Out of these, 55 patients were not randomized due to failure to meet randomization criteria (52, 65.0%) and consent withdrawal (3, 3.8%).

    Blinding implementation details
    Patients, Investigators and site staff remained blinded to treatment assignment throughout the study. The realization of the double-blind design was made possible by the production of placebo capsules identical in appearance to the active IMP, including packaging and labelling. The treatment assignment info was kept confidential and not disclosed to any other persons than the ones involved in emergency and safety procedures, i.e., Investigators and Dompé Pharmacovigilance contact persons.

    The sample size of the study is calculated on the “proportion of patients with a HbA1c < 7% and daily insulin requirement <0.50 IU/Kg/day”, a post-hoc composite endpoint derived from data of the phase 2 trial (MEX0114), considering a larger effect size expected from the longer treatment length (one year versus 3 months). The time frame for the primary endpoint has been set at Month 12 (Week 52) in order to evaluate the potential of ladarixin effects on a long-term projection. Please note that proportion is expressed as count of patients.

    C-peptide level is a widely used measure of pancreatic beta-cell function and the MMTT is one of the methods for its estimation. AUC stands for Area Under the Curve. AUC calculation was based on actual rather scheduled timings and it was calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Cpeptide 0-120 min AUC (nmol/L) values were calculated based on all Basal-120min C-peptide values. Unscheduled assessments were excluded from the analysis.

    Changes From Baseline in HbA1c Levels at Months 6, 12 and 18.
    End point description
    HbA1c measurement can be used as a diagnostic test for diabetes providing that stringent quality assurance tests are in place and assays are standardised to criteria aligned to the international reference values, and there are no conditions present which preclude its accurate measurement. An HbA1c of 6.5% is recommended as the cut point for diagnosing diabetes. A value of less than 6.5% does not exclude diabetes diagnosed using glucose tests. An A1C test measures the percentage of red blood cells that have glucose-coated hemoglobin.

    For the purpose of this study, a severe hypoglycaemic event is defined as an event with one of the following symptoms: memory loss, confusion, uncontrollable behavior, irrational behavior, unusual difficulty in awakening, suspected seizure, seizure, loss of consciousness or visual symptoms, in which the subject was unable to treat him/herself and which was associated with either a blood glucose level <54mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L) or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, i.v. glucose, or glucagon administration.

    For the purpose of this study, daily insulin is averaged over the previous 3 days.Insulin requirement (IU/kg/day averaged over the previous 3 days) was to be recorded to Months 6, 12 and 18. Patients were admitted to intensive diabetes management, according to current ADA recommendation [2014]. Patients were instructed to self-monitor their glucose values at least 4 times a day and to report (glucose meter/log) outcome to the diabetes management team. Insulin intake was adjusted to target HbA1c levels of less than 7% and self-monitored (fingerstick): • pre-prandial blood glucose of 70-130 mg/dL • post-prandial blood glucose < 180 mg/dL • bed-time blood glucose of 110-150 mg/dL
