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 study was conducted between 26-January-2021 (first subject first visit) to 22-September-2023 (last subject last visit). Study had 6 arms, however, AZD9977 monotherapy and placebo arms closed early due to change in Heart Failure (HF) treatment guidelines.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects were enrolled after signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF). The study had an optional pre-screening visit. Study enrolled 153 subjects across 6 arms. Due to ERF limitations, subject disposition and baseline data were presented for only 144 subjects. Nine subjects were excluded from analysis due to site misconduct and GCP non-compliance.

    Percent Change from Baseline in Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (UACR) at Week 12
    End point description
    Change from baseline in UACR at the end of 12 weeks of study treatment was calculated as the average of the UACR values at Week 12 and was analyzed by a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM). Due to early removal of arms (AZD9977 150 mg monotherapy and Placebo), the study objectives were revised and the MMRM analysis included the 4 remaining arms (AZD9977 15/50/150 mg + Dapagliflozin, and Dapagliflozin 10 mg). Since 2 arms were removed from the study resulting in fewer subjects only descriptive statistics are shown for those two arms without formal comparison. Here, -999.999 and 999.999 indicates that the lower and upper limits of the 95% CI were not calculated due to insufficient number of participants enrolled in this arm. FAS included all subjects who were randomized and either received or did not receive any study intervention.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Enrolment stopped early because of slow recruitment. Therefore, pre-specified sample size of 500 and planned statistical power were not achieved. Nine subjects were excluded from analysis due to site misconduct and GCP non-compliance.
