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

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that the efficacy of avatrombopag is superior to placebo for the treatment of pediatric subjects with ITP of ≥6 months duration who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) and 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.

    To be eligible for the study, the subject must have had a confirmed diagnosis of primary ITP for ≥6 months duration and had an insufficient response to a previous treatment with an average of 2 platelet counts <30×10^9/L with no single count >35×10^9/L.

    Dosage and administration details
    Subjects received avatrombopag or matching placebo as either the film-coated oral tablet or the powder for oral suspension. The powder for oral suspension was contained in a capsule that was to be opened to sprinkle the contents into an appropriate vehicle to prepare the suspension. No partial dosing from the capsule was allowed; the entire contents were to be used to prepare the suspension. On Day 1, Cohort 1 (≥12 to <18 years old) and Cohort 2 (≥6 to <12 years old) had a starting dose of avatrombopag of 20 mg once daily, administered as an oral tablet, consistent with the approved adult dosing. The starting dose for Cohort 3 (≥1 to <6 years old) was 10 mg once daily administered as an oral suspension. The dose of study drug was to be titrated up or down based on the subject’s platelet count to maintain a platelet count between ≥50 and ≤150×10^9/L.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Dec 2020
    Amendment 1 refined several inclusion and exclusion criteria, clarified the allowable contraception methods, aligned the definition of a lack of treatment effect in the Extension Phase with the Core Phase definition, and confirmed that a protocol amendment would be implemented if two subjects in Cohort 3 require medical monitor approved dose escalations above 20 mg daily.
    02 Nov 2021
    Amendment 2 updated the sponsor name, and clarified corticosteroid use prior to Baseline, the minimum subject age at Baseline, and the timing of serial PK sampling.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
