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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participants administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A TEAE is defined as an AE with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. Safety Analysis Set for the Active Drug Extension Period included all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study drug in the Active Drug Extension Period.

    Number of Participants with at Least One TEAE During the Double-blind Randomized Withdrawal Period
    End point description
    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participants administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A TEAE is defined as an AE with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. Safety Analysis Set for the Double-blind Randomized Withdrawal Period included all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study drug in the Double-blind Randomized Withdrawal Period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    08 Jul 2021
    The following changes were implemented as per Amendment 1: 1. The duration of the randomized withdrawal period was shortened from 4 to 2 weeks. 2. An open-label extension period was added to evaluate safety of the TAK-994 regimen following the randomized withdrawal period. 3. An objective and endpoint related to microsleeps was added. 4. Low, middle, and high doses information was added to the protocol. 5. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and guidance was added. 6. Karolinska Sleepiness Scale and Narcolepsy Severity Scale for Clinical Trials scales have been added to the objectives and endpoints. 7. The possibility for participants to roll over to an optional open-label extension study was added to the study design. 8. The number of sites estimated to be included was updated from 70 to 81. 9. Stratification by Epworth Sleepiness Scale total score (<10, ≥10) and total number of cataplexy episodes in the last 7 days (≤3, >3) was added for the randomized withdrawal period. 10. The study title was updated. 11. The Overactive Bladder Questionnaire – Long Form (OAB-q-LF) and Patient Perception of Bladder Control (PPBC) have been added to objectives and endpoints. 12. The overnight stay at Day 56 to monitor possible withdrawal effect was replaced by a telephone call 24 hours after the last dose in the active drug extension period. As a result, pharmacokinetics (PK) and renin/aldosterone samples to be taken before discharge will be taken at Day 56 rather than 57.
    08 Jul 2021
    The following changes were implemented as per Amendment 1: 13. The clinical study experience and benefit-risk information was updated with the most recent information. 14. Open-label wording was removed from the figure on study design schematics. 15. The Columbia Suicide Severity Assessment scale was added at each visit. 16. The threshold for Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) was corrected to 7 minutes. 17. Statements with regard to the need to consult the sponsor and/or designee before the initiation of any concomitant medication was removed. 18. The excluded medications were updated to differentiate between prior use of medications resulting in exclusion and prior use of medications resulting in exclusion at the discretion of the investigator. 19. Relaxation of study restrictions due to the long duration of this study. 20. The instruction that breakfast and lunch should be standard meals each containing approximately 30% fat (relative total calories) was removed. 21. A partially unblinded safety physician, separate from the study team, was added. 22. Addition to include available information on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. 23. Orthostatic blood pressure measuring was added. 24. A physical examination was added at Baseline 2. 25. Update to have PK samples close to MWT measurement for the potential PK/pharmacodynamic analysis. 26. The planned pregnancy test on Day 55 was moved to Day 56. 27. It was updated that pregnancy avoidance counselling should continue through follow-up. 28. An additional pregnancy test 30 days after the last intake of study drug was added.
    23 Sep 2021
    The following changes were implemented as per Amendment 2: 1. It was clarified that liver function test results should be available to check participant eligibility before enrollment. 2. Glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) and fluoride assessments have been added. 3. Additional safety assessments were added at increased frequency. 4. A criterion was added to assess participant suitability based on blood pressure data. 5. Orthostatic blood pressure measurement was added.
