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   44335   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 ).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Among the 74 subjects who completed unilateral treatment period (Cycle 1), 2 subjects did not meet all re-injection criteria for Cycle 2 and therefore discontinued the study after end of Cycle 1 (no need for re-injection was reported as reason for both subjects). Therefore, only 72 subjects entered the bilateral treatment period (Cycle 2).

    Unilateral Treatment Period: Change From Baseline to Week 6 in Maximum Tremor Amplitude of the Wrist
    End point description
    TremorTek kinematic analytic investigational device is combination of computer software and wearable movement sensors that allows to collect motion data when placed on individual's arm to quantify tremor in various muscle groups that impact shoulder, elbow, wrist. This assessment system was used to measure maximum angular tremor amplitude at wrist of injected limb (unit: degrees). Angular tremor amplitude was measure of tremor severity. Reduction of maximum angular tremor amplitude at wrist of injected limb represented tremor improvement. Full analysis set for unilateral treatment period (FAS-UP) was subset of subjects in safety evaluation set (SES-UP, that is, all subjects who received NT201/placebo during unilateral treatment period) for whom at least one score of tremor amplitude at wrist level (injected UL) at study baseline and at least at one post-baseline score was available. “N”= subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint. The analysis was performed by randomized treatment.

    Unilateral Treatment Period: Change From Baseline to Week 6 in the Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS) Performance Dominant Upper Limb (UL) Score as Assessed by Investigator
    End point description
    The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS) was a validated clinical scale for the assessment of essential tremor severity. The TETRAS performance subscale was utilized by the qualified investigators to assess the tremor severity. The TETRAS Performance dominant UL score included TETRAS Performance items 4 (including subitems a, b, c for 3 manoeuvres), 6 to 8 of dominant UL. Each individual item score ranged from 0 to 4. The performance dominant UL score ranged from 0 to 24. Higher scores=more severe tremor. The FAS-UP was the subset of subjects in the SES-UP (all subjects who received NT201 or placebo during the unilateral treatment period) for whom at least one score of tremor amplitude at wrist level (injected UL) at the study baseline and at least at one post-baseline score was available. The analysis was performed by randomized treatment.

    TETRAS ADL subscale was another component of TETRAS. ADL subscale of TETRAS was completed by study subjects through an interview procedure to assess impact of tremor on activities of daily living. TETRAS ADL UL score was the sum of eight ADL items (on UL tremor [items 2-9]). Items were rated on a 5-point response scale each ranged from 0 (normal status/impact) to 4 (severe status/impact). The ADL UL score ranged from 0 to 32. Higher scores = greater tremor severity. The FAS-UP was subset of subjects in the SES-UP (all subjects who received NT201 or placebo during the unilateral treatment period) for whom at least one score of tremor amplitude at wrist level (injected UL) at the study baseline and at least at one post-baseline score was available.

TETRAS performance subscale consisted of 9 items: head, face, and voice tremor (items 1-3), UL tremor of right and left UL (item 4) in three tasks (forward outstretched postural tremor, lateral “wing-beating” postural tremor, kinetic tremor), Archimedes spirals with both hands, handwriting with motor-dominant hand, and dot approximation task with both hands (items 6-8), and lower limb tremor and standing tremor (items 5 and 9). Each item was rated from 0 (no tremor) to 4 (severe tremor) with overall performance score of 0 to 64, calculated as the sum of subscale items. Higher scores = greater tremor severity.

    Bilateral Treatment Period: Change From Cycle 2 Baseline to Week 6 in TETRAS ADL Functional Impact Score
    End point description
    TETRAS ADL Functional Impact score was the sum of the following three ADL items: occupational impairment (item 10), overall disability (item 11), and social impact (item 12) of ET. The items are rated on a 5-point response scale each ranged from 0 (normal status/impact) to 4 (severe status/impact). The ADL Functional Impact score ranged from 0 to 12. Higher scores indicated greater tremor severity. The FAS-BP was the subset of subjects in SES-BP (all subjects who received NT 201 during the bilateral treatment period) for whom at least one score of tremor amplitude at wrist level at the Cycle 2 baseline visit and at least at one post-baseline score.

    Percentage of Subjects With At-least One Treatment Related Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs)
    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in subject administered pharmaceutical product. TEAEs of unilateral treatment period (Cycle 1) = AEs from first injection up to injection in the bilateral treatment period (Week 24). TEAEs of bilateral treatment period (Cycle 2) = AEs from injection in bilateral treatment period up to end of study (Week 36). The safety evaluation set for the SES-UP included all subjects who received NT 201 or placebo during the unilateral treatment period and for SES-BP included all subjects who received NT 201 during the bilateral treatment period. For the unilateral treatment period, the analysis performed according to actual treatment.
