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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    - To demonstrate the equivalence between EB1001 and EU-licensed Prolia in terms of change in bone marrow density (BMD) at the lumbar spine from baseline to Month 12 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. - To demonstrate the pharmacodynamic similarity between EB1001 and EU-licensed Prolia for the area under the effect curve (AUEC) of s-CTX (serum carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen) from baseline to Month 6 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, ICH GCP, and all applicable regulations.
    Background therapy
    Calcium and vitamin D were co-administered to prevent low serum calcium level while taking study drugs. All patients were to receive daily supplementation containing 1000 mg of elemental calcium and 400 IU vitamin D from randomization until the EoS visit (Month 12).
    Evidence for comparator
    The EU-Licensed Prolia® is used as active comparator.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 203 patients were screened for the study. Of these, a total of 61 patients were randomly assigned - 29 patients in EB1001 group and 32 in EU-licensed Prolia group. All patients in EB1001 group and 30 patients in EU-licensed Prolia group completed the study treatment. 2 patients in EU-licensed Prolia group discontinued the study treatment

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study comprised of screening evaluations which were to be completed within 28 days prior to randomization. After the screening period, patients were to undergo 12-months treatment period. Eligible patients were to be randomized (1:1) to receive either EB1001(60 mg) or EU-licensed Prolia (60 mg) via SC injection on Day 1 and at Month 6.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 May 2021
    Protocol Version 1.0 dated 24 May 2021 - Original protocol
    22 Jul 2021
    Protocol Version 2.0 dated 22 Jul 2021 - Amendment 1 The amendment is considered minor because it does not significantly impact the safety or physical/mental integrity of participants. No patients have been enrolled as of the date of this amendment. Per the recommendations of Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) regarding the overall study design, a restricted weight range of 50 to 100 kg for study participants is endorsed, as this would increase homogeneity of the participant population. To address this recommendation, inclusion criterion #4 concerning a body weight range has been added in Section 4.1.1 Inclusion Criteria: ''Inserted inclusion criterion #4 “Body weight between 40.0 and 99.9 kg, both inclusive, when rounded to the nearest tenth.”
