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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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
    The main objective of this trial was to provide proof of concept (PoC) of orally administered BI 1358894 125 mg after eight weeks treatment in patients with PTSD compared to placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    A log of all patients enrolled into the trial (i.e. who have signed informed consent) was maintained in the Investigator Site File (ISF) irrespective of whether they had been treated with investigational drug or not. If retrospectively it was found that a patient has been randomized in error (=did not meet all inclusion criteria or met one or more exclusion criteria), the sponsor or delegate was to be contacted immediately. Based on an individual benefit-risk assessment a decision was to be made whether continued trial participation is possible or not. After premature trial drug discontinuation, patients were asked to further attend scheduled trial visits unless they withdrew consent to participate in the trial. The importance of continuing trial participation and the value of collecting data for all randomized patients was explained to the patients. Measures to control the withdrawal rate included careful patient selection, appropriate explanation of the trial requirements and procedures prior to trial enrolment, as well as the explanation of the options for early discontinuation and explanation of the consequences in case of withdrawals. The decision to discontinue trial treatment or withdraw consent to trial participation and the reason had to be documented in the patient files and case report form (CRF). If applicable, the requirements for adverse event (AE) collection reporting had to be consider. If new efficacy/safety information became available, Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) was to review the benefit-riskassessment and, if needed, pause or discontinue the trial treatment for all patients or take any other appropriate action to ensure the safety of the trial patients. Even if the trial treatment was discontinued, the patients remained in the trial and, given their agreement, were to undergo the procedures for early treatment discontinuation and follow-up as outlined in the flow charts.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial.

    Clinician-administered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Scale for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) (CAPS-5) is a 30-item clinician-administered structured interview that can be used to, make current (past month) diagnosis of PTSD and assess PTSD symptoms over the past week. The CAPS-5 as used in this trial has 20 items, each scored 0-4, to yield a score with a possible range of 0-80. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

    End point description
    CAPS-5 is a 30-item clinician-administered structured interview that can be used to, make current (past month) diagnosis of PTSD and assess PTSD symptoms over the past week. Each of the 20 symptom items in the CAPS-5 is rated from 0 (absent) to 4 (extreme/incapacitating) with a single severity score combining information about frequency/amount and intensity which is yield by summing each item scores and ranges from 0 to 80 with higher scores indicating higher symptom severity. Least Squares (LS) means and confidence intervals were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood (REML)−based mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) including the fixed categorical covariates of treatment, and the stratification indicator of presence of significant childhood trauma (yes vs. no), the continuous fixed covariate of baseline CAPS−5 total severity score, time since index event (in years) and the treatment−by−visit interaction. Patient is considered as random. Unstructured covariance matrix was used.

    		 Change from baseline on the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) total score at Week 8
    End point description
    The PTSD Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) (PCL-5) is a 20-item patient-reported assessment designed to measure the presence and severity of PTSD symptoms in the past month. Items on the PCL-5 correspond with DSM-5 criteria for PTSD. Each item is rated on a five point Likert scale, from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely) yielding a total score from 0-80 with higher scores indicating higher severity of the symptoms. Least Square (LS) means and confidence intervals were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood (REML)−based mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) including the fixed categorical covariates of treatment, and the stratification indicator of presence of significant childhood trauma (yes vs. no), the continuous fixed covariate of baseline CAPS−5 total severity score, time since index event (in years) and the treatment−by−visit interaction. Patient is considered as random. Unstructured covariance matrix was used.

    		 Patients received orally, once daily for 8 consecutive weeks 125 milligrams (mg) of BI 1358894. The dosage of 125 milligrams consisted of two film-coated tablets of 50 mg and 1 film-coated tablet of 25 mg. BI 135889 was administered with water and in a consistent way, i.e. either with or without food every morning at approximately the same time.
