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   44346   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7374   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 evaluate the safety and tolerability of empasiprubart (ARGX-117) compared to placebo in adult participants previously stabilized with IVIg
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the protocol and consensus ethical principles derived from international guidelines, including the Declaration of Helsinki, applicable ICH GCP guidelines, and applicable laws and regulations. The participant’s informed consent was documented by the dated signature of the participant and the dated signature of the investigator or investigator’s delegate before enrollment.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    78 participants were screened: 27 directly entered IVIg monitoring period (IVMP), and 30 entered IVMP after completing IVIg dependency period (IVDP). Of the 57 participants who entered IVMP, 54 completed IVMP and were enrolled in 2 cohorts. In each cohort, 27 participants were randomized (2:1) to receive: EMP IV (N=18) or PBO (N=9).

A 3-day moving average has been generated based on the average over the last 3 days of the obtained daily averages for each hand.

    Change From Baseline in the MMN-RODS centile score
    End point description
    The Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale for MMN (MMN-RODS) is a disease-specific PRO instrument constructed to capture activity limitations in patients with MMN. Raw sum scores of the 25-item MMN-RODS (range, 0-50) were converted to a centile metric score ranging from 0 to 100. Lower scores indicated a greater degree of disability.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 Feb 2022
    Amendment 1 (v2.0) - Revised contraception guidelines and defined sexual abstinence and unacceptable forms of contraception per Clinical Trials Facilitation and Coordination Group guidelines. The timing of pregnancy tests for women of childbearing potential was also clarified. - Clarified that a delay in the first visit (IDV1 or IMV1) to align with a participant’s IVIg dosing schedule would not result in screen failure. - Clarified that all assessments were performed before IMP administration unless otherwise specified. Added sampling for immunogenicity at screening. - Extended the safety follow-up period from 9 to 12 months and adapted the timing of the visits. - Corrected mMRC endpoint from percentage of time to proportion of participants. - Specified liver and renal exclusion cutoff values in the exclusion criteria. Also clarified that individuals who had a splenectomy were excluded from the study. - Expanded criteria for early treatment discontinuation to include the detection of a new malignancy during the DBTP and participants whose blinding code was broken. - Updated safety and monitoring criteria. - Added C-reactive protein to the collected laboratory parameters.
    12 Dec 2022
    Amendment 2 (v3.0): - Revised the definition of clinically meaningful deterioration to align with the clinical presentation of MMN. - Clarified that the investigator determined whether deterioration in objective MMN measurements necessitated retreatment with IVIg. - Updated the safety follow-up period and requirements for contraception from 12 to 15 months to reflect the half-life of empasiprubart. - Clarified that bilateral vasectomy was considered an effective form of contraception. - Clarified that the final causality assessment was made by the sponsor after careful review of all relevant information, including recommendations/suggestions from the principal investigator and IDMC. - Clarified that “stable” IVIg regimen was at least 3 months before screening or recently initiated. - Clarified that IDMC review of cohort 1 data also considered early discontinuations within the DBTP. - Clarified the timing of assessments. - Clarified the secondary endpoints of the study: mMRC, 9-HPT, EQ-5D-5L, PGI-C, HRPQ, TSQM-14, and ADA. The endpoint planned to assess the difference between the time to the first retreatment with IVIg (cycle) and the second time to retreatment with IVIg was removed because it was unlikely to be meaningful. - Replaced the full analysis set with the safety analysis set, because participants were analyzed according to the treatment received and not planned. The per protocol analysis set was deleted. - Added that interim analyses could have been performed for regulatory interactions.
    02 Mar 2023
    Amendment 3 (v4.0): - Added AEs of clinical interest. - Added 3 dosing regimen options for cohort 2. - Added details about maintaining blinding throughout cohort 2. - Updated potential risks and mitigation strategies. - Updated ANA titer reporting to ≥1:100. - Updated pregnancy follow-up and SAE reporting language and clarified that any female who became pregnant while participating in the study would discontinue IMP. - Added details for the interim analyses after the completion of cohort 1 and cohort 2. - Clarified the timeline for the final database lock. - Updated language to reflect that the EDRT would select the final dosing regimen in cohort 2, if applicable.
