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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the effect of setmelanotide on weight in pediatric patients aged 2 to <6 years with obesity due to either (1) biallelic variants of the POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR genes or (2) Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) by determining if they meet a “responder” definition for change in body weight.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary:
    To evaluate the effect of setmelanotide on weight in pediatric patients aged 2 to <6 years with obesity due to either (1) biallelic variants of the POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR genes or (2) BBS using additional measures of changes in body weight.

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of setmelanotide in pediatric patients aged 2 to <6 years with obesity due to either (1) biallelic variants of the POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR genes or (2) BBS.

    Exploratory:
    To evaluate the effect of setmelanotide on (1) metabolic parameters, (2) waist circumference, (3) pharmacokinetics and (4) quality of life and care taker burden in pediatric patients between the ages of 2 to <6 years old with obesity due to either (1) biallelic variants of the POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR genes or (2) BBS.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Patients must have obesity due to either:
    a. POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR deficiency, confirmed by genetic testing demonstrating biallelic variants that are interpreted as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or of undetermined significance (VUS) by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) criteria, or
    b. BBS as defined by both (1) the Beales Criteria, 1999 (Beales 1999 [Appendix 16.1]) AND (2) genetic confirmation of homozygous or compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutation in BBS genes.

    3. Obese, defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥97th percentile for age and gender AND body weight of at least 20 kg at the time of enrollment

    4. Parent or guardian of study participant is able to communicate well with the PI, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study (including once daily (QD) injection regimen and all other study procedures) and is able to understand and sign the written consent.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. HbA1c >9.0% at screening

    Frequency and severity of AEs, vital signs, and change from baseline in bone age, Ages & Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition (ASQ®-3) and laboratory evaluations.

    Exploratory:
    The change from baseline in metabolic parameters (as measured by the fasting lipid profile and change in hemoglobin A1c), change in waist circumference from baseline, pharmacokinetic parameters, and change in caregiver burden (as measured by the Zarit Burden Interview instrument) and quality of life (as measured by the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment, PROMIS Global Health - Parent Proxy and Caregivers instruments) will be summarized.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    End points are assessed from baseline to end of treatment.
