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   44393   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7405   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 ).

    Primary: Number of Participants With an HbA1c Reduction From Baseline of ≥0.50% (Absolute Difference) Without Episodes of Severe Hypoglycemia

    Number of Participants With an HbA1c Reduction From Baseline of ≥0.50% (Absolute Difference) Without Episodes of Severe Hypoglycemia [1]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint was defined as the proportion of participant with an HbA1c reduction from baseline of ≥0.50% (absolute difference) without episodes of severe hypoglycemia at Week 27/28 (Visit 4). No efficacy evaluation was conducted due to the low recruitment rate (out of the 24 participants screened, only 2 participants were enrolled, 1 in the ladarixin group and 1 in the placebo group), resulting in a sample size not adequate for any formal statistical analyses. The low recruitment rate led the Sponsor decide to close enrollment on 04th August 2023 and thus to early terminate the study. No participants experienced an HbA1c reduction from baseline of at least ≥0.50%

    Number of participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) of Any Kind From the Beginning of Study Treatment to up to the End of Study Participation
    End point description
    This secondary endpoint was defined as the number of participants experiencing treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any kind from the beginning of study treatment administration to the end of study participation. An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence after exposure to a medicine, which is not necessarily caused by that medicine. A serious AE (SAE) was any adverse event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or is a birth defect. A non serious AE (nSAE) is any adverse drug experience associated with the use of the Product in humans, whether or not considered drug-related, which is not a SAE. TEAEs were defined as events with onset date or worsening during the on-treatment period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Jun 2022
    - Study involved a more thorough definition of pregnancy and lactation as an exclusion criterion, implementation of safety checks at week 4 and end of the study, and a better definition of hypoglycemia
    28 Oct 2022
    - Refining the definition of detectable C-peptide to facilitate recruitment.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    04 Aug 2023
    The Sponsor decided to close the enrollment because of a low recruitment rate. When recruitment was closed, two participants had been randomized, no SAE had occurred and therefore the safety profile of the IMP had not changed. Participants already enrolled and randomized followed the study visits and procedures as planned. The unsatisfactory recruitment was due to both a low rate of eligible participants undergoing and then passing the screening activities.
