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   44352   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7379   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 assess hematologic improvement based on an erythroid response (HI E) greater than or equal to (≥) 8 weeks duration in subjects with MDS within 24 weeks of etavopivat treatment
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (Oct 2013) and International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice, including archiving of essential documents (May 1996) and European Standard (EN) International Standard (ISO) 14155 Part 1 and 2 and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 312.120.
    Background therapy
    Etavopivat is a selective, orally bioavailable small-molecule activator of the red blood cell pyruvate kinase (PKR) enzyme. By activating PKR, etavopivat aims to increase the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in red blood cells, which is hypothesized to enhance haemoglobin levels and improve erythroid response. This mechanism is particularly relevant for subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), where anaemia and reduced red blood cell production are significant concerns. Subjects in the study were classified into groups based on their risk levels: very low risk, low risk, or intermediate risk MDS. This categorization was important for assessing the therapy's effectiveness and safety in different subject subpopulations, ensuring tailored evaluation of responses to etavopivat and its impact on anaemia management.

    This endpoint was assessed for total number of AEs and SAEs in subjects, including AEs related to etavopivat. AEs are any unfavorable medical occurrences in subjects taking the medicinal product, regardless of causality. SAEs are severe AEs that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalization, lead to significant disability, or involve congenital anomalies. Important medical events posing risks to the subjects are also classified as SAEs. Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) are AEs occurring after treatment initiation, aiding in the safety assessment of etavopivat. TEAEs will be considered drug-related if assessed by the investigator as possibly related or related, or if relationship is missing. Safety population included all subjects who receive at least one dose of etavopivat (including partial dosing).

    End point description
    The endpoint was assessed for total number of premature discontinuations, dose interruptions and dose reductions. Premature discontinuation was defined as any discontinuation prior to week 48. A dose interruption is a temporary halt in treatment due to an AE, while a dose reduction involves lowering the dosage of the drug when AEs occur. If a subject tolerates a reduced dose for 14 days, a rechallenge with the original dose may occur after a clinic visit, but any new Grade 3 or higher AEs require treatment discontinuation and consultation with the Global Medical Monitor before resuming. Safety population included all subjects who receive at least one dose of etavopivat (including partial dosing).

    Duration of response
    End point description
    This endpoint reported duration of response which was defined as duration of response will be summarized with quantiles based on product limit estimates (ie, Kaplan-Meier). Duration of response is defined as the time from date of first known incidence of a 2006 IWG criteria response to the most recent date that the 2006 IWG (International Working Group) criteria is not met following the initial response. If the subject has met IWG criteria throughout the period following the initial response, the subject will be censored at the latest date of end of study, loss to follow-up, or death.

    This endpoint reported Etavopivat plasma concentrations in order to assess the PK properties of etavopivat in subjects with MDS. PK parameters included but not limited to were: Time to maximum observed plasma concentration, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero until the last quantifiable time point (AUC0-last), from time zero to infinity (AUC0-inf), for a dosing interval (AUCtau/AUC0-24).) However due to early termination of the study, all the PK parameters could not be assessed and only the plasma concentrations was assessed. The PK set includes all safety set subjects who have at least one evaluable concentration for etavopivat at a scheduled PK time point after the start of dosing. Here, n (number analysed) = subjects with available data for a specified category. 99999 signifies the arithmetic mean and standard deviation was not evaluable.
