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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Participants were enrolled at 16 sites in the United States including Puerto Rico. The study enrolled pediatric participants with central precocious puberty (CPP) who were either naïve to treatment with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor agonist (GnRHa) or who had been previously treated with a GnRHa.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study was conducted in 2 parts. In Part 1, leuprolide acetate (LA) 45 mg 6-month depot formulation was evaluated from Baseline to Week 48. Following completion of Part 1 assessments, participants continued in Part 2 (extension period) to evaluate long-term treatment of LA 45 mg 6-month depot formulation (up to 24 months).

    Primary: Percentage of Participants With Suppression of Peak Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRHa)-Stimulated Luteinizing Hormone (LH) to Less Than 4 mlU/mL at Week 24

    Percentage of Participants With Suppression of Peak Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRHa)-Stimulated Luteinizing Hormone (LH) to Less Than 4 mlU/mL at Week 24 [1]
    End point description
    Suppression of GnRHa-stimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) was measured using a peak GnRHa stimulation test, performed using subcutaneous injection with an aqueous formulation of leuprolide acetate at 20 μg/kg. Peak stimulated LH was calculated by taking the maximum LH concentrations measured from blood samples taken at 30 or 60 min following the GnRHa stimulation test. Suppression of GnRHa-stimulated luteinizing hormone is defined as peak stimulated LH less than 4 mIU/mL. The Full Analysis Set (FAS) consists of all participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Participants with missing GnRHa-stimulated LH results at Week 24 were counted as not achieving suppression.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Week 24 (prior to the Week 24 dose); samples for LH measurement were taken 30 and 60 minutes after the stimulation test injection.

    Parts 1 and 2: Ratio of Change From Baseline in Bone Age to Change From Baseline in Chronological Age
    End point description
    Bone age was assessed from radiographs of the hand and wrist by a central imaging vendor using the BoneXpert automated system. A ratio less than 1 indicates less advancement of bone age compared to chronological age. Full analysis set; n=non missing observations.

    Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Maintenance of Suppression of GnRHa-stimulated LH (< 4 mlU/mL)
    End point description
    Suppression of GnRHa-stimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) was measured using a peak GnRHa stimulation test, performed using subcutaneous injection with an aqueous formulation of leuprolide acetate at 20 μg/kg. Peak stimulated LH was calculated by taking the maximum LH concentrations measured from blood samples taken at 30 or 60 min following the GnRHa stimulation test. Suppression of GnRHa-stimulated luteinizing hormone is defined as peak stimulated LH less than 4 mIU/mL. Full analysis set; n=observed cases.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    27 Jun 2018
    Major changes included: primary and secondary endpoints defined at prespecified timepoints aligned with the duration of the pharmacological effect of LA 45 mg 6 month; other efficacy endpoints added to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of LA 45 mg 6 month at each scheduled assessment; biochemical assessments for hormonal flare/AOC phenomenon added; adverse events of special interest (AESIs) including neuropsychiatric events, seizure/convulsion, injection site reaction, and hypersensitivity reaction added to align with current LupronDepot US package insert; pubertal response to GnRHa stimulation test added at Screening for naïve subjects to align with the LH level for biochemical diagnosis of CPP used in clinical practice; timing of withdrawal criteria for inadequate suppression changed from Week 8 to Week 24 to avoid early withdrawal of subjects who may need more time to reach hormonal suppression in response to long acting formulation; added procedures for rescreening.
    05 Aug 2020
    Major changes included: alternative study procedures related to subject safety in response to the COVID19 pandemic added throughout. The following alternative procedures were permitted per protocol: ○ If a subject could not come to the site because of an unforeseen circumstance (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic), study visits could be conducted virtually by site staff (e.g., by phone or video) or by a qualified home healthcare nurse in a non-hospital/clinic environment (e.g., the subject's home) at the request of the investigator and with the agreement of the subject's parent or legal guardian. Patient-reported outcome entries could be administered by site staff over the phone and responses collected on paper (source) and transcribed into EDC or entered by site staff directly into an electronic collection system. AbbVie was to be notified if these changes occurred. Supplemental study case report forms were completed in the event of COVID-19 related missed/virtual visits, study drug interruptions or discontinuations, or AEs (including capture of specific signs/symptoms of infection and testing results). ○ In unforeseen circumstances (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic), the study drug injection could be administered and GnRHa stimulation test and required gonadotropins and sex steroids blood samples collection could be performed by a home healthcare nurse at the subject's home. If permitted by local regulations, provisioning of study drug and generic LA for stimulation test for direct to-patient and direct-from‑patient transfer because of unforeseen circumstances (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic) was available upon request. In the event of a home healthcare nurse performing the study drug injection at the subject's home, the injection site reaction assessment was to be conducted by the home healthcare nurse. AbbVie was to be notified if any of these situations occurred.
    05 Aug 2020
    (con't) ○ If a subject could not visit the site because of unforeseen circumstances (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic), laboratory and PK samples could be collected by a home healthcare service and sent to the central laboratory. If the central laboratory could not be used to test samples because of unforeseen circumstances (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic), laboratory samples could be collected and tested at a local laboratory. AbbVie was to be notified if any of these situations occurred.
