About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic, and Tolerability Study of AVE5026 Administered at Weight-adjusted Doses to Patients Less Than 18 Years of Age With a Central Venous Line (CVL)

Primary Objective:

  • To assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of Semuloparin [AVE5026] (assessed from the anti-Xa activity of Semuloparin) in children in order to determine the dose to be assessed in a clinical efficacy/safety study in this population.

Secondary Objective:

  • To assess the tolerability of Semuloparin when administered at a weight-adjusted, once daily dose for up to 30 days in patients less than 18 years of age with central venous line.
Read the detailed description

The maximum study duration for a participant was 68 days broken down as follows:

  • Screening period: up to 6 days,
  • Treatment period: minimum 6 days and maximum 30 days,
  • Follow-up period with an end of study visit performed 4 weeks (30 +/-2 days) post treatment.

Enrollment staggered by age group starting with the older children (≥12 years). In each younger age group, enrolment was planned to initiate only following a review by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) of the clinical safety data and available PK and PD data from the first 3 out of 7 children from the previous older age group. Enrollment of infants <3 months was planned to initiate after recruitment of all patients ≥3 months had been completed and all data analyzed by the DMC.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pharmacokinetics: Plasma concentrations of Semuloparin

    A validated anti-Xa chromogenic enzyme assay, with addition of AT-III in excess was to be used to assess plasma concentrations of semuloparin.

    A full population PK model of semuloparin in children (including covariates assessment) was to be established and individual pharmacokinetic parameters were be estimated.

    Measured: 6 samples; 0.5-1h and 6h after D4 injection, 1.5-4h and 12h after D5 injection, just before and 8h after D6 injection

  2. Pharmacodynamic activity (anti-Xa activity) of Semuloparin

    A validated anti-Xa chromogenic enzyme assay, without addition of AT-III in excess, was to be used to assess pharmacodynamic activity (factor Xa inhibition) of semuloparin.

    A full population PK/PD model of semuloparin in children (including covariates assessment) was to be established and individual pharmacodynamic parameters were to be estimated.

    Measured: 6 samples; 0.5-1h and 6h after D4 injection, 1.5-4h and 12h after D5 injection, just before and 8h after D6 injection

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Safety parameters including bleeding

    Measured: up to 30+/- 2 days post treatment

  2. Safety parameters including transfusions requirement

    Measured: up to 30+/- 2 days post treatment

  3. Safety parameters including hemoglobin, platelet count

    Measured: up to 30+/- 2 days post treatment

  4. Safety parameters including liver and renal laboratory data

    Measured: up to 30+/- 2 days post treatment

  5. Safety parameters including serious adverse events

    Measured: up to 30+/- 2 days post treatment

  6. Safety parameters including non-serious adverse events

    Measured: up to 30+/- 2 days post treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Semuloparin sodium in people with Thrombosis Prophylaxis (Risk of Thrombosis Due to Central Venous Line (CVL), run by Sanofi at 1 site in Hungary.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hungary. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Decision from Sanofi to withdraw on a worldwide basis the Marketing Authorisation Applications for Semuloparin sodium in the adult indication). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pharmacokinetics: Plasma concentrations of Semuloparin (time frame: 6 samples; 0.5-1h and 6h after D4 injection, 1.5-4h and 12h after D5 injection, just before and 8h after D6 injection). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 May 2016.
