Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 8 weeks to 12 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Patients from the WP08 and WP09 Trials who have been treated with enalapril Orodispersible Minitablets and are still under ODMT treatment.
  • Patients from the WP08 and WP09 Trials who have been treated for at least 3 days with enalapril Orodispersible Minitablets and are no longer under ODMT treatment.
  • Written informed consent from parent(s)/legal representative provided written informed consent for participation in this long term follow-up study and assent from the patient according to national legislation and as far as achievable from the child.

Who cannot join

About this study

Paediatric long-term safety follow-up clinical trial in maximum 100 children with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy or congenital heart disease, from 1 day to less than 12 years of age at recruitment into the preceding short-term pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) trials. Pharmacodynamic measurements and renal monitoring in all children after 1 , 4, 7 and 10 months of follow-up; in addition PK assessments as well as acceptability and palatability assessments in children still under enalapril Orodispersible Minitablet (ODMT) treatment.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is one of three clinical trials of the European Commission (FP7)-funded "LENA" (Labeling of Enalapril from Neonates to Adolescents) project: 50 children with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy (LENA-Work Package (WP)08 Trial) and 50 children with heart failure due to congenital heart disease (LENA-WP09 Trial) get treated with an optimal dose of enalapril ODMTs for up to 8 weeks after thorough, individualised titration and get invited to join this 10 months Safety Follow-up Study (LENA-WP10 Trial).

Reliable data on the long-term safety of enalapril in paediatric patients are currently not available. By conducting this long-term Safety Follow-up Trial in children who received or still receive enalapril Orodispersible Minitablets at the end of the 8-weeks PK/PD LENA-Work Package (WP)08 (children with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy) and LENA-WP09 (children with heart failure due to congenital heart disease) Trials using sensitive and highly specific assay methodology, it will be possible to add to the generation of reliable PK and PD data in the whole paediatric age range from birth to 12 years. In addition, this follow-up study will allow to systematically collect follow-up information over 10 more months, so in total 12 months, in paediatric patients under long-term enalapril ODMT treatment and in paediatric patients who had received at least 3 days of ODMT treatment but then stopped for any reason.

The End-of-study Visit of the WP08 and WP09 Trials is also the First Visit of the Follow-up Study. Further Visits occur after 1 month, 4 months, 7 months and 10 months.

At each Visit blood pressure and renal monitoring as well as pharmacodynamic parameters and adverse events are assessed. In children under ongoing enalapril ODMT treatment, single PK sampling as well as acceptability and palatability assessments are made at each Visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Enalapril Orodispersible Minitablet in people with Heart Failure and Dilated Cardiomyopathy, run by Ethicare GmbH at 6 sites in 5 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, United Kingdom. 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Stephanie Laeer, Prof,MD,PhD (+49 211 8110740, Stephanie.Laeer@uni-duesseldorf.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with Adverse Reactions (time frame: up to month 10). 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 13 Jan 2016.
