Description
Following the notification by the investigator site of the inclusion of a participant in 25/10/2024, through protocol inclusion validation procedure to the coordinating center, the study-co believed inclusion would be automatically registered in the eCRF.
The patient per protocol required information was not registered into the eCRF, which led to the sponsor not being aware of the inclusion until 09/04/2025.This information was reported and then confirmed as a serious breach at the 15/04/2026.
The causes of this serious breach are as follows:
- The enrolling center did not enter patient information into the eCRF
- Communication between the coordinating center and sponsor was inadequately ensured
- Monitoring and oversight conducted by the sponsor was insufficient
Impact of the situation is still being assessed until monitoring visit is conducted and patient data verified.
Sponsor actions
The root cause is detailed in attached document, immediate actions taken are :
- The immediate entry of patient data into the eCRF, with urgent reporting of AEs
- Urgent scheduling of a monitoring visit at the inclusion center.
Preventive actions are :
- Ensure systematic notification of the sponsor for each planned inclusion, through modification of the inclusion process.
- Increased surveillance of enrolling centers through newsletters and increased communication with centers noticed to be having difficulties
- Prioritization of monitoring activities of early phase clinical trials.

Event description
On 12 January 2026, the Sponsor became aware of an unexpected limitation in the supply of propranolol 40 mg, one of the investigational medicinal products used in the study.
On 9 January 2026, the French Competent Authority (ANSM) published an official communication (attached) regarding national supply tensions affecting propranolol 40 mg and the measures to be implemented in France in this context. Furthermore, the clinical trial documentation submitted via CTIS specifies the use of a single specialty, propranolol TEVA 40 mg (Attached).
In order to ensure continuity of treatment for participants, it became necessary to consider the use of an alternative authorised generic specialty of propranolol 40 mg, in this case propranolol ARROW 40 mg(attached).
Measures taken
Based on the feedback received from the ANSM, the Sponsor was advised to submit an Urgent Safety Measure (USM) via CTIS in order to document and trace the temporary use of propranolol ARROW 40mg, and to submit later on a corresponding amendment to the clinical trial application.

Accordingly, a substantial modification to the application will be submitted within 15 days following this USM notification. This modification will concern Part I only, and will include updates to the study protocol. These measures are implemented with the objective of avoiding any interruption or delay in the administration of propranolol to study participants, in the context of the ongoing supply constraints.
