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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To show an increase in height after 3 years of growth hormone (GH) treatment. However subjects will be followed for up to 5 years of treatment. Height in standard deviation (SD) for chronological age (CA) after 3 years will be compared to Height in SD for CA before inclusion in the trial.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

    Change From Baseline in Height Standard Deviation Score (SDS) for Chronological Age (CA) at Month 36: Full Analysis Population [1]
    End point description
    Height was measured using a wall mounted device (example, Harpenden stadiometer). The standing height of the subject was measured two times and the mean of these measurements was recorded. Height SDS CA Yx = (height Yx – reference mean for CA Yx) / reference SD for CA Yx; Yx refers to the value at particular timepoint x. Height in SDS was calculated using Sempe reference means and SD for height. CA calculated as integer (Date of height measurement–Date of birth)/365.25*12. Full analysis set (FAS) included all subjects (excluding a site with GCP issues) who had received at least 1 injection of GH and had at least 1 post-Baseline measurement of height. Here "n" signifies those subjects who were evaluable for the specified time point.

    Annual Growth Rate (AGR)

    AGR at Yx was derived by subtracting AGR at baseline from Yx value. AGR was calculated each year and re scaled to 1 year if the interval between Yx and Y[x-1] was not 365 days, as long as a subject remained in the study. AGR at Yx was calculated using the previous height measurements (Y[x-1]) and height recorded at Yx (AGR Yx = [height Yx–height Y{x-1}] / ([date of Yx – date of Y{x-1}] /365.25). Yx refers to the value at particular timepoint x.

    Change From Baseline in Bone Age (BA) at Month 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60
    End point description
    BA was estimated locally using an X-ray from the left wrist and hand. FAS included all subjects (excluding a site with GCP issues) who had received at least 1 injection of GH and had at least 1 post-Baseline measurement of height. Here "n" signifies those subjects who were evaluable for the specified time point.

    End point description
    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs include both SAEs and non-SAEs. Safety analysis set included all subjects (including a site with GCP issues) who had received at least 1 study dose of GH.
