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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to characterize the dose response relationship of candesartan cilexetil (administered once daily) in hypertensive pediatric subjects (1 to <6 years of age) by evaluation of the slope of the linear regression for the change in trough systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline (Day 0) to the end of the 4-week, double-blind treatment period (Day 28) as a function of dose.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study ICI and the AstraZeneca Study Physician reviewed and discussed each SAE. In addition, an independant pediatric hypertension expert not otherwise participating in the study reviewed all SAEs, Aes and Aes leading to discontinuation of study drug.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study population included male and female participants 1 to <6 years of age with mild to moderate hypertension. The participants were recruited during the time period from 04 November 2004 to 07 August 2008 at pediatric clinics in the USA, Puerto Rico and Europe.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    One to 2 weeks following a screening evaluation, participants underwent a 1-week, single-blind, placebo run-in period to reduce the variability in the baseline blood pressure measurements and to stabilize any concurrent antihypertensive medications.
