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.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 May 2004
    Amendment 1 included the following changes to the original protocol: • Changes were made to the inclusion criteria • A description of the differential diagnosis was added • The randomization method was changed • The type of blood sampling tubes for the diagnostic purpose and immunogenicity analyses were changed • The cleaved C1INH, C4b/c and PAP complex assays were removed • Amylase was added to the routine biochemistry measurements • The Time 20 minutes time point on Day 1 was changed to 45 minutes • The schedule of assessments was updated • An independent data monitoring committee was formed • The last question in the VAS was updated • Additional minor corrections and clarifications.
    23 Oct 2006
    • Changes were made to the method of preparation and administration of the study drug • Additional Investigator sites were added • The follow up window was made larger • The AE section was updated to include text that conformed to European regulations • In addition some administrative changes were made.
    16 Nov 2006
    • The discharge criteria were changed to allow patients to be discharged between 4 and 12 hours after treatment if they had no or minimal symptoms • An OLE to the study was added to allow patients who had been treated for a previous attack to be treated again • Day 7 was removed from the study • Treatment with plasma-derived C11NH or fresh frozen plasma was changed so that it was only not allowed within 7 days prior to treatment with rhC1INH compared to the 2 weeks in the original protocol.
    10 May 2007
    An interim analysis was added. The interim analysis was to be conducted once 26 patients had been treated.
    03 Aug 2007
    The IDMC concluded that “continuation of the trial in view of the current interim analysis is not appropriate and we would support a decision of Pharming to discontinue the trial”. Therefore the Sponsor stopped the randomized, Saline-controlled arm of the trial. The open label-treatment extension of the study was continued for all eligible patients to collect additional safety data. Open-label treatment was extended to all of the screened patients meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria.

    Interruptions (globally)
