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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate superior renal function at 6 months post-transplant in de novo renal transplant recipients who receive myfortic® and reduced tacrolimus levels (Group A) compared to those who receive myfortic® and reference tacrolimus levels (Group B) as measured by calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR, Nankivell). Patients will also receive Simulect® (basiliximab) and corticosteroids as concomitant immunosuppressant therapy.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives are to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the combination of myfortic®, Simulect®, and corticosteroids with reduced levels of tacrolimus (Group A) versus reference levels of tacrolimus (Group B).
