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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Muscle strength intensity, as defined by the BMRC and modified by Cherin (Cherin et al., 1994), which assigns the grades 0 to 11 to indicate the level of muscle power in 8 muscle groups (neck flexors, trapezius, deltoid, biceps, psoas, maximus and medius gluteus, and quadriceps). BMRC index will be determined by an independent physician/physiotherapist masked to treatment allocation and study visits. Treatment response will be defined as an improvement from baseline of BMRC score at the end of Period I (84 days or earlier in case of significant deterioration as described above) as follows:- Patients with baseline BMRC score between 24 and 40 included: at least 18 points improvement, i.e. an average improvement of more than 2 grades / muscle group (i.e. from patients having contraction with moving initiation to patients having at least moving in the plan).- Patients with baseline BMRC score between 40.5 and 56 included: at least 12 points improvement, i.e. an average improvement of at least 1.5 grades / muscle group (i.e. from patients having moving initiation in the plan, to patients having at least moving against gravity).- Patients with baseline BMRC score between 56.5 and 72 included: at least 8 points improvement, i.e. an average improvement of at least 1 grade / muscle group (i.e. from patients having an incomplete moving against gravity to patients having at least a moving initiation against resistance). Patients prematurely switched from Period I to Period II for BMRC index aggravation will be considered as non-responders.
    Intensita` della forza muscolare, cosi` come e` definita dal British Medical Research Council o BMRC e modificata dal Prof. Cherin (Cherin e Al, 1994), che attribuisce gradi da 0 a 11 a seconda del livello della forza muscolare di 8 gruppi muscolari (flessori del collo, trapezio, deltoide, bicipite, psoas, grande e medio gluteo e quadricipite). Il punteggio BMRC sara` determinato da un medico/fisioterapista indipendente che non conosce ne` il trattamento assegnato al paziente, ne` la visita dello studio. La risposta al trattamento sara` definita da un aumento del punteggio di base del BMRC alla fine del Periodo I (84 giorni o anticipatamente in caso di deterioramento significativo come descritto in precedenza) come segue:* Per i pazienti con un punteggio BMRC rispetto ai dati di base compreso tra 24 e 40 (estremi inclusi): 18 punti di miglioramento, ad es., un miglioramento medio di oltre 2 punti per gruppo muscolare (ad esempio: passaggio della fase di pazienti che hanno una contrazione con un inizio di movimento, alla fase dei pazienti che hanno almeno un movimento nel piano)* Per i pazienti che hanno un punteggio BMRC rispetto ai dati di base compreso tra 40.5 e 56 (estremi inclusi): 12 punti di miglioramento, ad es., un miglioramento medio di 1,5 punti per gruppo muscolare (ad esempio: passaggio della fase dei pazienti che hanno un inizio di movimento nel piano, alla fase del paziente che ha almeno un movimento contro la gravita`)* Per i pazienti che hanno un punteggio BMRC rispetto ai dati di base tra 56.5 e 72 (estremi inclusi): 8 punti di miglioramento, ad es., un miglioramento medio di almeno 1 punto per gruppo muscolare (ad es.: passaggio della fase dei pazienti che hanno un movimento incompleto contro la gravita`, alla fase del paziente che ha almeno un inizio di movimento contro la resistenza).I pazienti che passeranno prematuramente dal periodo I al periodo II a causa di un aggravarsi dell`indice BMRC saranno considerati come non rispondenti.
