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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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.

To determine the effect of TAK-242 on the level of IL-10, procalcitonin PCT and C-reactive protein CRP . To evaluate the effects of TAK-242 on organ function cardiovascular, respiratory, hematologic, renal and hepatic as measured by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment SOFA score. To evaluate the safety of TAK-242 administration. To further characterize the pharmacokinetic PK profile of TAK-242 in sepsis patients.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Information not present in EudraCT
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Clinical evidence of infection defined as the presence of a known or probable source of infection requiring the initiation of parenteral antimicrobial therapy. Examples include presence of polymorphs in a normally sterile body fluid except blood , positive culture or Gram stain of a normally sterile body fluid, clinical focus of infection eg, fecal peritonitis, wound with purulent discharge, pneumonia or other clinical evidence of systemic infection eg, purpura fulminans . 2. The subject must meet at least 3 of the following 4 criteria for systemic inflammatory response syndrome SIRS . The events for this criterion must be related to the onset of sepsis and not attributable to an underlying disease process or the effects of concomitant therapy. - A core temperature of 38 C 100.4 F or 36 C 96.8 F . Core temperature is defined as rectal, central catheter, oral, tympanic or urinary temperature oral temperature is acceptable for high temperature but not for hypothermia, to be confirmed by core temperature . - Heart rate of 90 beats per minute. If subject has a known medical condition eg, heart block or is receiving treatment eg, beta blocker that would prevent tachycardia, only 2 of the remaining 3 criteria for SIRS must be met. - Respiratory rate of 20 breaths/min or PaCO2 of 32 mmHg requiring mechanical ventilation for the purpose of this study, mechanical ventilation is required with hyperventilation . - A total white blood cell WBC absolute count 12,000 cells/mm3 or 4,000 cells/mm3; or a WBC differential count showing 10 immature band forms. . The subject must have sepsis with shock and/or respiratory failure. The onset of shock or respiratory failure must be manifested 8804;36 hours prior to the initiation of study drug infusion. 1. Septic shock is defined as requiring the use of vasopressors i.e., norepinephrine, dopamine, phenylephrine, epinephrine, vasopressin for arterial hypotension, despite adequate fluid resuscitation for more than 1 hour, or adequate intravascular volume status. Dobutamine and dopexamine are not considered vasopressors. Arterial hypotension is defined as systolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg which is not the result of the subject.s underlying disease or treatment . Adequate fluid resuscitation or adequate intravascular volume status is defined as one or more of the following 1. pulmonary arterial wedge pressure at least 12 mm Hg, 2. central venous pressure of at least 8 mm Hg, or 3. if a pulmonary artery PA Swanz-Ganz catheter is not in place, vasopressor administration after unsuccessful fluid resuscitation. 2. Respiratory failure is defined as a ratio of PaO2 to FiO2 of 200 requiring mechanical ventilation. 4. The subject or the subject.s legally authorized representative has provided a written informed consent, or is able to understand verbal English or a language for which a certified translation of the approved informed consent is available.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. The subject is less than 18 years of age. 2. If female, the subject is pregnant or lactating. 3. The subject is receiving immunosuppressive therapy such as cyclosporine, azathioprine, or cancer-related chemotherapy. 4. The subject has a granulocyte count of less than 1000/mm3 except if the decreased count is believed to be due to sepsis. 5. The subject has documented or suspected acute myocardial infarction within the last 6 weeks prior to Pretreatment Period. 6. The subject has a documented history of moderate to severe chronic heart failure as defined by New York Heart Association NYHA Functional Classification III or IV. 7. The subject is known to be HIV positive with known CD4 count 8804;50/mm3 or has known end-stage processes eg, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, systemic mycobacterium avium complex infection . 8. The subject has known history of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase G6PD deficiency. 9. The subject has a methemoglobin level of 8805;5 at Pretreatment Period or has known history of methemoglobinemia. 10. The subject is moribund and death is considered imminent within 24 hours of recognition of sepsis . 11. The subject is classified as .Do Not Resuscitate. DNR or .Do Not Treat. or the subject.s family has not committed to aggressive management of the subject.s condition. 12. The subject is not expected to survive for 28 days and will not likely be given life support due to a pre-existing, uncorrectable medical condition. This would include subjects with, or suspected to have, poorly controlled neoplasm or other end-stage processes eg, end-stage cardiac disease, prior cardiac arrest within 2 weeks of Pretreatment Period, end-stage lung disease, end-stage liver disease, end-stage renal disease . Enrollment of subjects with known or suspected metastatic cancer must be approved by the Vanderbilt Coordinating Center VCC and documented before randomization. 13. The subject has known esophageal varices, chronic jaundice, cirrhosis, or chronic ascites. 14. The subject is in a chronic vegetative state or has a similar long-term neurological condition. 15. The subject has known portal hypertension or Child-Pugh hepatic impairment class C. 16. The subject has had acute third degree burns involving more than 30 of body surface within 120 hours prior to Pretreatment Period. 17. The subject has known hypersensitivity to sulfonamides. 18. The subject has known hypersensitivity to components of TAK-242; ie, is allergic to eggs, egg products, or soybeans. 19. The subject has participated in any other investigational study drug or device and/or taken any investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer, before initiation of the study drug infusion. 20. The subject is unwilling or the investigator feels the subject will be unable to be fully evaluated during the 28-day study period. 21. The subject is an employee of a study site or is an immediate family member eg, spouse, parent, child, sibling of a study site employee involved in the conduct of the study.
