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   44335   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.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    To demonstrate that in patients with erectile dysfunction who have low or borderline baseline total testosterone levels, that Testim 50 mg Gel, indicated for male hypogonadism when testosterone deficiency has been confirmed, significantly improves the patient response to tadalafil (used to treat erectile dysfunction) using the Internal Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scale.
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) who are found to have low (<8 nmol/L or 231 ng/dL) or <borderline> (<12 nmol/L or 346 ng/dL) baseline total testosterone levels, Testim Gel significantly improves the patient response to tadalafil using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scale
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the safety of co-administering Testim Gel and tadalafil in the targeted patient population

    To identify putative predictive factors of Testim Gel efficacy in the target population such as baseline total testosterone levels, bioavailable testosterone levels and androgen receptor Cystine Alanine Guanine (CAG) repeat number
