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.

    Chronic hepatitis B virus infection
    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 assess the safety of M04NM11 compared to placebo, when administered orally in escalating doses, of 108 CFU, 109 CFU and 1010 CFU, up to a maximum total of 6 doses, 28 days apart, over a 6 month period, to patients that are chronic carriers of the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the proportion of patients who are chronic carriers of HBV who experience a reduction in HBV DNA load during treatment with up to 6 doses of M04NM11. A decrease of ≥ 2 log10 or a reduction to < 104 copies/mL will be considered clinically significant.

    To explore whether any patients who are HBeAg positive become HBeAg negative over the course of the study.

    To explore whether any patients become anti-HBe positive during the study.

    To explore whether any patients experience a reduction in ALT levels to within the normal range.

    To explore whether any patients mount an immune response of a Th1 type by quantitation of antigen specific T cells that produce IFN-g to HBcAg as assessed by ELISPOT and intracellular cytokine staining.

    To evaluate the post treatment effects of M04NM11 in the 6-month period following completion of dosing.
