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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To determine the minimum effective dose MED of DEBIO-025 in a 4 week treatment course of daily oral DEBIO-025 combined with once weekly 180 g PEGASYS pegylated interferon alfa-2a injections in chronically HCV infected treatment na ve patients that shows an additive anti-HCV effect when compared to PEGASYS 180 g weekly monotherapy.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To demonstrate that an effective and well tolerated dose of oral DEBIO-025 combined with 180 g weekly PEGASYS has an additive effect on HCV viral load reduction compared to the same dose of DEBIO-025 monotherapy. To evaluate the safety of the daily oral DEBIO-025 and weekly injected 180 g PEGASYS combination therapy. To establish in a subset of patients at least n 6/treatment group, minimum total 30 patients the pharmacokinetic PK profile of DEBIO-025 and PEGASYS as single agents and in combination to explore potential drug interactions.
