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.

    The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of quetiapine IR (Immediate Release), over 14 days, in subjects with acute schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, following rapid titration versus conventional titration up to a maximum daily dose of 800 mg.

    The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of quetiapine IR, in subjects with acute schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, following rapid titration versus conventional titration, by assessment of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) at Day 7.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives of the study are:

    1. To compare the efficacy of quetiapine IR, following rapid titration versus conventional titration, by assessment of PANSS at Day 5 and 14.

    2. To compare the efficacy of quetiapine IR, following rapid titration versus conventional titration, by evaluation of PANSS excitatory subscale (PANSS-EC) at Day 5, 7 and 14.

    3. To compare the efficacy of quetiapine IR, following rapid titration versus conventional titration, by evaluation of PANSS negative, positive and general subscales at Day 5, 7 and 14.

    4. To compare the efficacy of quetiapine IR, following rapid titration versus conventional titration, by assessment of Clinical Global Impression – Severity (CGI-S) and Clinical Global Impression – Improvement (CGI-I) at Day 5, 7 and 14.

    5. To compare the tolerability of quetiapine IR, following rapid titration versus conventional titration, by assessment of vital signs and the frequency and severity of adverse events.
