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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    1) Pharmacokinetics:
    Blood samples will be collected prior to, during, and at specified times following dosing of study medication for determination of free TRX4 concentrations in serum. Using noncompartmental analyses, single dose parameters including Cinf, Cmax, tmax, AUC(0-z), AUC(0-∞), AUC(0-24h), CL, lambda-z, t1/2, and Vd will be calculated. In addition, pharmacokinetic linearity will be examined.

    2) Pharmacodynamics:
    Saturation and modulation of CD3 on the surface of circulating T cells, utilizing mean channel fluorescence as determined by flow cytometry, will be presented graphically by dose and time. Individual lymphocyte subset values will be presented graphically by dose and time based on two types of cell quantification, percent of baseline for each subset (as a percent) and percent of baseline for absolute cell count. Exploratory endpoints and other pharmacodynamic assessments will include: 1) C-reactive protein, 2) C-peptide levels, 3) exogenous insulin requirements, 4) HbA1c, 5) glycemic excursions, 6) hypoglycemic occurrences, and 7) tolerance induction mechanisms and/or markers. These data will be presented graphically by dose and time.

    3) Safety:
    Safety assessments will include: medical history; physical examination; monitoring for AE; concomitant medications; vital signs; 12-lead ECG; tests to measure orthostatic blood pressure; laboratory tests; cytokine levels; viral serology; viral load using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR); flow cytometric assessment of T cell and lymphocyte subsets (including B cell kappa/lambda ratio); serum and urine immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) and immunofixation (IF); and antiglobulin response to TRX4 (immunogenicity).
