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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 evaluate therapeutic benefit by comparing the efficacy defined as the proportion of patients with treatment failure (biopsy proven acute rejection, graft loss or death) at 6 month post transplant in de novo renal transplant recipients treated with an initially intensified Myfortic dosing regimen versus a standard Myfortic dosing regimen. In order to obtain the number of patients needed to achieve this objective, a prospective meta-analysis will be performed by combining data from this study with the data from study CERL080ADE12.
    Valutare l'efficacia di un dosaggio inizialmente intensificato di Myfortic, in confronto con un dosaggio standard di Myfortic, in pazienti con trapianto di rene de novo. L'efficacia e' definita come percentuale di pazienti con rigetto acuto confermato da biopsia, perdita del trapianto o decesso a 6 mesi dal trapianto. I dati del presente studio verranno uniti con quelli dello studio pilota CERL080ADE12, in una meta-analisi prospettica, allo scopo di ottenere un numero di pazienti consono agli obiettivi prefissati.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To compare treatment failure (defined as BPAR, GFL, death) at days 21 and 84 posttransplantation • To compare renal function as assessed by serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate. • To compare the overall safety between the two treatment regimens including AEs, infections and SAEs, • To compare safety/tolerability as the proportion of patients with Myfortic dose reductions and interruptions due to adverse events (AEs), within 6 months posttransplantation.
    •Confrontare tra gruppi l'incidenza di insuccesso del trattamento,definito da presenza di rigetto acuto confermato da biopsia (BPAR),perdita del trapianto o decesso,21 e 84 giorni dopo il trapianto.•Confrontare tra gruppi la funzionalita` renale,valutata mediante determinazione della creatininemia e calcolo della velocita` di filtrazione glomerulare.•Confrontare tra gruppi la sicurezza globale dei due regimi di trattamento in base agli eventi avversi,eventi avversi seri ed infezioni.•Confrontare tra gruppi la percentuale di pazienti con riduzione del dosaggio di Myfortic o con interruzione della somministrazione di Myfortic a causa di eventi avversi,nei primi 6 mesi dopo il trapianto.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The aim of the study is to confirm the hypothesis that an initially intensified dosing regimen of mycophenolic acid administered as Myfortic during the first 6 weeks post transplantation will provide therapeutical benefit as compared to a standard dosing regimen of Myfortic, and is as safe and well-tolerated as the standard dosing regimen of Myfortic.
    Lo scopo del presente studio e' dimostrare, in un adeguato numero di pazienti, che un dosaggio inizialmente intensificato di Myfortic e' piu' efficace rispetto al dosaggio standard di Myfortic, ed e' altrettanto sicuro e ben tollerato
