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   44311   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7356   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 compare the efficacy of palifermin relative to placebo when given either pre- and post-high dose chemotherapy or pre- high dose chemotherapy only with regard to the severity of oral mucositis (WHO grades 0/ 1, 2, 3 or 4)
    Primary Cataract Evaluation Objectives:
    To assess cataract development or progression at month 12 based on an increase of ≥ 0.3 in the Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) score for either posterior subcapsular cataract (P), cortical cataract (C), or nuclear opalescence (NO) (Chylack LT et al 1993).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the effect of palifermin on the incidence and duration of ulcerative oral mucositis (WHO grades 2, 3 and 4) and of severe mucositis (WHO grades 3 and 4)
    To evaluate the impact of palifermin on patient-reported mouth and throat soreness (MTS)
    Cataract Eval Objectives - To assess:
    -effect of palifermin on the change of posterior subcapsular cataract (P) using the Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) score.
    -effect of palifermin on the change of cortical cataract (C) using the Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) score.
    -effect of palifermin on the change of nuclear opalescence (NO) using the Lens opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) score.
    -effect of palifermin on the incidence of decreased best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from the baseline BCVA on the ETDRS (“Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study”) chart, (Ferris III FL et al 1982, Ferris III FL et al 1993, Ferris III FL et al, 1996, Ferris III FL, Sperduto RD 1982).

    Cataract specific:
    • History of cataract surgery in both eyes
    • Incapable of being responsive to midriatic agents (minimum of approximately a 6
    mm pupil required)
    • History of other ocular disease leading to visual loss (e.g., macular degeneration,
    glaucoma, corneal disease) that would make assessment of visual status difficult
    • Subject is scheduled to undergo cataract surgery
    • Subject with any disease, that in the opinion of the ophthalmologist, could
    adversely effect the subject’s vision during the course of the study
    E.5 End points
