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   7293   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine whether there is evidence that either (or both) of the topical treatments are active, safe and feasible to use, and would therefore warrant further investigation in a phase III setting.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The IDMC reviewed the interim data approximately 6 months after the date of randomisation of the first participant. These analyses was carried out to safeguard the interests of trial participants, monitor the main outcome measures including safety and efficacy, and monitor the overall conduct of the trial. SAE reporting was done in real time according to regulatory requirements.
    Background therapy
    N/A
    Evidence for comparator
    Cidofovir is a nucleoside analogue with antiviral properties and proven activity in comparable disease (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia). In a pilot study of 15 women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia type 3, seven (47%) of 15 women had a complete response after topical application of the drug. In a pilot study of cidofovir for vulval intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3, four (40%) of ten women had a complete response at the end of follow-up. Imiquimod is a drug that modifies the immune response. In previous small studies of topical imiquimod (n≤15), a complete response was reported in 28 (41%) of 67 women with vulval intraepithelial neoplasia, but with substantial variation among studies (0–73%).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    180 female participants were recruited from 32 UK sites between 21 Oct 2009 and 11 Jan 2013.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Potential participants were given a copy of the PIS and signed a copy of the Consent Form before the screening assessments were carried out to confirm their eligibility. The screening assessments included: Medical history, Assessment of toxicities, Clinical assessment of lesions, Urinalysis, and Pregnancy test (in women with childbearing potential)

    Arm title
    Imiquimod
    Arm description
    Imiquimod (5% concentration) was supplied in boxes of 12 individual sachets (one sachet per application). Imiquimod was applied three times a week for a period of 24 weeks, unless a complete response was observed earlier. A thin layer was spread over the whole affected area at night and the area was washed using aqueous cream and water the following day. Imiquimod was taken from commercial stock. However, as it was used outside of its licensed indication, separate labels were added to the boxes of imiquimod before being dispensed to the sites.

    Arm description
    Cidofovir was supplied in a 10g tube (1% concentration) containing a six week supply. It was manufactured in a topical formulation by St Marys Pharmaceutical Unit (SMPU), who dispensed the tubes of gel to the local pharmacies. Participants applied Cidofovir three times a week for a period of 24 weeks, unless a complete response was observed earlier. A thin layer was spread to cover the affected area at night and the area was washed using aqueous cream and water the following day.
