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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that Suboxone is not inferior to Subutex as measured by response rate by the Day 7 Visit. The response rate will be assessed by determining the proportion of subjects in each group who do not receive a dose increase during the double-blind and double-dummy phase.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives of this study will assess the overall clinical response to Subutex or Suboxone by comparing the response of subjects switched to Suboxone with the response of those who remain on Subutex on the following measures: 1) illicit opioid and non-opioid drug use as measured by urine drug screening (UDS), 2) illicit opioid and non-opioid drug use as measured by self-report on the Substance Use Inventory (SUI), 3) self-reported opioid withdrawal symptoms as measured by the Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale (SOWS), 4) addiction-related problem profiles as measured by the Addiction Severity Index (ASI)–Lite, 5) compliance rate, 6) treatment retention, and 7) time to dose increase as measured by the number of days until a dose increase was received. The frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) will also be assessed. The extent and type of concomitant medications used will be summarized descriptively.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Subjects must be males or non-pregnant, non-lactating females.

    2. Subjects must be at least 15 years of age, of either sex, and any race.

    3. Subjects (and/or the parent or guardian for subjects under the age of legal consent or who otherwise are unable to provide independent consent) must demonstrate willingness to participate in the study and to adhere to dose and visit schedules.

    4. Subjects must meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for opioid dependence.

    5. Subjects must have been receiving maintenance treatment with Subutex at doses ranging from 4 mg to the maximum dose permitted by country labeling requirements, but not to exceed 24 mg/day, for at least 1 month prior to screening.

    6. Subjects must not, according to self-report, have injected opioids more than four times in the month prior to screening.

    7. Subjects must have an opioid-negative UDS result prior to randomization.

    8. Each subject must confirm that he or she is practicing adequate contraception. Female volunteers of childbearing potential (including women who are less than 1 year postmenopausal and women who will be sexually active during the study) must agree to use a medically accepted method of contraception or must be surgically sterilized prior to screening, while receiving protocol-specified medication, and for 30 days after stopping the medication. Women who have been postmenopausal for greater than or equal to 1 year (ie, women who have experienced 12 or more consecutive months of amenorrhea) will be exempted from the requirement to use contraception during the study. Acceptable methods of contraception include condoms (male and female) with or without a spermicidal agent, diaphragm or cervical cap with a spermicidal agent, medically prescribed intrauterine device, oral or injectable hormonal contraceptives, and surgical sterilization (eg, hysterectomy or tubal ligation).

    9. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine beta–human chorionic gonadotropin (Beta-hCG) test prior to enrollment in the study.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Subjects for whom treatment with either Subutex or Suboxone as required in the protocol would be inconsistent with national labeling.

    2. Subjects who are unwilling or unable to comply with the requirements of the protocol (eg, pending incarceration) or are in a situation or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with participation in the study.

    3. Subjects who are participating in any other clinical study in which medication(s) are being delivered.

    4. Subjects with known allergy or sensitivity to naloxone.

    5. Subjects who are on the staff, affiliated with, or a family member of the staff personnel directly involved with this study.

    6. Subjects must not have serious untreated Axis I DSM-IV-TR psychiatric co-morbidity (eg, those who are actively suicidal or homicidal, have untreated schizophrenia, etc). Polysubstance abuse or dependence will not exclude subjects except in the case of unauthorized and significant benzodiazepine use requiring medical detoxification or alcohol dependence requiring medical detoxification.

    7. HIV-positive subjects with clinical acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

    8. Subjects treated with generic buprenorphine.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy endpoint is the response rate by Day 7 to treatment assignment, which will be assessed by determining the proportion of subjects in each group who do not receive a dose increase during the double-blind and double-dummy phase.
