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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To prove the local analgesic effect of a new formulation of Benzydamine Hydrochloride (BZD) (CAM2028) over at least six hours after single dosing in subjects with oral mucositis.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and the statement of informed consent were approved in Bulgaria by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) prior to each centre's initiation. The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and its revisions as well as with the valid local and national law(s) of Bulgaria, with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Harmonised Tripartite Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) (E6) issued in July 1996, and with the Commission Directives 2001/20/EC, 2005/28/EC and 2001/83/EC. Written Informed Consent was received from all subjects prior to enrolment into the trial, as dictated by the Declaration of Helsinki.

    Dose was 1 mL + 1 mL with 5 min interval between the 2 doses; 30 mg/g BZD (28.2 mg/mL). One mL of the liquid trial medication was administered into the subject's mouth with a syringe. The subject was to swirl the trial medication around in his or her mouth for approximately 15 seconds to achieve spreading throughout the mouth and then was to spit out any residual formulation. This procedure was repeated after 5 minutes.

    Pain intensity difference (PID) at 6 h after dosing assessed using the 0- 10 Likert pain score [1]
    End point description
    The primary variable for this trial was the change in oromucosal pain during six hours after dosing. Data on pain scores were collected using an 11 point Likert pain scale (0=No pain, 10 = Worst possible pain). The subject received a subject diary in which he/she noted the pain score.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: All tests were two-sided with a significance level of 5%. The efficacy parameters were summarised for per protocol set, full analysis set, and each centre for the full analysis set if the centre x treatment interaction was significant. The primary efficacy hypothesis was a confirmatory analysis. Adjustment of alpha-value was not applied.
