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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this study was to monitor short children born SGA who participated in study EP00-401 for the development of diabetes for a further 10 years after termination of rhGH treatment and to report the incidence of anti-rhGH antibodies (ADA) for 6 months after termination of rhGH treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    130 participants signed informed consent. Of the 130 enrolled subjects, 11 subjects had no post-baseline visit, leading to exclusion from the SAF/FAS. Another subject was excluded as he received treatment with Omnitrope, which was not consistent with the protocol. Accordingly, 118 subjects comprised the SAF and in the FAS

    Supportive to Primary Endpoint. HOMA = homeostasis model assessment for Insulin resistance: Healthy Range: 1.0 (0.5–1.4). < 1.0 means you are insulin-sensitive which is optimal. >1.9 indicates early insulin resistance. > 2.9 indicates significant insulin resistance. The quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) measures insulin sensitivity, which is the inverse of insulin resistance. The QUICKI calculation for insulin resistance in humans fall broadly within a range between 0.45 for unusually healthy individuals and 0.30 in diabetics. Lower numbers reflect greater insulin resistance.
