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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 primary objective of this study was to describe the long-term clinical experience of candesartan cilexetil in hypertensive children ages 1 to <11 years who had participated in Protocol 328 (D2451C00002) without discontinuation due to a study drug-related AE, and who had an ongoing clinical indication for treatment with candesartan cilexetil.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study ICI and the AstraZeneca Study Physician reviewed and discussed each SAE. In addition, an independent pediatric hypertension expert not otherwise participating in the study reviewed all SAEs, AEs, and AEs leading to discontinuation (DAEs) of the study drug. The safety committee consisting of the ICI and the independent expert met 3 times; minutes from the meetings are archived with the sponsor.

    Mean change from baseline to final visit in systolic blood pressure (SBP). [1]
    End point description
    Blood pressure response was defined as Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) less than the 95th percentile based on population height-adjusted charts for age and gender. Response rates were based on the proportion of patients meeting the criteria at each evaluation time point or the last available measure.
    End point type

    End point timeframe
    Every 3 months- baseline to final visit
    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: No statistical analyses in the sense of hypothesis testing were carried out for the primary endpoints.
