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   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the effect of FTY720 relative to placebo on delaying the time to sustained disability progression. Sustained disability progression is defined based on three types of events for each subject: 3-month sustained increase of at least 20% from Baseline in the timed 25-foot walk test (25’TWT) or 3-month sustained increase from Baseline in the EDSS score (1 point in patients with baseline EDSS score 3.5 to 5.0; 0.5 point in patients with baseline EDSS score of 5.5 or 6.0) or 3-month sustained increase of at least 20% from Baseline in the 9-hole peg test (9-HPT)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the effect of FTY720 relative to placebo on delaying the time to 3-month sustained disability progression as measured by the EDSS To evaluate the effect of FTY720 relative to placebo on the time to 3-month sustained disability progression as measured by the 25’TWT To evaluate the effect of FTY720 relative to placebo on the time to 3-month sustained disability progression as measured by the 9-HPT Other secondary objectives To evaluate the safety and tolerability of FTY720 compared to placebo in patients with PPMS To evaluate the effect of FTY720 relative to placebo on conventional MRI parameters (inflammatory disease activity, disease burden, brain atrophy) To evaluate the effect of FTY720 relative to placebo on patient reported outcomes To assess the pharmacokinetics of FTY720 and FTY720-P in patients with PPMS and evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship for main efficacy and safety outcomes
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
