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
    Primary objectives
    1. Test which measures or combination of measures, selected for their likelihood of tapping the domain of sexual desire broadly, best detect acute changes in sexual desire in women who have no sexual dysfunction vs. those reporting HSDD.
    2. Test sensitivity and precision of these measures for detecting desire changes in response to a selected agent with past evidence of causing acute changes in sexual desire/arousal.
    3. Test the Acute Female Sexual Desire Scale for its ability to summarize sexual arousal changes occurring in the laboratory setting and outside.


    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary objectives
    1. Begin to develop subtypes of sexual desire problems in women, particularly ‘general’ and ‘partner specific’.
    2. Examine differences between pre and postmenopausal women regarding the usefulness of each measure or combination of measures to detect desire changes.
    3. Examine differences, consistencies between lab experience and following 24 hours in terms of sexual desire and behaviour.
    4. Predict those women who are desire ‘responders’ in the lab, using demographic, hormonal status (per lab values) and selected sexuality variables.
    5. Study test-retest reliability by calculating correlations between the first and second visit and third and fourth visit for the primary objectives

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Inclusion criteria for all women are: being in a stable relationship; being in general good health; having a hetero- or bisexual orientation; using a reliable form of contraception.
    Inclusion criteria for HSDD women are: aged between 18-45 (premenopausal) and 50-65 (postmenopausal), minimally 6 months complaints of HSDD; HSDD participants may also be experiencing arousal and orgasm problems (except for sexual pain problems), but the HSDD must be the primary problem. Inclusion-criterion for SF women is: aged between 18-45 (premenopausal); no sexual complaints during the past 6 months
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Exclusion criteria for all women are: medications that would interfere with sexual functioning; illness or disease interfering with sexual functioning (including diabetes, cancer in the past 5 years); active depression, pregnancy or the intent to become pregnant; sexual problems in the woman’s partner, that make sexual activity impossible; postmenopausal women on hormone replacement therapy; vaginal procedures that might interfere with vaginal vascularisation and/or innervation of vaginal tissue.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Level of sexual desire as assessed with questionnaires and tasks during which participants have to judge sexual stimuli. Reaction times and number of errors as assessed with implicit tasks. Genital arousal responses (VPA) as assessed with vaginal photoplethysmograpy and subjective ratings of sexual arousal as assessed with questions while being exposed to sexual stimuli. Acoustic Startle Reflex (ASR) as measure for approach to/avoidance of sexual stimuli. Additionally, the effects of testosterone gel on abovementioned variables will be measured in women with HSDD.
