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   44336   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    • To demonstrate the long-term efficacy of treatment with Org 50081, as compared to placebo, on sleep maintenance in patients with chronic primary insomnia as measured by the subjective Total Sleep Time.

    • To demonstrate the long-term efficacy of Org 50081 in improving sleep latency (SL),
    • To investigate the long term efficacy of Org 50081 on other sleep maintenance parameters WASO, NAW
    and on sleep quality and satisfaction with sleep duration.
    • To investigate the long-term safety and tolerability of Org 50081, as compared to placebo.
    • To investigate the effects of discontinuation of Org 50081 after long-term treatment.
    • To explore the effect of Org 50081 on functional and quality of life outcomes as compared to placebo.
