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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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
    The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of the combination of EPO and TDI of CosmoFer® to the combination of EPO and oral Fe for the correction of anaemia and re-plenishment of Fe stores in patients with haematological malignancies by comparing the mean change in Hb g/dl levels from baseline to week eight.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To compare the safety of the combination of EPO and TDI of CosmoFer® to the com-bination of EPO and standard oral Fe for:
    The correction of anaemia in patients with haematological malignancies.
    The correction of anaemia in patients with haemato-logical malignancies by comparing the mean change in Hb g/dl levels from baseline to week two and four.
    The correction of anaemia in patients with haemato-logical malignancies by comparing number of erythroid responders (defined as an in-crease in Hb levels by at least 2 g/dL compared to baseline) after two, four, and eight weeks of treatment in the two treatment arms.
    The correction of anaemia in patients with haemato-logical malignancies by comparing other parameters of haemopoiesis (Hct, RTLCs, se-rum Fe, TSAT, serum Ferritin, MCH, MCHC, and MCV) after two, four and eight weeks of treatment in the two treatment arms.
