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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. The presence of permanent severe diseases (cardiac, renal or respiratory failure), especially those affecting the immune system, except ACU.

    2. The presence of a permanent gastrointestinal condition which may influence the oral therapy (chronic diarrhoea diseases, congenital malformations or surgical mutilations of gastrointestinal tract).

    4. Presence of active cancer which requires chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

    5. Presence of acute urticaria.

    6. Presence of lactose and galactose intolerance or with glucose-galactose malabsorption

    7. Simultaneous physical urticaria that could interfere ACU clinical assessment, i.e.severe cholinergic urticaria or dermographism.

    8. Simultaneous chronic urticaria that could interfere with ACU clinical assessment.

    9. Vasculitis, urticaria vasculitis or cryoglobulinemia.

    10. Intake of antihistamines or leukotriene antagonists within 7 days prior to the beginning of the study.

    14. Currently abusing drugs or alcohol (> 30 gr/day; or > 1/2 drinks/day for females/males, defined according to USDA Dietary Guidelines 2000) or with a history of drug or alcohol abuse within the past two years

    15. Unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol or to cooperate fully with the principal investigator and site personnel

    16. Has taken any other investigational drug during the 4 weeks prior to screening visit

    17. Has any condition(s) that in the investigator’s opinion would: a) warrant exclusion from the study or b) prevent the subject from completing the study

    18. Unable to understand the verbal and/or written informed consent.

    19. History of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to rupatadine or any other antihistamine compounds.

    20. Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
