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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    End point title
    30% reduction in mean “average pain” score [1]
    End point description
    Only 25% of EM phenotypes (AS 1. 1.5 and 2) reached ≥30% reduction in mean “average pain” in the last 24 hours measured on a 0-10 NRS scale when compare to baseline and categorised as a codeine responder.

    Primary
    End point timeframe
    the last 24 hours measured on a 0-10 NRS scale when compare to baseline and categorised as a codeine responder.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Feb 2010
    Addition of poster advert, no change to protocol. Approved poster placed in Pain Clinics to aid study awareness and improve study accrual
    08 Dec 2011
    Removal of oral transudate testing. Interim analysis conducted on 20 oral transudate samples to assess phenotyping suitability. Analysis confirmed this method ineffective at predicting CYP2D6 phenotypes and removed from study design.
    14 Aug 2012
    Change to inclusion criteria. To allow potential participants to be recruited who have daily worse pain either equal to or greater than 4/10 on Numerical Rating Scale (such as the BPI), but whose average daily pain may be lower than 4/10. Patients commented to the research team that due to the nature of their chronic pain they find it difficult to average out their daily pain score. Therefore by using the worst pain score in the last 24 hours these patients would be able to be included in the study. This change will have no detrimental effect on the study or the data as the primary endpoint is the pain scores to determine the proportion of patients who are non-responders to codeine. The definition of a non-responder will remain a patient who does not display a reduction in pain scores of 30% or more over the course of 5 days.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The age breakdown for all participants in sections 1 & 3 were not available at the time of upload, as all members of the research team have left LTHT . Should this information become available, this will be added to the record.
