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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    •To determine the effect of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1)/recombinant human insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (rhIGFBP-3) on the severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) as compared to the severity of ROP in an untreated control population. •To evaluate the dose of rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3, administered by continuous intravenous (IV) infusion, required to reach and maintain a physiological range of serum IGF-1 of 28-109 microgram per liter (mcg/L), defined as the in utero levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) for corresponding gestational age (GA) in a normal population. •To determine serum concentrations of IGF-1 and associated pharmacokinetic parameters after continuous IV infusion of rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3.

    Severity of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) as Compared to the Severity of ROP in an Untreated Control Population
    End point description
    ROP was measured by central exams with fundus photography. Maximum severity of ROP stage across all retinal examinations included International Classification of Retinopathy of Prematurity, a 5 stage system, for the classification of ROP with 7 different outcomes of the ROP stage in each retinal examination: 0, 1, 2, 3, 3+, 4, and 5. This is an ordinal scale with higher numbers indicating a more severe outcome. Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized subjects who received the study drug and subjects in the control group who received Standard of Care.

A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. TEAE was defined as the onset of any AE or if the severity of a pre-existing AE worsened any time on or after the date of first dose of investigational product.
