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   43977   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7312   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 assess the effect of aliskiren compared to placebo on change in central retina thickness (CRT), measured by
    optical coherence tomography (OCT), from the baseline thickness in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, after
    12 weeks of treatment.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the effect of aliskiren on BCVA in terms of change from baseline in no. of letters correctly identified at
    12 weeks;-on BCVA in terms of the proportion of patients with a ≥ 15 letter gain or loss on BCVA at 12 weeks
    from baseline.
    To investigate relationship between change in macular edema and change in the RAS and angiogenic biomarkers.
    To assess effect of aliskiren on the percent of change in central retina thickness measured by optical coherence
    tomography from the baseline thickness that is above the lower limit of normal retina thickness in patients with
    type 1 or type 2 diabetes, after 12 weeks of treatment.
    To assess effect of aliskiren on change from baseline in central retinal thickness in terms of the proportion of
    patients with a ≥ 75 micron decrease in CRT or a return to normal CRT, defined as no evidence of DME on OCT
    and a CRT of ≤ 245 microns at 12 weeks from baseline.
