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   44234   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7336   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate non-inferior efficacy of a single dose of clotrimazole 500 milligram (mg) vaginal ovule compared to a single dose of clotrimazole 500 mg vaginal tablet at visit 2 (10-14 days post-application), in terms of overall response defined as clinical cure and mycological cure.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All clinical work conducted in this study was subjected to the rules of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and under the guidelines of Declaration of Helsinki. These practices include the following areas: Institutional review board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee procedures, informed consent, protocol adherence, administrative documents, drug supply accountability, data collection, subject records (source documents), adverse event (AE) recording and reporting, inspection and records retention. The subjects’ records were kept confidential and were insured by the sponsor.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study was conducted between 18 September 2008 and 27 May 2009 at 18 centers from 2 countries; Germany (11 centers) and Russia (7 centers).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    At screening/baseline, clinical symptoms (itching, burning/irritation, discharge, dysuria) and signs (vaginal edema, erythema and excoriation, and vulval edema, erythema and excoriation) of vaginitis were assessed and a mycological testing was performed.

    Allocation method

    Single blind
    Roles blinded
    Investigator [1]
    Blinding implementation details
    Packages distributed to the subjects were not distinguished by the investigator. Only the randomization code for each subject was supplied to each investigator in sealed envelopes. The code was kept in a secure place at the study sites and at the sponsor. The code was only to be broken in case of an emergency. Once all data had been quality controlled and the data were accepted for final analysis after the blind data meeting, the database was locked and the randomization code was broken.

    Notes
    [1] - The roles blinded appear inconsistent with a simple blinded trial.
    Justification: Study medication could not be blinded, therefore an investigatorblinded design was chosen in order not to bias the clinical evaluation of symptoms and signs.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Not all the enrolled subjects were treated with study drugs. As baseline only included treated subjects, the worldwide number enrolled in the trial differs with the number of subjects reported in the baseline period.
