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.

    Efficacy and safety of NEBIDO in men with symptomatic late onset hypogonadism (SLOH) as characterized in the protocol inclusion criteria:

    To assess the change from baseline in lean body mass after 54 weeks of treatment with NEBIDO compared to placebo, measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).

    Safety parameters

    • Clinical laboratory evaluations (i.e. FBC, creatinine, glucose, potassium, calcium and HbA1c) vital signs, physical examination findings, and other observations related to safety e.g. DRE and IPSS
    • Standard laboratory tests for androgen treatment: prostate specific antigen (PSA); hemoglobin; hematocrit,
    • Laboratory tests for lipids (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and Triglycerides) and liver function tests (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine transaminase [ALT])
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the:
    • Change from baseline in total body mass, measured by DEXA

    • Change from baseline in bone mineral density, measured by DEXA
    • Aging Male Symptoms (AMS) rating scale ( Total score)
    • Aging Male Symptoms (AMS) rating scale (sexual function sub domain)
    • International Index of Erectile Function- erectile function domain (IIEF-EF)
    • Change in serum levels of testosterone (central laboratory)
    • Change in waist circumference
