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   44157   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7327   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.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA).

    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.2 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.2Version 9.1
    E.1.2Level PT
    E.1.2Classification code 10052653
    E.1.2Term Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis gene carrier
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Comparison of the primary endpoint between the 50 mg tid talampanel group and the placebo group.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary study objectives are in line with the hierarchy principal according the following order:
    1. Comparison of the secondary endpoint between the 50 mg tid talampanel group and the placebo group
    2. Comparison of the primary endpoint between the 25 mg tid talampanel group and the placebo group
    3. Comparison of the secondary endpoint between the 25 mg tid talampanel group and the placebo group
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    All information on the ancillary studies appears in this protocol.

    Pharmacokinetics (PK)
    1. Pharmacokinetic analysis: characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of talampanel and its N-acetyl metabolite following multiple dosing in ALS patients
    2. Population PK analysis: population pharmacokinetic analysis will be done to assess covariates that affect exposure to talampanel and its N-acetyl metabolite
    3. PK/PD analysis: determine the relationship between exposure to talampanel and the pharmacodynamic response as measured by ALSFRS-R

    Pharmacogenetics
    Collect and store DNA samples for use in genetic analyses. Pharmacogenetic analysis will be performed to investigate the correlation between NAT2 genetic polymorphism with the response to talampanel, including pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, as well as safety parameters. The exploratory of other genetic markers related to the pharmacokinetic route of talampanel (e.g. CYP2C8) or to the drug mode of action might be also analyzed. DNA samples will be stored for 15 years for further pharmacogenetic analyses that might be performed in the future.

    11) Addiction to a drug or substance within the past year prior to screening.
    12) Any condition which the investigator feels may interfere with participation in the study.
    13) Subjects unable at time of the screening and baseline visits to comply with the planned schedule of study visits and study procedures.
