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   43857   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 evaluate, in children presenting with atopic dermatitis, the impact of a daily treatment by the emollient V0034CR 01B on the disease symptoms: evolution of the POEM (Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure) score.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted according to Good Clinical Practices (CPMP/ICH/135/95), ICH E11, the Declaration of Helsinki and its subsequent amendments thereto and local legal regulations. Due to the absence of risk with the products and the study procedures, patients were allowed to participate to another clinical trial after study termination. The investigator registered side effects at each visit during clinical examination and questioning the parent(s)/guardian(s). At any time, if the patient's medical status required any other therapeutic (other that stated in protocol), the investigator could perform a final visit with a complete evaluation, then exclude the patient from the study and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
    Background therapy
    During disease exacerbation phases (presence of inflammatory lesions), a moderately potent corticosteroid cream (Locapred®, desonide 0.1%) was allowed, used as follows: - Locapred®: once a day (preferably in the evening) only on the lesions of the body and the face, Locapred® was used until complete resolution of the inflammatory signs. Conditions of use of Locapred® were explained to the parents. * When necessary, other treatments of atopic dermatitis signs/symptoms (antihistamines, antiseptics, zinc creams / ointments) were allowed and carefully notified. * Foaming gel Klorane® provided by the sponsor was allowed for children washing/cleansing.

    End point title
    Mean POEM (Patient -Oriented Eczema Mesure) score
    End point description
    The POEM score is a fully validated self or parental assessment of the frequency of the most bothering symptoms impacting the quality of life of the patient. The POEM score consists of 7 main symptoms: itchiness, dryness, skin-bleeding, skin weeping/oozing, sleep disturbance, skin flakes and cracks. Each symptom is scored on a five grade scale from 0 to 4, resulting a maximum score 28, where: - 0: no symptoms during the last week; - 1: one to two days of symptom's presence; - 2: three to four days of symptom's presence; - 3: five to six days of symptom's presence; - 4: everyday presence of the symptoms.

    Notes
    [1] - The initial POEM score was around 5.3/28 in both groups, which corresponds to atopic dermatitis of mild severity.
    [2] - The results of the primary analysis (MMRM) exhibited a difference in favour of the study drug (-0.34) but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.2343).
