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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of darunavir (DRV) in combination with low-dose ritonavir (RTV) administered twice daily at steady-state in children aged from 3 to less than (<) 6 years and weighing between 10 and < 20 kilogram (kg) and to support dose recommendation of DRV/rtv to be used in this population by comparing the DRV exposure achieved in these treatment-experienced HIV-1 infected children to that in HIV-1 infected adults and older children weighing more than (>)20 kg. This study also evaluated short-term safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of DRV/RTV administered twice daily and other ARVs in treatment-experienced children aged from 3 to < 6 years over a 2-week treatment period. In addition, the study also evaluated safety, tolerabiltiy and efficacy of DRV/rtv administered b.i.d. and other ARV agents over a 24-week treatment period at the recommended dose for HIV-1 infected children aged from 3 years to < 6 year
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety was monitored by means of Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) analysis. Safety evaluations for this study included the monitoring of adverse events, vital sign measurements, electrocardiogram (ECGs), physical examination, neurological examination and clinical laboratory tests (included biochemistry parameters).

    Screening details
    27 subjects were recruited and treated in this study; as Good Clinical Practice (GCP) requirements were not consistently adhered to at one site (involving 6 subjects), analyses were performed excluding the subjects from this site, resulting in 21 subjects used for analyses.

    Number of Subjects With Virological Response (Viral Load Less Than 50 Copies/mL) at Week 24 - Time to Loss of Virologic Response (TLOVR) [1]
    End point description
    The TLOVR algorithm was used to derive response, i.e., response and loss of response needed to be confirmed at 2 consecutive visits and subjects who permanently discontinued were considered non-responders after discontinuation. Subjects with intermittent missing viral load values were considered responders if the preceding and succeeding visits indicated response. In all other cases, intermittent values were imputed with nonresponse. Resuppression after confirmed virologic failure was considered as failure in this algorithm. Efficay population included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study medication.
