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   44337   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7367   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 assess the efficacy of TRO19622 330 milligrams (mg) once daily as add-on therapy to riluzole 50 mg twice daily in the treatment of participants suffering from ALS as compared to placebo, assessed by the overall survival at 18 months.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This protocol complied with the principal laid down by the 18th World Medical Assembly (Helsinki, 1964 an following amendments) and all applicable amendments laid down by the World Medical Assemblies, as well as the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. The trial complied with the laws and regulations of the country in which the study was performed, and any applicable guidelines.

    		 Overall Survival (OS) [1]
    End point description
    OS was calculated as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death or last follow-up at 18 months (or 548 days). Kaplan-Meier estimate was used for analysis. Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants irrespective of whether study medication was administered, and regardless of eligibility status. Here, ‘99999’ represents data were not estimable as median value had not been reached in either of the treatment arms at 18 months.

    ALS FRS-R scale is a validated rating instrument for monitoring the progression of disability in ALS participants. Participants were asked to rate their functions for the following 12 parameters each on the scale of 0-4 (higher score indicated normal function): speech, salivation, swallowing, handwriting, cutting food and handling utensils, dressing and hygiene, turning in bed and adjusting bed clothes, walking, climbing stairs, dyspnea, orthopnea, respiratory insufficiency. Global score was the sum of individual scores and ranged from 0-48 (higher score indicated normal function). Time to ALS FRS-R global score <30 or death was reported.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    07 Feb 2010
    Introduced to implement a validated method of administering study treatments for participants with swallowing difficulties. The method involves administration via the gastrostomy tube to increase participant’s comfort and avoid complications associated with swallowing difficulties. The method was verified with treating centers and validated by a steering committee. It was not expected to influence pharmacokinetic parameters.
    22 Apr 2010
    Introduced to ensure investigators collected maximum data in the event of premature participant withdrawal for a reason other than death.
    06 Dec 2010
    A modification of the text was made to ensure agreement between the specified analysis and the analysis method used to calculate the sample size and power calculation. The term “18 month survival rate” was thus replaced with “overall survival”.
