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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 demonstrate that Intrathecal Baclofen Therapy (ITB) Therapy, compared to Best Medical Treatment (BMT), has superior efficacy in the treatment of severe spasticity in adult post-stroke patients with generalized spastic hypertonia who have not reached their therapy goal with other treatment interventions assessed by a decrease in the average Ashworth Scale (AS) score in the lower extremities.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Following the 6 week post-implant visit, oral antispastic medications may be prescribed as rescue medication for patients enrolled in the ITB Therapy® treatment arm. Investigators may consider using rescue medication when there is a significant deterioration of the clinical picture with an increase in painful spasticity and inability to control symptoms. Rescue medications are not deemed necessary for patients enrolled in the BMT treatment arm as these patients are on oral antispastic medication throughout the study and these medications may be adjusted per clinical practice. Patients in both arms of the study received physiotherapy for their post-stroke spasticity.
    Background therapy
    The purpose of the the study was to compare ITB Therapy with Best Medical Treatment (BMT). Therefore patients in the latter arm received oral antispasmodic medicinal products along with physiotherapy for their post-stroke spasticity whereas patients in the former arm recevied ITB and physiotherapy.
    Evidence for comparator
    The Best Medical Treatment comparator arm included conventional oral medication for treating post-stroke spasticity (plus physiotherapy) and therefore was considered to be the appropriate comparator.
