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   43861   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the trial was to evaluate the safety of Neoven compared to Vaminolact in infants and children requiring long-term parenteral nutrition (PN).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subject protection was ensured by high medical and ethical standards in accordance with Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice and applicable national and local laws and regulations. The signed informed consent was obtained from the legal representative of the patient prior to inclusion in the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Overall, 6 patients were enrolled in the study in 2 centers in France, thereof 3 patients in the Neoven group and 3 patients in the Vaminolact group.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screened were male and female infants, aged from 1 month up to 11 years, with intestinal malabsorption requiring PN.

    Blinding implementation details
    Study medication was provided as bulk products to the responsible laboratory for masking due to the different strengths of products: Neoven has strength of 10 % and Vaminolact of 6.5 %. Neoven was diluted to a strength of 6.5 %. The responsible pharmacist provided a blinded final PN product which did not reveal any treatment allocation. Additional independent unblinded study monitor checked adherence to pre-defined working procedures.
