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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EUR-1008 as compared to Creon in the treatment of EPI associated with CF in subjects 12 years of age and older, and able to swallow the capsules whole.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with good clinical practices and applicable regulatory requirements. Written informed consent and assent from minors (according to national legal requirements) were obtained before initiating study-related assessments or procedures.

    End point title
    		 Coefficient of fat absorption over 72 hours
    End point description
    The coefficient of fat absorption (CFA) was determined by measurement of fat and protein dietary intake and fat and protein excretion in the stools. CFA-72h was assessed during the two 72-hour stool collection periods at the end of each of the treatment periods using dietary fat intake and stool fat excretion data.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    The coefficient of fat absorption over 72 hours (CFA-72h) is calculated from stools collected during the last 3 days (72 consecutive hours) of each treatment period.
