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   43858   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 ).

    Voriconazole: 2 to <12 years
    Arm description
    Subjects aged 2 to <12 years with invasive candidiasis/candidemia (ICC) received a loading dose of voriconazole, every 12 hours (q12h) for the first 24 hours, followed by maintenance dose of voriconazole, q12h for a minimum of 5 days. Subjects with esophageal candidiasis (EC) received voriconazole, q12h for a minimum of 5 days. In both ICC and EC, once signs and symptoms of Candida infection had resolved and the subject was clinically stable, subjects were switched to oral (PO) therapy and received voriconazole, q12h. Voriconazole was administered for at least 7 days (subjects with EC) or 14 days (subjects with ICC) after last positive blood culture up to a maximum of 42 days of treatment.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 Nov 2009
    The primary reason for creation of this protocol amendment was to include additional visual safety assessments, as requested by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 1- Dilated fundoscopic examination at the EOT and at the 1-month follow-up visit. These assessments were in addition to the dilated fundoscopic examination already required at the time of Screening. 2- Confrontational and/or automated visual field test at the time of Screening and at the EOT in subjects 5 years of age and older. For subjects who were critically ill and/or clinically unstable at Baseline, visual field testing could be performed at a later time, when, in the investigator’s judgment, the subject was clinically stable and able to perform the test adequately. 3- In subjects 3 years of age and younger, visual safety monitoring was limited to visual acuity and dilated fundoscopy. In children who were too young to perform the visual acuity test, fixation should have been assessed as to whether it is central, steady or maintained in each eye. 4- Assessment of vital signs, and signs and symptoms of Candida infection (including radiologic findings) every 3 days was no longer required in subjects who have been discharged from the hospital and are continuing to receive study drug treatment on an outpatient basis. 5- In subjects who experience a treatment-emergent cardiac arrhythmia that was felt to be, in the investigator’s judgment, clinically significant, the investigator was to collect a standard 12-lead electro cardiaography (ECG) at the time of the event, or within 2 hours following the event, and send a duplicate of the ECG to the designated central ECG reader.
    08 Jul 2010
    Regarding the primary and salvage EC inclusion criteria: In addition to symptoms consistent with EC, subjects who could not undergo esophagoscopy due to neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or HIV/advanced AIDS, were to have culture-proven oropharyngeal candidiasis in order to qualify for study entry.

    Interruptions (globally)
