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 primary objective of this study is to establish the safety and tolerability profile of doripenem compared with that of meropenem in hospitalized children 3 months to less than 18 years of age with cIAI (complicated intra-abdominal infection).
    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. An Independent Data Monitoring Committee [IDMC] monitored the safety of participants in this study as well as 2 additional Phase 3 paediatric trials being conducted by the Sponsor simultaneously. Safety evaluations included the measurement of vital signs, monitoring of reported adverse effects (AEs), including serious adverse effects (SAEs), concomitant therapy, serum chemistry, hematology assessments, and urinalysis with microscopy.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    31 Mar 2011
    The overall reason for the amendment were: incorporate comments from regulatory authorities and investigators from around the world. There was change in meropenem time of intravenous bolus infusion from a 3 to 5 minute, to clarify directions and update the dosing of amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium to every 12 hours [q12h] (7:1 amoxicillin/clavulanate ratio), to allow subjects with negative intra-abdominal culture results to continue on study drug. Also to specify that subjects with recurrence of an intra-abdominal infection or who have failed prior surgical and/or medical therapy for a recent or ongoing infection may not enrol in the study. The amendment also includes the requirement that urinalysis with microscopy and creatinine clearance be calculated at baseline as well as to specify time points for the collection of safety laboratory tests. It also includes to align the protocol with the EU pediatric investigational plan (PIP) and to remove details of the IDMC that will be specified in the IDMC charter. The amended protocol includes to revise the pharmacokinetic sample collection and handling methods.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    01 Jun 2013
    This study was terminated early due to business reasons and not related to safety concerns or issues. NOTE: Interruption date indicates the date on which IDMC was notified of premature termination of trial.

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The major limitation of the study was limited enrollment which precludes a meaningful conclusion about the efficacy and safety of doripenem compared with meropenem.
