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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 ).

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study is to determine whether armodafinil treatment, at a dosage of 150 mg/day, is more effective than placebo treatment as adjunctive therapy to mood stabilizers for treatment of adults with major depression associated with bipolar I disorder. Efficacy will be assessed by the mean change from baseline in the total score from the 30 Item Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology–Clinician Rated (IDS C30).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • to evaluate the efficacy of armodafinil treatment compared with placebo treatment as adjunctive therapy for adults who are experiencing a major depressive episode associated with bipolar I disorder
    • to evaluate the change from baseline in the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) of depression rating for depression at weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8, or last postbaseline observation
    • to evaluate the efficacy of armodafinil treatment compared with placebo treatment on patient functioning as assessed by the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale scores at weeks 4 and 8, or last postbaseline observation
    • to evaluate the safety and tolerability of armodafinil

    For full details please refer to the Protocol.
