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   44236   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7337   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the proportion of responders (≥30% reduction from baseline in blood Phe level) to 20 mg/kg/day Sapropterin dihydrochloride treatment at several time points during 28 days.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The main secondary endpoints include:
    Incidence of adverse reactions and their severity, abnormal laboratory values. The proportion of early responders, late responders, partial responders and non responders. The difference between the proportion of patients positive for any PAH mutation measured versus patients negative for the corresponding PAH mutation and observed for safety and efficacy clinical endpoints. Proportion of subjects categorized after phenotype. Mean change in Phe level in subjects categorized after phenotype from baseline to all testing time points. Mean change in Phe and tyrosine blood levels and blood Phe-to-tyrosine ratio in subjects categorized after phenotype from baseline to all testing time points. Proportion of subjects with a Phe level less than 120µmol/l for at least one testing time point during the study period according to response status (early, late, partial or non). To assess differences in age groups in safety and efficacy clinical endpoints
