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   44157   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7327   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    ?18 to 75 years of age at Visit 1 (the lower age limit may be higher if legally requested in the participating countries).
    ?Male and female subjects with symptomatic PAH (Group I Dana Point Updated Clinical Classification 2008), a 6-min walking distance (6MWD) of more than 150 m, a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >300 dyn*s*cm-5, and a mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAPmean) > 25 mmHg either due to:
    -Idiopathic PAH.
    -Heritable PAH.
    -Associated PAH due to connective tissue disease.
    -Associated PAH due to congenital heart disease (ie atrial septal defect, ventricle septal defect, persistent ductus arteriosus), if subjects underwent surgical correction >360 days before study inclusion.
    -Associated PAH due to portal hypertension with liver cirrhosis. (Note: subjects with clinical relevant hepatic dysfunction are excluded; see exclusions related to disorders in organ function.)
    -Associated PAH due to anorexigen or amphetamine use.
    Note: Other PAH subtypes of Dana Point Updated Clinical Classification Group I than the ones listed above, for example (eg) PAH associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, are excluded from the trial (see exclusion criteria).
    Note: With respect to the verification of the inclusion criteria, PAPmean and PVR are considered as calculated parameters.
    Note: Subjects who originally failed screening due to the upper limit of the 6MWD in the original study protocol can be re-screened.
    ?For Study Part 1: subjects on stable pretreatment with sildenafil at a dose of 20 mg tid.

    "Stable" is defined as no change in the respective daily dose for at least 90 days prior to randomization.

    ?For Study Part 2: subjects on stable pretreatment with sildenafil as prescribed by the treating physician (but not higher than 80 mg tid).

    "Stable" is defined as no change in the respective daily dose for at least 90 days prior to randomization.
    ?Unspecific treatments which may also be used for the treatment of PAH such as oral anticoagulants, diuretics, digitalis, calcium channel blockers or oxygen supplementation are permitted. However, treatment with anticoagulants (if indicated) must have been started at least 30 days before Visit 1 and treatment with diuretics needs to be stable for at least 30 days before Visit 1.
    ?Subjects with supplemental long-term oxygen therapy may be included, if the amount of supplemental oxygen and the delivery method was stable on average for at least 90 days before Visit 1.
    ?SBP >/=95 mmHg and heart rate (HR) </=105 beats per minute (BPM) in the first 2 h after intake of sildenafil (measured at Visits 0 and 1).
    ?Women without child-bearing potential defined as postmenopausal women (ie permanent absence of monthly periods for more than 2 years), women with bilateral tubal ligation, women with bilateral ovarectomy, and women with hysterectomy can be included in the study. Women with childbearing potential may only be included in the study if a serological pregnancy test is negative and a combination of 2 effective methods of birth control (eg prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, double barrier method, male partner sterilization) are used throughout the study.
    ?Subjects who are able to understand and follow instructions and who are able to participate in the study for the entire period.
    ?Subjects must have given their written informed consent to participate in the study after having received adequate previous information and prior to any study-specific procedures.
    ?18 a 75 años de edad en la Visita 1 (el limite de edad más bajo puede aumentar si es requerimiento en algún país participante).
    ?Pacientes varones y mujeres con HAP sintomática (Grupo 1 de la Clasificación Dana Point 2008), prueba de marcha de 6 minutos (6MWD) de más de 150 m, una resistencia vascular pulmonar (RVP) > 300 dyn*s*cm-5, y una presión arterial pulmonar (PAP media) > 25 mmHg bien debido a:
    -HAP idiopática
    -HAP familiar
    -HAP asociada a una enfermedad del tejido conectivo
    -HAP asocidada debida a enfermedad cardiaca congénita (es decir, defecto septal auricular, defecto septal ventricular, ducturs arteriosus persistente), si desde que los pacientes se sometieron a corrección quirúrgica han transcurido más de 360 días antes de la inclusión en el estudio.
    -HAP asociada debida a hipertensión portal con cirrosis hepática (Nota: los pacientes con alteraciones hepáticas clínicas relevantes están excluidos: ver exclusiones asociadas con alteraciones en la función de organos).
    -PAH asociada debida al uso de anorexígenos o anfetaminas.
    Nota: están excluídos del estudio otros subitpos del HAP Grupo I de la Clasificación de Dana Point 2008, diferentes a los listados arriba, por ejemplo, PAH asociada a la infección por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) (ver criterios de exclusión).
    Nota: Con respecto a la verificación de los criterios de inclusión se consideran a la PAPmedia y la RVP como parámetros calculados.
    Nota: Los pacientes que inicialmente fueron fallo de selección debido al limite superior del 6MWD en el protocolo original pueden ser seleccionados nuevamente.
    ?Para la parte I del Estudio: Los pacientes en pretratamiento estable con sildenafilo a dosis de 20 mg tres veces al día.
    "Estable" se define como ningún cambio en la respectiva dosis diaria durante al mentos 90 días antes de la aleatorización.
