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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    Relative Frequency of Days With Abdominal Symptoms
    End point description
    Abdominal symptoms included abdominal pain and flatulence. Symptoms were classified by severity as mild (no impairment of daily activities), moderate (slight impairment of daily activities), or severe (unable to perform daily activities). For each type of abdominal symptom, the relative frequency of days with the symptom for each participant in a treatment period was calculated as the number of days in which the symptom was reported divided by the total number of days in which the abdominal symptom case report form (CRF) was completed. Mean relative frequency of days with abdominal symptoms was calculated during each treatment period (Day 1 to Day 15).

    Percentage of Participants With Abdominal Distension
    End point description
    Abdominal distension is a sense of increased abdominal pressure by the participant that involves an actual measurable change in the circumference of a participant’s abdomen on physical examination. Percentage of participants with abdominal distension was calculated for each treatment period (Day 1 to Day 15).

    Percent Coefficient of Fat Absorption (CFA) Based on Concomitant use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
    End point description
    Percent CFA was calculated as ([fat intake - fat excretion]/fat intake)*100, determined in the stools which were collected over a 3-day period (Day 12 to morning of Day 15) during each treatment period. Least squares mean percent (%) CFA was calculated for Day 12 to Day 15 in first and second treatment periods. Percent CFA was based on log transformed data. Percent CFA was calculated separately for participants who used and did not use acid suppressing therapy (PPIs) during the study.

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    06 Aug 2010
    Amendment 1: -Added “proposal of a new example of compliance calculation with a lower daily fixed dose of capsules (18 capsules per day was changed for 12 capsules per day)”; -Inclusion criteria: added subject has a diagnosis of severe EPI confirmed by ELISA measurement of fecal elastase (FE-I) (test could have been performed in the past and result available); -Inclusion criteria: added women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at study entry and must use a medically acceptable contraceptive method for the duration of the study (i.e. from the qualification visit up to 30 days after the last study visit); -Exclusion criteria: added recent treatment of an emergent acute infection with oral or intravenous (IV) antibiotics that was not stopped at least 14 days prior to randomization; -Exclusion criteria: added use of enteral tube feeding over day and night; -Qualification phase: added this phase will last 5 to 15 days in order to obtain FE-I result (if necessary) ... standardized Cystic Fibrosis (CF) diet and standardized dose of lipase; -Prohibited medications: added chronic use of inhaled or oral antibiotics for infection prophylaxis is allowed provided that the drugs and the doses remain the same during the study; -Added “females who do not use an acceptable contraceptive regimen will be allowed to participate in this study only if they are not of childbearing potential”; -Added “subjects will only be identified with a subject identifier”;
    06 Aug 2010
    -Added the “study personnel will contact the subject by phone on Day 10 to remind him/her to start the accurate food recording on Day 11”; -Added to Period 1: The subject will continue the same standardized diet and will continue the food recording very accurately from Day 12 to Day 15 AM. During this period, the subject will continue to record the number of capsules of study drug taken at each meal and snack and the presence of abdominal symptoms (abdominal pain and flatulence) as well; -Added “stools will be kept refrigerated or frozen”; -added “The physical exam will collect body weight in kilograms (kg), height in centimeters (cm) and vital signs after the subject has been seated for at least 5 minutes”; -Added “study procedures will not resume before 14 days after the end of antibiotic administration and the maximal time frame for the PAUSE period will be 45 days”; -Added “all samples of urine and blood will be sent to a local laboratory for analysis and all samples of stools will be sent to a central laboratory according to their shipment requirements. For sites that cannot have vitamins A, D and E analysis at their local laboratory, frozen serum will be sent to the central laboratory for analysis”; -Added “The investigator has the responsibility to notify the local Ethics Committee about serious adverse events (SAEs) according to local regulatory requirements”.
    24 Sep 2010
    Amendment 2: -Removed “Study Phase: IIIb” and replaced with “Study Phase: IV”, in all applicable areas.
    05 Oct 2011
    Amendment 3: -Added “Axcan Pharma Inc. was replaced by Aptalis Pharma Canada, Inc, because on September 8, 2011, Axcon Pharma Inc., a subsidiary of Aptalis Pharma Inc., changed its name to Aptalis Pharma Canada. Inc.”; -Added “Axcon Pharma SAS was replaced by Apatalis Pharma SAS, because on June 8, 2011, Axcan Pharma SAS, a subsidiary of Aptalis Pharma Inc., changed its name to Aptalis SAS.”; -Added “capsules of lower dosage will not be allowed for snacks and small meals. The usual enzyme treatment capsules (Panzytrat® 25,000 or Kreon® 25,000) will need to be opened to provide a smaller amount of lipase”, to the study description; -Updated the list and contact information of the sponsor’s personnel involved in the study; -Removed the Netherlands from the list of countries with study sites involved in this study; -Exclusion criteria: Use of enteral tube feeding or gastric tube feeding (G-tube) for continuous feeding over day or night; -Clarified the dose will be limited to a maximum of 4000 lipase units per gram of fat ingested and will not exceed 10,000 The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Eur.-E) units of lipase per kilogram of body weight per day; -Clarified the primary efficacy endpoint – only fat intakes cumulated over Day 12, Day 13 and Day 14 will be used to calculate the CFA%%.
