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   43839   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7280   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    I. Finding evidence for pharmacotherapy guidelines in first episode schizophrenia
    The primary outcome is the number of participants in remission at the end of phase I,
    4 weeks open treatment with amisulpride, phase II, double blind treatment with amisulpride or olanzapine, comparison between arms and phase III, open treatment with clozapine. Symptomatic remission will be defined according to the criteria of Andreasen et al. in 2005: 8 specific symptoms, PANSS items P1, P2, P3, N1, N4, N6, G5 and G9, of schizophrenia as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale are at the most only mildly present, maximum rating of 3, so that they do not interfere with daily life functioning. The PANSS itself is a validated measure and it is the most widely used scale to assess the symptoms of schizophrenia.

    II. Finding interventions to improve medication adherence
    The primary outcomes will be drug adherence rates defined categorically, adherent vs non adherent as a function of standardised self report and Sellwood rating scales; and global functioning at 1 year. Based on self report, the most widespread definitions of non adherence are stopping medication for at least one week during follow up taking the prescribed drug less than 90 percent of the time.

    III. Finding biological predictors of treatment response
    The primary outcome for biological predictors will be drug response defined categorically remission vs non remission as a function of biological profile, eg: presence or absence of genetic variants, proteomic profile, metabolomic profile, immunologic profile. The primary outcomes of the MRS scans are the difference between responders and non responders in regional glutamate levels at baseline and between baseline and after one month of treatment with amisulpiride.

    IV. Testing the utility of MRI screening
    Primary outcome is the percentage of first episode patients that show radiological abnormalities suggestive of neurological disorders which may explain the occurrence of psychotic symptoms.
    I. Individuazione di linee guida per il trattamento farmacologico dei pazienti al primo episodio di schizofrenia
    La principale misura di outcome è rappresentata dal numero di partecipanti in remissione alla fine della fase I, dopo 4 settimane di trattamento di aperto con amisulpride, della fase II, trattamento in doppio cieco con amisulpride o olanzapina e della fase III, trattamento in aperto con clozapina. La remissione sintomatica sarà definita secondo i criteri proposti da Andreasen e collaboratori nel 2005: 8 sintomi specifici della schizofrenia, vale a dire gli items della PANSS P1, P2, P3, N1, N4, N6, G5 e G9, valutati mediante la Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale devono essere presenti al massimo in forma lieve quindi ad un livello che non interferisca con il funzionamento quotidiano. La PANSS è uno strumento validato ed è il più diffusamente utilizzato per la valutazione dei sintomi della schizofrenia.

    II. Individuazione di interventi che migliorino l’aderenza al trattamento
    L’outcome primario sarà rappresentato da: 1. grado di aderenza al trattamento definito in modo categoriale, vale a dire aderente vs. non aderente, come rilevato mediante strumenti di valutazione standardizzati e la Sellwood rating scales; e 2. funzionamento globale ad 1 anno. Sulla base di valutazioni autosomministrate le definizioni più ampie di non aderenza sono rappresentate da sospensione del farmaco per almeno una settimana durante il follow up; assunzione del farmaco prescritto per meno del 90 percento del tempo.

    III. Individuazione di predittori biologici della risposta al trattamento.
    L’outcome primario per i predittori biologici sarà la risposta al farmaco definita in modo categoriale, vale a dire remissione vs. non remissione come funzione del profilo biologico, ad esempio: presenza o assenza di varianti genetiche, profilo proteomico, profilo metabolomico, profilo immunologico. L’outcome primario della RMN è rappresentato dalle differenze tra responders e non responders nei livelli regionali di glutammato alla baseline e tra la baseline e dopo un mese di trattamento con amisulpride.

    IV. Valutazione dell’utilità dello screening con RMN
    L’outcome primario è rappresentato dalla percentuale di pazienti al primo episodio che presentano anomalie radiologiche suggestive di patologie neurologiche che possono spiegare la comparsa di sintomi psicotici.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Reports on the endpoints of the study will be produced at 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 54 months from the project start date. The final report will be produced at 60 months from the project start date.
    Report relativi agli endpoint dello studio saranno prodotti periodicamente alle seguenti scadenze: 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 e 54 mesi dall’inizio dello studio. Il report finale sarà prodotto a 60 mesi dall’inizio dello studio.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    I. Finding evidence for pharmacotherapy guidelines in first episode schizophrenia
    The secondary outcome measure is all cause treatment discontinuation. Number and reason for premature discontinuations of the amisulpride and the olanzapine group will be compared.
    Other measures which are included are the severity and improvement subscores of the Clinical Global Impressions Scale which will assess the overall severity and improvement of the participants. Levels of depression will be assessed with the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia. The Global Assessment of Functioning scale will be used to assess social functioning. The UKU side effects rating scale will be used to assess adverse effects of antipsychotic medication. We will assess weight gain, abdominal circumference and further adverse events with open interviews. The safety and tolerability of the study drugs will be monitored by the frequency and severity of side effects.

    II. Finding interventions to improve medication adherence
    Two process measures will also be used at baseline and 3 months, to test whether any improvements in adherence seen in the psychosocial intervention group can be attributed to the interventions: psycho education assessed by Knowledge About Psychosis Scale. Secondary analyses include a comparison of all cause treatment discontinuation between treatment groups.

    III. Finding biological predictors of treatment response
    The secondary outcomes are:
    1. the ability of biological markers to predict response to antipsychotic in schizophrenia considered as a continuous variable percentage of diminution of the PANSS total and sub scores
    2. the ability of biological markers to predict antipsychotic treatment tolerability.

    IV. Testing the utility of MRI screening
    The secondary outcome is the ability of MRI to predict response to antipsychotic treatment in schizophrenia.
    I. Individuazione di linee guida per il trattamento farmacologico dei pazienti al primo episodio di schizofrenia
    La misura di outcome secondario è rappresentata da qualsiasi causa di interruzione del trattamento. Il numero e le ragioni di interruzione prematura saranno confrontati nel gruppo che assume amisulpride rispetto a quello che assume olanzapina
    Altre misure incluse sono la severità e il punteggio di miglioramento alla Clinical Global Impressions Scale che valuterà severità e migliroamento globali dei partecipanti. I livelli di depressione saranno valutati mediante la Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia. La Global Assessment of Functioning scale sarà utilizzata per valutare il funzionamento sociale. La UKU side effects rating scale sarà utilizzata per valutare gli effetti collaterali degli antipsicotici. Saranno valutati peso corporeo, circonferenza addominale e altri effetti collaterali mediante colloquio clinic. Sicurezza e tollerabilità dei farmaci inclusi nello studio saranno monitorate dalla frequenza e severità degli effetti collaterali.

    II. Individuazione di interventi che migliorino l’aderenza al trattamento
    Alla baseline e a tre mesi sarà somministrata la Knowledge About Psychosis Scale, per valutare se ogni miglioramento nell’aderenza osservato nel gruppo che ha partecipato all’intervento psicosociale possa essere attribuito all’intervento stesso. Analisi secondarie includono un confronto di tutte le cause di interruzione del trattamento tra gruppi che hanno assunto farmaci diversi.

    III. Individuazione di predittori biologici della risposta al trattamento.
    Gli outcome secondari sono rappresentati da: 1. abilità dei markers biologici a predire la risposta agli antipsicoitici nella schizofrenia considerata come una variabile continua di percentuale di riduzione dei punteggi PANSS. 2. abilità dei markers biologici di predire la tollerabilità al trattamento antipsicotico

    IV. Valutazione dell’utilità dello screening con RMN
    L’outcome secondario è rappresentato dall’abilità della RMN a predire la risposta al trattamento antipsicotico nella schizofrenia.
