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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The drug being tested is called VigantOL® oil - a very effective form of Vitamin D hormone supplement (cholecalciferol). Low levels of Vitamin D have been described to be associated with a higher risk of developing Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and it is known that up to 90% of patients with Multiple Sclerosis have Vitamin D deficiency. Rebif® is known to be an effective treatment for slowing down the progression of MS. The purpose of this research trial is to evaluate if VigantOL® oil along with Rebif® has any benefit on the progression of MS compared to Rebif® and placebo. Disease activity was assessed by clinical examination and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The planned study treatment duration for each study subject is 48 weeks, and the study consists of a total of 8 visits. Study subjects who are already passed Week 48 at the time of approval of Protocol Amendment 5 had a study duration of 96 weeks and a total of 12 visits.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subject protection was ensured by following high medical and ethical standards in accordance with the principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki, and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practice and applicable regulations.

    End point description
    EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) was calculated. A confirmed EDSS progression was defined EDSS greater than or equal to 1.0 point confirmed during a visit performed 6 months later. An EDSS progression was defined as an increase of the EDSS score of at least 1.0 point compared to baseline (SD1) for subjects with a baseline EDSS ≤ 4.0. For subjects with an EDSS score of 0 at baseline (SD1), EDSS progression was defined as an increase of at least 1.5 points. A confirmed EDSS progression was defined as an EDSS progression confirmed after 24 weeks.

    26 Jul 2011
    The number of drops of Vigantol ® oil to be orally administered during the trial was changed from 14 drops to 10 drops during the first 4 weeks of the trial. If the treatment was well tolerated the subjects were to take 21 drops instead of 28 drops of Vigantol ® oil (corresponding to 7’000 IU/d (175 μg/d) from Week 5 and up to Week 92.
    29 Aug 2011

    08 May 2013
    Update to Primary Endpoint: The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects disease activity free (DAF), defined as absence of any of the clinical and imaging parameters related to the assessment of disease activity; namely no relapses, no EDSS progression and no new Gd-enhancing or T2 MRI lesions at Week 48. The duration of the trial period was reduced from 96 to 48 weeks and all trial procedures e.g. duration of treatment were updated accordingly. The sample size was reduced from 348 subjects (174 subjects per treatment arm) to 230 subjects (115 subjects per treatment arm) with 25-hydroxy-vitamin D serum levels <150 nmol/L and an unspecified number of subjects with 25-hydroxy-vitamin D serum levels ≥150 nmol/L. Update of inclusion criterion 1: Males and females between 18 and 55 years of age.
