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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    • To assess the non-inferiority of virological efficacy at week 48 of a monotherapy strategy with atazanavir/ritonavir vs atazanavir/ritonavir-based HAART, in patients treated with an ATV/r-based HAART since at least 48 weeks, fully suppressed since at least 24 weeks and with no previous virologic failures.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    26 Oct 2011
    In order to facilitate the enrollment of patients in the national study as much as possible, the inclusion criteria are changed, making it possible to include patients under treatment with atazanavir / ritonavir 300/100 mg plus 2 NRTIs for at least 48 weeks with viral load suppressed (HIV-RNA <50 copies) for at least 24 weeks in the absence of previous virological failure after starting antiretroviral treatment. Patients with previous treatment schedules modified for toxicity or therapeutic simplification will be admitted provided that this has occurred during virological suppression and that there is such documentation available in the folder. The inclusion criterion in which the documentation of the genotype present at the beginning of the HAART certifying the absence of resistance to atazanavir was mandatory for entry into the study is eliminated.
    29 Oct 2012
    Following the slow enrollment of the satellite centers involved in the study and on the basis of the illustrated data, in order to protect the patients already enrolled, it is believed to amend the protocol in order to anticipate the interim evaluations confirming the effectiveness of the experimental treatment. Therefore, the sample size on which the interim analysis will be carried out is changed, reducing it from 171 to 100 patients.
    03 Dec 2012
    country specific amendment to include Spain in the enrollments (never enrollment were obtain)
    22 Jul 2013
    In consideration of the DSMB communication that assessed the interim analysis of the data carried out at week 48 of the first 103 patients enrolled, the protocol is amended in order to specify that no other patients will be screened and enrolled in the study. Based on DSMB recommendations, patients enrolled in the study to date (117) will be able to remain in the study and continue follow-up until the last patient has reached the 96th week of the study. Patients will therefore continue after week 96 to go to the center every 12 weeks for scheduled visits, agreeing to stay in the study by signing the new informed consent form for the patient version of 07/22/2013. The atazanavir drug for the arm of patients on monotherapy will continue to be supplied by BMS as per the existing contract.
