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   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Patients fulfilling any of the following criteria are not eligible for
    inclusion in this study:
    1. Premature permanent discontinuation from any fingolimod study due
    to:
    a. An adverse event or serious adverse event or laboratory abnormality.

    physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, UNLESS they are using
    highly effective contraception during the study and for 2 months after
    stopping treatment. 'Highly effective contraception'defined as
    contraception which results in less that 1% unwanted pregnancies when
    used properly according to the label.
    Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child-bearing
    potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous)
    amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate,
    history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral
    oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least
    six weeks prior to baseline. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only
    when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by
    follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child
    bearing potential.
    4. Chronic disease of the immune system other than MS which may
    require immunosuppressive treatment.
    5. Severe active infection or active chronic infection.
    6. Previous treatment with cladribine, cyclophosphamide or
    mitoxantrone.
    7. Treatment with monoclonal antibodies (including Natalizumab) in the

    patient's ability to cooperate and comply with the study procedures, as
    assessed by the treating physician.
    11. Any of the following cardiovascular conditions:
    a. myocardial infarction within the past 6 months prior to enrollment or
    current unstable ischemic heart disease;

    antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g., quinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone,
    bretylium, sotalol, ibulitide, azimilide, dofelitide, ajmaline,
    procainamide);
    d. second-degree AV block Type II or third-degree AV block or corrected
    QTc inverval >500 msec;
    e. sick sinus syndrome or sino-atrial heart block;
    f. uncontrolled hypertension despite prescribed medications.
    12. Any of the following pulmonary conditions during the previous
    fingolimod study or observed at enrollment visit:
    a. severe respiratory disease or pulmonary fibrosis;
    b. active tuberculosis;
    c. in patients enrolling from studies with regular spirometry: reduction of
    FEV1, FVC and/or DLCO below 60% of core study baseline values or if
    FEV1, FVC and/or DLCO at extension study baseline is the second of two
    consecutive pulmonary function tests with values <80% of core study
    baseline.
    13. Severe liver impairment or chronic liver disease.
    14. Positive screening for serological markers for hepatitis A, B, C, and E

    • those testing positive for hepatitis B surface antibody, indicating hepatitis B immunization -OR-
    • those testing positive for anti-hepatitis B core antigen IgG, indicating a cured hepatitis B - OR -
