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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is the long-term safety and tolerability of ambrisentan in the paediatric PAH population (see Safety).
    Safety
    • Adverse Events;
    • Serious Adverse Events;
    • Clinical laboratory parameters;
    • Physical examination (including height, weight, body mass index / body surface area, oxygen saturation, jugular venous pressure, liver size, and presence of peripheral oedema and/or ascites);
    • Vital Signs;
    • Pubertal development (change from Study AMB112529 baseline in endocrinology assessments every six months and at 20 years of age);
    • The time to change in dose of ambrisentan or other targeted PAH therapeutic agents (prostanoids, PDE-5 inhibitors) due to tolerability issues (e.g. adverse events).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Efficacy
    •All cause mortality;
    •The change from AMB112529 baseline in the 6 minute walking distance (6MWD) test evaluated every six months;
    •The time to clinical worsening of PAH;
    •The time to addition of another targeted PAH therapeutic agents (prostanoids, PDE-5 inhibitors) due to the following reasons:
    •Deterioration of clinical condition;
    •Lack of beneficial effect with previous therapy (not reaching set treatment goals);
    •The time to change in dose of ambrisentan or other targeted PAH therapeutic agents (prostanoids, PDE-5 inhibitors) due to deterioration of clinical condition;
    •The change from AMB112529 baseline in Subject Global Assessment every three months using the SF-10 health survey for children;
    •The change from AMB112529 baseline in WHO functional class every six months;
    •Change from AMB112529 baseline in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-Pro BNP) concentration every six months.
    Exploratory
    •The change from cardiopulmonary hemodynamic
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes

    ALTRI SOTTOSTUDI: Cardiopulmonary Hemodynamic Sub-study cambiamenti rispetto al basale dello studio AMB112529 nei centri che effettuano questo come normale pratica clinica
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Subjects eligible for enrolment in the study must meet all of the following criteria:
    1. Have participated in and complied, to the best of their ability, with the protocol for AMB112529 and have met one of the following:
    a. Completed the Week 24 visit in AMB112529;
    b. Required additional targeted treatment for PAH due to inadequate response to the current treatment or worsening of their clinical condition prior to week 24 in AMB112529;
    c. Required reduction in dose of baseline targeted treatment for PAH after ambrisentan was added to the treatment regimen;
    d. In the opinion of the investigator, continued treatment with ambrisentan is warranted.
    2. A female is eligible to participate in this study, as assessed by the investigator, if she is of:
    a. Non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant); or,
    b. Child-bearing potential - has a negative pregnancy test and is not lactating and, if sexually active, agrees to continue to use 2 reliable methods of contraception until study completion and for at least 30 days following the last dose of study drug (reliable methods of contraception are listed in Appendix 2).
    3. Subject or subject’s legal guardian is able and willing to give written informed consent. As part of the consent, female subjects of childbearing potential will be informed of the risk of teratogenicity and will need to be counselled in a developmentally appropriate manner on the importance of pregnancy prevention; and male subjects will need to be informed of potential risk of testicular tubular atrophy and aspermia.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Subjects meeting any of the following criteria must not be enrolled in the study:
    1. Subjects who were withdrawn from ambrisentan in Study AMB112529;
    2. Subjects who did not comply with the protocol in Study AMB112529;
    3. Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
    4. Subjects with severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance <30 mL/min assessed within the previous 45 days) at the point of transition from Study AMB112529 into this study;
    5. Subject with clinically significant fluid retention in the opinion of the investigator;
    6. Subject with clinically significant anaemia in the opinion of the investigator;
    7. Subjects who are to enter another clinical trial or be treated with another investigational product after exiting Study AMB112529.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
