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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an open-label treatment with BI 201335 240 mg once daily given for 12 or 24 weeks (w) or BI 201335 120 mg once daily for 24 w, each in combination with pegylated interferon-alpha2a and ribavirin given for 24 or 48 w in HCV/HIV coinfected patients, who are HCV-treatment naive or HCV-treatment relapsers and HIV treatment-naïve- or, who are being treated with HAART containing an acceptable combination of the following antiretrovirals: raltegravir, darunavir/ritonavir, efavirenz, atazanavir/ ritonavir (limited to 20 patients), maraviroc, tenofovir, abacavir, emtricitabine, and lamivudine. Results of this trial will be compared with historical efficacy and safety data of randomized trials of 48 w of treatment with pegylated interferon-alpha2a and ribavirin for HCV GT 1 infection in HIV/HCV co-infected patients.
    L`obiettivo dello studio e` dimostrare l`efficacia e la sicurezza del trattamento in aperto di BI 201335 (120 mg) somministrato una volta al giorno, per 24 settimane e di BI 201335 (240 mg) somministrato una volta al giorno, per 12 o 24 settimane, ciascuno in combinazione con interferone peghilato alfa2a e ribavirina, somministrati per 24 o 48 settimane, in pazienti HCV/HIV coinfetti, che siano HCV naive o HCV relapser e HIV naive oppure in trattamento per l`infezione da HIV con un trattamento HAART contenente una combinazione di antiretrovirali accettabili(app.10.7 e nota 1 flow-chart del protocollo). I risultati dello studio saranno confrontati con i dati storici, di sicurezza ed efficacia, di studi randomizzati che abbiano valutato il trattamento di 48 settimane con interferone peghilato alfa2a e ribavirina per l`infezione HCV, genotipo1, in pazienti coinfetti HCV/HIV.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary objectives: evaluate the safety of the BI 201335 120mg and 240mg in combination with pegylated interferon-alpha 2a and ribavirin in the population of HIV/HCV co-infected patients
    Dimostrare l`efficacia e la sicurezza del trattamento in aperto di BI 201335 (120 mg e 240 mg), in combinazione con interferone peghilato alpha2a e ribavirina in pazienti HCV/HIV coinfetti
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

HCV Naive or HCV relapser defined as the following: -Treatment-naïve to interferon, pegylated interferon and ribavirin, or -Prior relapser: Undetectable HCV RNA (based on an assay considered sensitive at the time of treatment) at the end of treatment with a pegylated interferon-based regimen, but HCV RNA detectable within 24 weeks of treatment follow up 5.Documentation of liver biopsy within 3 years or fibroscan within 6 months prior to randomisation. 6. Age 18 to 70 years. 7.

Peripheral CD4 T cell count >=500 cells/mm3 at screening visit, and HIV plasma RNA <100,000 copies/mL. Note: According to judgment by the investigator ARV–naïve patients should only be enrolled if it is expected that they will not require initiation of HAART during the 8 weeks following initiation of treatment with BI 201335 and PegIFN/RBV. In the event that the patient needs to start HAART during the trial, please see Appendix 10.7 for further guidance. -Patients on stable HAART: HIV-1 plasma RNA undetectable at screening and for at least 6 months prior to initial randomisation, and including a maximum of 2 HIV VL blips during this period (see Section 5.2.3).
