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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 824 subjects were screened, 100 subjects were screening failures and 724 subjects were allocated to treatment (ATS). Of these 724 subjects, 11 prematurely terminated the trial before the start of treatment due to withdrawal of consent (5 subjects), ineligibility (3 subjects), other reasons (2 subjects) and pregnancy (1 subject).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Healthy woman at risk of pregnancy, at the age of 18-45 y. For Germany: Woman without uncontrolled current diseases at risk of pregnancy, at the age of 18-45 y. For starters: At least 4 menstrual cycles during the last 6 m before Visit 1 were regular (i.e. cycle length between 24 and 35 days). Systolic BP<140 mmHg, diastolic BP<90 mmHg.

    Overall Pearl Index [1]
    End point description
    Overall PI = number of pregnancies*1300/number of medication cycles Overall PI was to include all pregnancies which occurred during the study. Pregnancies following premature termination of IMP were to be excluded from calculations unless intravaginal ultrasound examination and β–HCG test was not performed to determine whether the date of conception was after the premature discontinuation. Medication cycle was defined as 28 days starting with the administration of the first tablet from the blister containing 28 tablets and ending with the last day of intake

M (method failure) = pregnancy where the subject was compliant with IMP dosing near the time of conception and estimated date of conception was during treatment period (extended with a maximum of 2 days). U (user failure) = pregnancy where the subject failed to comply with IMP dosing near the time of conception and estimated date of conception was during treatment period (extended with a maximum of 2 days).

    Adverse events
    End point description
    Adverse events (AEs) will be reported on a per-subject basis. This implies that even if a subject reported the same event repeatedly, the event will be counted only once. In the latter case, the event will be assigned the worst severity and strongest relationship to the IMP. The presentation of AEs is therefore restricted to the incidence per subject of AEs assigned to the Treatment or Follow-up Period. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs which started at or after the first administration of the IMP and included those events started prior to the first administration of the IMP but which worsened after the first intake. AEs starting after the last administration of the IMP but within the follow-up period were also regarded as treatment emergent. TEAEs leading to trial termination were obtained from the AE form, where the field “Action taken on study drug” was indicated as “drug withdrawn”.

    Amendment
    15 Mar 2011
    This protocol amendment was prepared not to exclude women with a BMI > 30 kg/m2; to correct an error regarding drug accountability in the protocol; to correct the inconsistency in urinalysis laboratory parameters and to correct the inconsistency between the CRF and the protocol with respect to IMP acceptability answer options.

    With this protocol amendment the permitted delay in DRSP intake was extended from 12 to 24 hours, based on the preliminary results of the pilot study CF111/201A. Sexual activity for each medication cycle had to be confirmed in the e-diary; Visit 6 was scheduled for Day 29+2 of the 13th medication cycle to ensure that e-diaries with complete data for the 13th medication cycle could be collected and final drug accountabilitycould be performed at Visit 6.
