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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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
    (1) To investigate a dose-related reduction in average number of daily micturitions compared with placebo at Week 8. (2) To assess the safety and tolerability of treatment with the selected MK-4618 doses either alone or dosed concomitantly with tolterodine ER. ProtExt: valutare la sicurezza e la tollerabilità a lungo termine di MK4618 in confronto a tolterodina ER.
    (1) Valutare una riduzione dose-correlata del numero medio di minzioni giornaliere, rispetto al placebo, alla settimana 8. (2) Valutare la sicurezza e la tollerabilita` del trattamento con le dosi selezionate di MK-4618 impiegato in monoterapia o in associazione con tolterodina a rilascio prolungato (Extended Release – ER). ProtExt: valutare la sicurezza e la tollerabilità a lungo termine di MK4618 in confronto a tolterodina ER.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    (1) After 8 weeks of dosing, to assess the effect of MK-4618 compared with the effect of placebo on: • the average number of urge incontinence episodes in patients with OAB wet • the average number of total incontinence episodes in patients with OAB wet • the average number of strong urge episodes in all patients with OAB. (2) To investigate whether there is a lower incidence of dry mouth when treated with MK-4618 compared with tolterodine ER. (3) After 4 weeks of dosing, to assess the effect of concomitant dosing with MK-4618 and tolterodine ER compared with the effect of the selected dose of MK-4618 monotherapy and with the effect of tolterodine ER monotherapy on the average number of daily micturitions.
    (1) Valutare l’effetto di MK-4618, dopo 8 settimane di trattamento, rispetto a placebo, sui seguenti parametri: •numero medio di episodi di incontinenza da urgenza nei pazienti affetti da OAB con perdite (bagnata) •numero medio di episodi totali di incontinenza nei pazienti affetti da OAB con perdite (bagnata) •numero medio di episodi di forte urgenza minzionale in tutti i pazienti con OAB. (2) Valutare se e` presente una minore incidenza di secchezza delle fauci in associazione al trattamento con MK-4618, rispetto all’impiego di tolterodina ER. (3) Valutare l’effetto del trattamento concomitante con MK-4618 e tolterodina ER, dopo 4 settimane di trattamento, rispetto all’effetto prodotto dalla dose selezionata di MK-4618 in monoterapia e all’effetto di tolterodina ER in monoterapia, sul numero medio di minzioni giornaliere.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Patient is male or female of non-childbearing potential between 40 and 75 years of age inclusive on day of signing informed consent. 2. Patient has a clinical history of OAB (may be verbal per patient) for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1. OAB is defined as urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually associated with frequency and nocturia. Urodynamic evaluation is not required. 3. Patient is able to read, understand and complete questionnaires and voiding diaries as well as collect, measure and record voided volume by herself/himself using a graduated beaker, which will be provided by the SPONSOR. 4. Patient meets either the OAB wet or OAB dry criteria described below based on the screening diary returned at Visit 2 and the placebo run-in diary returned at Visit 3: • OAB wet criteria: An average of ≥ 8 micturitions/day and average number of urge incontinence episodes is ≥ 1 per diary day AND the total number of urge incontinence episodes exceeds the total number of stress incontinence episodes from the screening diary. OR • OAB dry criteria: An average of ≥ 8 micturitions/day and the average number of strong urge episodes is ≥ 3 per diary day from the screening diary.
    1.Il paziente deve aver compreso le procedure previste dello studio clinico, i trattamenti alternativi disponibili e i rischi connessi alla sperimentazione e accetta volontariamente di partecipare allo studio, fornendo il consenso informato scritto. 2.Il paziente e` un soggetto di sesso maschile o femminile non fertile, di eta` compresa tra 40 e 75 anni al momento della sottoscrizione del consenso informato. Nota: Fino al 10% dei pazienti puo` essere di sesso maschile. 3.Il paziente ha un’anamnesi clinica di OAB (puo` essere riferita dal paziente) da almeno 3 mesi prima della Visita 1. L’OAB viene definita come l’urgenza minzionale, in presenza o meno di incontinenza da urgenza, associata solitamente a ripetute minzioni e nicturia. Non e` richiesta alcuna valutazione urodinamica. 4.Il paziente e` in grado di leggere, comprendere e compilare i questionari e i diari minzionali, nonche` di raccogliere, misurare e registrare autonomamente il volume svuotato, utilizzando un contenitore graduato che sara` fornito dallo SPONSOR. 5.Il paziente e` in grado di camminare, presenta buone condizioni generali di salute fisica e mentale, secondo quanto stabilito dallo sperimentatore. + criteri VEDI SINOSSI
