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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This was a multi-center, open-label, non-comparative study for a total duration of 52 weeks and was designed to describe the tolerability profile of up to 200 days prophylaxis of valganciclovir powder for oral solution and film-coated tablets in pediatric kidney transplant recipients.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protection of trial participants was ensured by obtaining a written signed informed consent from the participants. Participants who were not qualified or incapable of giving legal consent, written consent was obtained from the participant's legally acceptable representative and the participant's assent. Participants were informed to participate in the study after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study.

    Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) or Withdrawal Due to AEs [1]
    End point description
    An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product. Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study were reported as AEs. A SAE was any experience that: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was medically significant. Safety Population included all enrolled participants who received at least one dose of study medication and had at least one post-baseline assessment of safety.

    End point description
    A PCR based assay or antigenaemia assay was used for the qualitative assessment of CMV viremia by each study center as part of the clinical assessment required for diagnosis of CMV infection. CMV disease included CMV syndrome or tissue invasive CMV. CMV syndrome required fever greater than or equal to (≥) 38 degrees Celsius, severe malaise, leukopenia on 2 separate measurements, atypical lymphocytosis ≥ 5%, thrombocytopenia, elevation of hepatic transaminases and presence of CMV in blood. Tissue Invasive CMV required evidence of localized CMV infection in a biopsy or other appropriate symptom and relevant symptoms or signs of organ dysfunction. ITT population included all enrolled participants who had taken at least one dose of study medication.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Jan 2011
    The protocol amendment documented an increase in the number of participants, added a Per Protocol analysis population, clarified the assessments for CMV and acute rejection, deleted the analysis for treatment failures because this was already planned in a separate analysis, deleted the urinalysis and simplified a number of terms that were identified as confusing or unclear.
    02 Sep 2011
    The protocol amendment corrected an inconsistency between the synopsis and protocol exclusion criteria and incorporated a request from Agence Française de Sécurité Sanitaire des Produits de Santé (AFSAPPS) regarding hypersensitivity to valganciclovir excipients, and specifically stated that tablets were not recommended in children under the age of 6 years due to the risk of choking in this age group. This protocol amendment also added newer methods for the measurement of serum creatinine, added pregnancy testing for post-pubescent girls throughout the prophylaxis period (request from the Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte (BfArM, Germany), for pregnancy testing throughout the prophylaxis period), added the need for adequate contraception throughout the prophylaxis period (added at the request of the BfArM), modified the study medication storage details to be consistent with the product package insert and removed red blood cell count (RBC) from the hematology assessment.
