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   44173   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Male or female of age 3 years or older
    • Clinically definite diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis according to the modified Gomez criteria (Roach 1998, Hyman 2000, Table 5-1).

    • Two Major Features from Table 5-1.
    • One Major Feature plus two Minor Features from Table 5-1.
    • Presence of at least one SEGA lesion identified by MRI or CT (according to local requirements).
    Note: SEGA lesions are only diagnosed in patients with TSC. They arise in the subependymal layer of the lateral ventricle and are usually located near the foramen of Monroe and enhance homogeneously with contrast on MRI with no evidence of surrounding edema.
    • If female and of child-bearing potential, documentation of negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment. Sexually active female patients (and female partners of male patients) must use adequate contraceptive measures while on study and for up to 8 weeks after ending treatment.
    • Written informed consent according to local guidelines
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Patients for whom SEGA-related surgery is required and planned
    • History of myocardial infarction, angina or stroke related to atherosclerosis
    • Known impaired lung function (e.g. FEV1 or DLCO ≤ 70% of predicted)
    • Significant hematological or hepatic abnormality (i.e. transaminase levels > 2.5 x ULN or serum bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN, hemoglobin < 9 g/dL, platelets < 80,000/mm3, absolute neutrophil count < 1,000/mm3).
    • Ongoing or active infection at date of enrollment
    • Patients with Hepatitis B or C
    • Prior history of organ transplantation
    • Recent surgery (involving entry into a body cavity or requiring sutures) within one month prior to enrollment
    • Use of an investigational drug within the 30 days prior to enrollment
    • Uncontrolled hyperlipidemia: Fasting serum cholesterol > 300 mg/dL OR >7.75 mmol/L AND fasting triglycerides > 2.5 x ULN
    • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus as defined by fasting serum glucose > 1.5 x ULN
    • Patients with bleeding diathesis or on oral anti-vitamin K medication
    • Serum creatinine > 1.5 x ULN.
    • Any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions which could cause unacceptable safety risks:
    • uncontrolled hypercholesterolemia/hypertriglyceridemia
    • Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of study drug (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome).
    • Patients with a known hypersensitivity to RAD001 or other rapamycin analogs (sirolimus, temsirolimus), or to its excipients
    • For the purpose of MRI assessments (if applicable):
    • Ferromagnetic metal implants other than those approved as safe for use in MR scanner (e.g., braces, some types of aneurysm clips, shrapnel)
    • Patients suffering from uncontrollable claustrophobia or physically unable to fit into the machine (e.g. obesity)
    • Patients with known history of HIV seropositivity
    • Inability to attend scheduled clinic visits and noncompliance with scheduled clinic visits required for dose monitoring, dose adjustment and toxicity managment
    • Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female fter conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG aboratory test.
    Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for 56 days after stopping RAD001 medication. Highly effective contraception methods include:
    • Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not
    acceptable methods of contraception
    • Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment
    • Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female subjects on the study the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that subject.
    • Combination of any two of the following (a+b or a+c, or b+c):
    a. Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%), for example hormone vaginal
    ring or transdermal hormone contraception.
    b. Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)
    c. Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or Occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository
    In case of use of oral contraception women should have been stable on the same pill for a minimum of 3 months before taking study treatment.
    Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate,
    history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child bearing potential.
    Sexually active males unless they use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and for 56 days after stopping RAD001 medication and should not father a child in this period. A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid
