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   44144   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7325   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 primary objective of this pilot study is to evaluate, by means of a specific cognitive test battery (Brief Repeatable Battery and Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System scale - Sorting Test), the slowing/reduction of cognitive dysfunction progression in RRMS patients after 18 months of treatment with fingolimod in comparison with interferon beta 1b treatment, and to evaluate which test of the battery is the most sensitive in detecting differences between treatment groups.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate: how the effects on cognitive dysfunction progression are associated to the effect of slowing the brain volume reduction at MRI that DMDs might have in RRMS patients, in the brain as a whole and in specific brain regions. In a subgroup of patients/sites, if and to what extent optical nerve atrophy as assessed by the RNFL thickness at the Spectralis OCT is predictive of the atrophy of the relevant brain regions and of cognitive deterioration and to what extent this is affected by DMD treatment. If fingolimod has effects on depression in MS, how the effects of fingolimod and IFN beta 1b on brain atrophy, on cognitive dysfunction progression and on depression in MS are associated. Changes in QoL, by mean of the MSQoL54, upon initiation of treatment with fingolimod 0.5 mg. Changes in fatigue. Impact of cognitive symptoms on patient work, financial status, assistance required, social activity. Evaluation in a subgroup how the SSTT correlates with results of the BRB or D-KEFS.
