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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    Evaluate the LDL-C-lowering effects of ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg compared to ERN/LRPT 2 g coadministered with simvastatin 40 mg. Hypothesis: ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg is equivalent to ERN/LRPT 2 g coadministered with simvastatin 40 mg in reducing LDL-C.
    1. Valutare gli effetti di ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg sulla riduzione di LDL-C rispetto a ERN/LRPT 2 g in co-somministrazione con simvastatina 40 mg. Ipotesi: ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg e' equivalente alla co-somministrazione di ERN/LRPT 2 g con simvastatina 40 mg nella riduzione di LDL-C.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1 Evaluate the HDL-C-raising effects of ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg compared to ERN/LRPT 2 g coadministered with simvastatin 40 mg. Hypothesis: ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg is equivalent to ERN/LRPT 2 g coadministered with simvastatin 40 mg in raising HDL-C. Note: For HDL-C secondary hypothesis, the criterion for bioequivalence is that the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the difference in percent change from baseline between the two treatments falls within ±4% . 2. Estimate the differences in percent change in LDL-C from baseline between ERN/LRPT/SIM 1 g/40 mg and ERN/LRPT 1 g coadministered with 40 mg of simvastatin, respectively, for 4 weeks. 3. Estimate the differences in percent change in HDL-C from baseline between ERN/LRPT/SIM 1 g/40 mg and ERN/LRPT 1 g coadministered with 40 mg of simvastatin, respectively, for 4 weeks. 4. Evaluate the tolerability of ERN/LRPT/SIM.
    1. Valutare gli effetti di ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg sull’aumento di HDL-C rispetto a ERN/LRPT 2 g in co-somministrazione con simvastatina 40 mg. Ipotesi: ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg e' equivalente a ERN/LRPT 2 g in co-somministrazione con simvastatina 40 mg nell’aumento di HDL-C.Nota: per l’ipotesi secondaria su HDL-C, il criterio per la bioequivalenza e' che l’intervallo di confidenza (IC) al 95% della differenza di scostamento percentuale tra i due trattamenti rispetto al livello basale sia entro ±4%. 2. Stimare le differenze di scostamento percentuale dal valore basale di LDL-C tra ERN/LRPT/SIM 1 g/40 mg e ERN/LRPT 1 g in co-somministrazione con 40 mg di simvastatina, rispettivamente, per 4 settimane 3. Stimare le differenze di scostamento percentuale dal valore basale di HDL-C tra ERN/LRPT/SIM 1 g/40 mg e ERN/LRPT 1 g in co-somministrazione con 40 mg di simvastatina, rispettivamente, per 4 settimane. 4.Valutare la tollerabilita' di ERN/LRPT/SIM

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    General 1. Patient is male or female ≥18 and ≤85 years of age on day of signing informed consent. 2. Patient understands the study’s procedures; alternative treatments available, risks involved with the study, and voluntarily agrees to participate by giving written informed consent. 3. A female patient must meet ONE of the following: a. Of reproductive potential and agrees to remain abstinent or use (or have their partner use) 2 acceptable methods of birth control for the study duration. An acceptable method of birth control is defined as: intrauterine device (IUD) diaphragm with spermicide condom vasectomy contraceptive sponge (with spermicide) is acceptable as a single method of birth control but requires one of the following as a second method: intrauterine device (IUD), diaphragm, condom or vasectomy. Vasectomy: A successful vasectomy is defined as: (1) microscopic documentation of azoospermia, or (2) a vasectomy more than 2 years ago with no resultant pregnancy despite sexual activity without birth control postvasectomy. b. Not of reproductive potential is eligible without requiring the use of contraception. Definition of ''not of reproductive potential'': one who has either of the following: reached natural menopause, defined as: 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum FSH levels (at Visit 1) in the postmenopausal range (per central lab) or 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea. Spontaneous amenorrhea does not include cases for which there is an underlying disease that causes amenorrhea (e.g., anorexia nervosa). 6 weeks post surgical hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy. Bilateral tubal ligation without subsequent restorative procedure. Protocol-Specific Inclusion Criteria 4. Patient has a history of primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia. Note: Determined by medical history, historical and/or current lab values, and Investigator’s judgment. 5. Patient meets one of the following criteria at Visit 2: Patient is high risk (CHD or CHD risk equivalent based on NCEP ATP III guidelines) AND has LDL-C ≤ 200 mg/dL (≤ 5.17 mmol/L). Patient is NOT high risk (based on NCEP ATP III guidelines) AND has LDL-C ≤ 250 mg/dL (≤ 6.47 mmol/L). 6. Patient meets one of the following triglyceride (TG) criteria at Visit 2: a. Patient on niacin, statin, or fibrate must have TG <500 mg/dL (5.65 mmol/L). b. Patient not on an LMT or on LMT other than niacin, statin, or fibrate must have TG <600 mg/dL (6.77 mmol/L).
    1. Pazienti di sesso maschile o femminile di eta' ≥18 e ≤85 al momento della firma del consenso informato. 2. Pazienti in grado di comprendere tutte le procedure, i trattamenti alternativi disponibili e i rischi legati allo studio e decidere volontariamente se partecipare o meno alla sperimentazione, fornendo un consenso informato scritto. 3. I pazienti di sesso femminile devono soddisfare almeno UNO dei criteri riportati di seguito. a. Se in eta' fertile, devono accettare di astenersi dall'avere rapporti sessuali o di utilizzare (loro o il loro compagno) 2 metodi contraccettivi accettabili per tutta la durata dello studio. Un metodo contraccettivo accettabile puo' essere: • dispositivo intrauterino (IUD); • diaframma con spermicida; • preservativo; • vasectomia; • spugna contraccettiva (con spermicida) e' accettabile come uno dei metodi contraccettivi, ma deve essere combinato a uno dei seguenti: dispositivo intrauterino (IUD), diaframma, preservativo o vasectomia. Vasectomia: una vasectomia valida viene definita come (1) prova microscopica di azoospermia o (2) vasectomia eseguita piu' di 2 anni prima senza successive gravidanze nonostante l'attivita' sessuale in assenza di contraccezione post-vasectomia. b. Le donne non in eta' fertile non devono usare un anticoncezionale per essere idonee. • Una donna non in eta' fertile e' definita come una donna che si trova in una delle condizioni seguenti: o ha raggiunto la menopausa naturale, definita come 6 mesi di amenorrea spontanea con livelli di FSH sierici (visita 1) nell'intervallo di postmenopausa (secondo il laboratorio centrale) oppure 12 mesi di amenorrea spontanea. L'amenorrea spontanea non include i casi in cui esiste una malattia sottostante che causi l'amenorrea (per es. l'anoressia nervosa); o e' stata sottoposta, almeno 6 settimane prima, a un intervento chirurgico di isterectomia o di ooforectomia bilaterale con o senza isterectomia; o e' stata sottoposta a un intervento chirurgico di legatura bilaterale delle tube senza successiva procedura ricostruttiva.
