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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    To show relevant beneficial effect of BF2.649 on EDS compared to placebo in add on to sodium oxybate in narcoleptic patients with residual EDS.
    This trial will characterize the efficacy of BF2.649 compared to placebo in showing an incremental improvement to the situation achieved by the use of sodium oxybate particularly in terms of a reduction of EDS as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness scale (ESS). In addition the change in the average number of cataplexy attacks per week will be assessed.

    •Patient without any medical care insurance
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary measure of efficacy will be the changes in Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness scale (ESS), and based on the change from baseline (average V1 and V2) of the score of ESS (average V5 and V6).

    •Number of sleep attacks and sleepiness episodes (as recorded in patient diaries),
    •Changes in the average number of cataplexy attacks per week (as recorded in patient diaries) between the 2-week baseline (V1-V2) and the 4-week stable treatment period (V4-V6),
    •Severity of EDS measured by the Clinical Global Impression of Change and of Severity (CGI-C and CGI-S on EDS)
    •Severity of cataplexy measured by the Clinical Global Impression of Change and of Severity (CGI-C and CGI-S on cataplexy)
    •European Quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D)
    •Patient’s Global Opinion on effect of treatment
    •Tolerability as measured by Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE), Changes in Physical examination and Vital signs
    •Withdrawal symptoms assessed by DSM IV questionnaire
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary end point will be evaluated after 14 days, 28 days, 49 days and 56 days double blind treatment and one week placebo follow-up.
