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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

In questo studio, i metodi contraccettivi accettabili dal punto di vista medico includono, a titolo esemplificativo:
    Trattamento contraccettivo orale o depot, con almeno 30 µg di etinilestradiolo per ogni assunzione o 50 µg di etinilestradiolo per assunzione se associato ad una delle seguenti sostanze: carbamazepina, fenobarbital, primidone, fenitoina, oxcarbazepina, iperico o rifampicina.
    Contraccettivo a barriera: dispositivo intrauterino, diaframma con spermicida, preservativo maschile o femminile con spermicida Astinenza dai rapporti sessuali.
    Criteri di inclusione solo per i soggetti LTFU
    Soggetti di sesso maschile o femminile che abbiano partecipato ad uno studio principale, con diagnosi di epilessia confermata e per i quali si prevede un ragionevole beneficio dalla somministrazione di BRV a lungo termine.
    Criteri di inclusione solo per i soggetti arruolati direttamente.
    - Il soggetto è di sesso maschile o femminile, di età compresa tra =4 anni e <17 anni.
    - Il soggetto presenta diagnosi clinica di POS secondo la classificazione ILAE.
    - Il soggetto presenta un EEG compatibile con la diagnosi clinica di POS.

    - Il soggetto sta assumendo almeno 1 AED. Tutti gli AED devono essere assunti a dose stabile per almeno 7 giorni prima della ScrV.
    È consentita la stimolazione del nervo vago stabile per almeno 2 settimane prima della ScrV e verrà considerata come AED concomitante. Le benzodiazepine assunte più di una volta a settimana (per qualsiasi indicazione) saranno considerate come AED concomitante.

    - Una qualsiasi condizione medica che, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, giustifichi l’esclusione.
    - Valore >1,5 volte l’ULN di uno qualsiasi dei seguenti livelli: ALT, AST, ALP, oppure bilirubina totale >1,0 volte l’ULN (bilirubina totale =1,5 volte l’ULN iper sindrome di Gilbert nota).

    La partecipazione dei soggetti allo studio durerà per almeno 3 anni dall'ingresso in studio, fino all'approvazione di BRV per i soggetti pediatrici nella loro fascia di età, fino a che è in corso un programma di accesso in base ai requisiti nazionali specifici ed alle linee guida legali e regolatorie, o fino a che i soggetti passeranno ad un altro studio con BRV o fino a che lo sviluppo dell'IMP non sia terminato dallo Sponsor nella relativa fascia di età, a seconda di cosa si verifichi prima.
