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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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 confirm the efficacy of insulin degludec administered once daily plus mealtime insulin aspart in controlling glycaemia with respect to change from baseline in glycosylated haemoglobin (HBA1c) after 26 weeks of treatment. This is done by comparing the difference in change in HbA1c between insulin degludec + insulin aspart and insulin detemir + insulin aspart to a non-inferiority limit of 0.4%, and if non-inferiority is confirmed, to a superiority limit of 0%.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    ▪ To compare the efficacy and safety between the two treatment arms
    ▪ To investigate the pharmacokinetics of insulin degludec and insulin detemir in different age groups using a sparse sampling approach and population pharmacokinetic (PK) modelling.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

The child, if possible, parents or legal representative of the child must sign and date the Child Assent Form according to local requirements.
