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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Milestone presents the number of subjects who completed PTFU period at given time points.
    [2] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Milestone presents the number of subjects who completed PTFU period at given time points.
    [3] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Jun 2013
    ● Modified the rescue therapy permitted for endometriosis-associated pain in Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Spain to allow the use of a combination product containing tramadol 37.5 mg and acetaminophen 325 mg. ● Revised the list of protocol signatories in Appendix B.
    18 Jun 2013
    ● Updated the Overall Study Design and Plan section to reflect the revised approximate number of sites planned for the study, the clarification of pregnancy testing around timing of Day 1, and the expanded Screening Period based on cycle length changes. ● Modified the following key inclusion criteria: ○ Expanded the endometriosis clinical laparoscopic diagnosis window to 10 years. ○ The menstrual cycle window was expanded, and only 1 menstrual cycle would be required to proceed to the Screening Period. ○ Expanded the window during which 2 menstrual cycles were required to occur in order to proceed to the Treatment Period, Day 1. ○ Clarified conditions that would interfere with obtaining adequate DXA measurements ○ Defined which analgesics were to be used in each participating country ● Modified the following key exclusion criteria: ○ Clarified that the use of any known inducers of CYP3A was prohibited within 1 month prior to Day 1. ○ Updated the description of major psychiatric disorders that would result in subject exclusion and expanded to include post-Traumatic stress disorder. ● Updated the Table of Prohibited Medications to indicate that one time use of Cytotec was allowed with the endometrial biopsy procedure required for the study. ● Updated the Table of Permitted Rescue Therapy for endometriosis-associated pain to allow the combination hydrocodone/acetaminophen with 300 mg of acetaminophen since the 300 mg and 325 mg formulations are considered to be equivalent and add the opioids analgesics used in Canada. ● Revised rescue therapy to allow the use of both protocol allowed rescue analgesics simultaneously. ● Updated the Study Procedures Section to describe the Pap test results required for enrollment in the study, and to clarify premedication use for the endometrial biopsy procedure. ● Updated details related to the interim analysis based on the Sponsor's decision regarding the timing of the start of the second pivotal study.
    18 Jun 2013
    (continued) ● Changed the purpose of the interim analysis based on internal decision to start the second pivotal study with the current elagolix data available at the time.
    03 Jul 2014
    ● Updated the Overall Study Design Plan to clarify Month 6 Treatment visit was Day 1 of extension Study M12-821. ● Revised entry criteria to: ○ Clarified Screening criteria for documentation of menstrual cycles and intervals, malignancy, suicide, use of corticosteroids, and types of investigational studies and products; ○ Updated Pap Test to include biopsy with colposcopy; ○ Clarified use of QTcF or QTcB to evaluate QT interval of 12-lead ECG. ● Added procedures required to be conducted if an additional study drug kit(s) was dispensed at Study Day 168 ± 5 days. ● Updated ECG section to add QT interval correction formula.
    13 Jul 2015
    ● Updated Screening, Treatment, and PTFU Period study activities to further describe physical examination and pregnancy testing requirements, as well as assessment of vital signs and ECGs. ● Added criteria for consideration of clinically significant BMD changes as AEs ● Updated Management of BMD Loss at Month 6 to capture < 8% BMD in the femoral neck as being eligible for participation in the extension study.
