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.

    Índice de Actividad de la Enfermedad al final del tratamiento ? 2 con una puntuación de hemorragia rectal = 0 y ninguna otra puntuación individual > 1.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary endpoints will be:
    ? Rectal bleeding evaluation by means of DAI sub-score (from 0 to 3).
    ? Stool frequency evaluation by means of DAI sub-score (from 0 to 3).
    A clinical response for each of these parameters is defined as a sub-score improvement of at least 1 point over baseline.
    The histological response to the treatments, defined as an improvement of the Histological Index (HI ? see Appendix III) of at least 1 point at the end of the study (a final HI score of ?1 will be defined as a histological remission) will also be evaluated as additional exploratory end-point.
    The serum C-reactive protein and Fibrinogen will be monitored to investigate possible correlation between clinical/endoscopic outcome and serum level of these inflammatory markers.
    A validated specific questionnaire, the SIBDQ by McMaster University, will be administered to evaluate changes in patients? Quality of Life.
    The safety and tolerability of the treatments will be investigated through AEs recording, vital signs, ECG and laboratory evaluation.
    Los criterios de valoración secundarios serán:
    ? Evaluación de la hemorragia rectal mediante la puntuación del IAE (de 0 a 3).
    ? Evaluación de la frecuencia de deposiciones mediante la puntuación del IAE (de 0 a 3).
    Una respuesta clínica para cada uno de estos parámetros se define como una mejoría en la puntuación de al menos 1 punto con respecto al valor inicial.
    La respuesta histológica a los tratamientos, definida como una mejoría del índice Histológico (IH - ver Apéndice III) de al menos 1 punto al final del estudio (una puntuación final en el IH de ?1 se definirá como una remisión histológica) también se evaluará como un criterio de valoración exploratorio adicional.

    La proteína C reactiva y el fibrinógeno en suero se controlarán para investigar una posible correlación entre el resultado clínico/endoscópico y el nivel de suero de estos marcadores inflamatorios.

    Se administrará un cuestionario específico validado, el SIBDQ de la McMaster University, para evaluar los cambios en la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
    La seguridad y tolerabilidad de los tratamientos serán investigadas mediante los registros de AA, las constantes vitales, los ECG y la evaluación del laboratorio.
