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.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Safety assessment will performed during screening, then at Baseline (and during the 4-hour post-dose observation), and 2, 4, 10, 16, 24, 32, 42, and 52 weeks after Baseline
    Blood will be collected at Baseline and as possible at each subsequent on-treatment visit through Week 52 for purposes of population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of MT concentrations.
    A single blood sample for genotyping may be collected any time after eligibility for randomization and participation in the study has been confirmed at Baseline (Visit 2).
    Se realizarán evaluaciones de la seguridad durante la selección con objeto de valorar la elegibilidad del sujeto para su inclusión en el estudio. A los sujetos incluidos se les realizarán evaluaciones de la seguridad en el momento basal (antes y después de la dosis durante el periodo de observación de 4 horas), 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 42 y 52 semanas después del momento basal y aproximadamente 4 semanas después de la última dosis del medicamento del estudio (si procede). Se obtendrán muestras de sangre en el momento basal y, en la medida de lo posible, en todas las visitas posteriores durante el tratamiento hasta la semana 52, para el análisis de farmacocinética poblacional de las concentraciones de MT. Se obtendrá una sola muestra de sangre para genotipificación

    Subjects who complete the treatment period may be offered an opportunity to subsequently receive treatment with LMTM in a separate open-label extension study. Otherwise, a follow-up visit will occur approximately 28 days after the last dose of study drug for those subjects discontinuing early or not entering the open-label extension.
    A los sujetos que completen el periodo de tratamiento se les podrá ofrecer la oportunidad de recibir tratamiento con LMTM posteriormente en un estudio abierto de extensión aparte. De no ser así, los sujetos que abandonen prematuramente o que no entren en la extensión abierta realizarán una visita de seguimiento aproximadamente 28 días después de la última dosis del medicamento del estudio
