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   7293   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 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    To evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses of MK-7655 + imipenem/cilastatin (250mg and 125mg), as compared to imipenem/cilastatin alone, with respect to the clinical response assessment profile in the treatment of adult patients with cIAI at completion of IV study therapy

    To evaluate safety and tolerability of 2 dose levels of MK-7655 + imipenem/cilastatin (250 mg and 125 mg).

    The safety endpoints will include all adverse experiences, including clinical adverse experiences (plus local tolerability) and laboratory adverse experiences. These adverse experiences will be identified based on careful assessment or measurement of patient symptoms, vital signs and/or physical examination findings, and laboratory safety measures (from blood and urine).
    Evaluar la eficacia de dos dosis de MK-7655 + imipenem/cilastatina (250 mg y 125 mg), en comparación con imipenem/cilastatina solos, con respecto al perfil de valoración de la respuesta clínica en el tto de pacientes adultos con IIAc al finalizar el tto i.v. del estudio (INIV)
    Evaluar el perfil de seguridad y tolerabilidad de dos dosis de MK-7655 + imipenem/cilastatina (250 mg y 125 mg)
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary endpoint (clinical response) will focus on the time point at the immediate conclusion of treatment with MK-7655 +
    imipenem/cilastatin - 4 to 14 days post initiation of IV study therapy
    El objetivo primario (respuesta clínica) se focaliza en el momento de conclusión del tratamiento con MK-7655 + imipinem/cilastatina - de 4 a 10 días después de iniciar el tratamiento i.v. del estudio.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Microbiological response will also be evaluated as secondary endpoints at the early follow-up (EFU) and the late follow-up (LFU) visits and as an exploratory endpoint at the global follow-up (GFU) visit.

    In the presence of a missing culture at a particular time point, a favorable clinical response (or global response at the GFU visit) will be required for presuming a favorable microbiological response.
    También se evaluará la respuesta microbiológica como criterio secundario de valoración en las visitas de seguimiento inicial (SI) y seguimiento posterior (SP) y como criterio de valoración exploratorio en la visita de seguimiento global (SG).
    Cuando falte un cultivo en un momento puntual determinado, se requerirá una respuesta clínica favorable (o una respuesta global en la visita de SG) para suponer una respuesta microbiológica favorable
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    A global response will also be evaluated in an exploratory fashion in this study at a fixed time-point following randomization (Day 28 [+ 7 days], also known as GFU visit)
    En el estudio también se evaluará una respuesta global de forma exploratoria en un momento puntual fijo tras la aleatorización (Día 28 [+ 7 días], también conocido como visita de SG).
