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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of once daily treatment with esomeprazole in pediatric and adolescent patients 12 to 17 years of age, inclusive, with clinically diagnosed GERD.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with ICH/Good Clinical Practice and applicable regulatory requirements and the AstraZeneca policy on Bioethics. The final Clinical Study Protocol (CSP), including the final version of the Informed Consent Form and all advertising used to recruit patients, had to be approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) before enrollment of any patient into the study.All patients (and their parents/guardians) were provided with all the information necessary to make an informed decision about their participation in the study, including the nature and intended purpose of the study, possible benefits and possible risks. All information in the informed consent form was provided in language understandable to the patients and their parents/guardians. The patient’s parent/guardian’s signed and dated informed consent as well as the patient’s signed and dated assent were obtained before conducting any procedure specifically for the study. If the patient or patient’s parents/guardians could not read, the informed consent form (or assent) was signed and dated by an impartial witness. The person who discussed the informed consent information with the patient also signed and dated the form.Patients could be discontinued from study treatment and assessments at any time, voluntary by the patient who was free to discontinue at anay time, or at the discretion of the investigator(s)
    Background therapy
    		 PPI use within 14 days prior to randomization (Visit 2), including over-the-counter (OTC) PRILOSEC® (AstraZeneca LP) was exclusion criteria, as was any prescription or OTC treatment use for symptoms of GERD, such as H2RA or prokinetics, within 3 days (72 hours) prior to randomization (Visit 2). Antacids were allowed, except for those containing bismuth.
