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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare the safety profiles of the ivabradine modified release (MR) formulation and ivabradine immediate release (IR) formulation over a 6-month period in patients with symptomatic chronic heart failure (CHF), LVEF ≤ 35% and under stable cardiovascular condition and treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Study treatment could be prematurely and definitively discontinued by the investigator for the following reasons: IMP not tolerated (occurrence of a suspected adverse reaction which causes discomfort to the patient, leads to interruption of usual activities) or is considered by the investigator as a safety issue (e.g. significant symptoms of low HR or HR < 50bpm on the lower doses of IMP treatment) IMP no longer appropriate (e.g. permanent atrial fibrillation). IMP considered as contraindicated (e.g. pregnancy, sick sinus syndrome or concomitant administration of a strong cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitor). Unwillingness of the patient to continue with the study. The occurrence of a serious adverse event did not automatically lead to definitive discontinuation of the IMP. Depending on the clinical status and the medical needs, the IMP could be temporarily stopped and restarted according to investigator’s opinion.

    During the randomised double-blind treatment period, patients received the study treatment (either ivabradine MR or IR and a placebo capsule or tablet), which were taken orally twice daily, at 12-hour intervals in the morning (one capsule and one tablet) and the evening (one tablet) during meals. The IMP starting dose was ivabradine MR 15 mg o.d. / IR 5 mg bid or matching placebo at D0. At the subsequent follow-up visits, the IMP was either maintained at the current dose, or increased in dose or reduced in dose or discontinued, depending on the patient’s ECG resting HR and tolerability

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Emergent adverse events have been analysed using descriptive statistics: The safety assessment showed that MR and IR ivabradine formulations were very similar in terms of frequency of emergent adverse events as well as AE profile, showing a high consistency with the existing SmPC of ivabradine.

    Amendment No. 1 was applicable in Argentine. The objective of this amendment was to comply with the requirement of the Medicine Agency of Argentina- ANMAT (Administración Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnología Médica) for the implementation of the clinical trial in Argentina.

    29 Apr 2013
    Amendment No. 2 concerned all investigational sites in all countries. The main changes were: - To comply with the European Medicine Agency scientific advice (issued on the 17 January 2013): Given the importance of clinical data on the ivabradine IR and MR formulations switch, the number of patients evaluated in the setting of 3-month switch period was increased from 60 to 120 in each treatment group. Patient’s background treatment (in particular beta-blockers) at the time of formulation switch was collected. - Documentation of events of special interest for ivabradine (bradycardia, ECG prolonged QT interval, eye disorders, rhythm and conduction disorders, increase in blood pressure in hypertensive patients, immune disorders) was detailed, in order to harmonise the study protocol with the latest proposed version of the EU-Risk Management Plan (RMP) of ivabradine hydrochloride (issued on the 22 January 2013). - The amendment also included diverse adaptations to improve the study patient’s follow-up by the investigators and spelling corrections.
    26 Jun 2013
    Amendment No. 3 was applicable in Poland. The objective was to comply with the local regulatory requirement. A pregnancy test at the beginning of the study and at every patient visit for women with childbearing potential was added. This amendment was approved by the Polish Competent Authority and Ethic Committees. Finally, due to dynamic recruitment in other participation countries, there was no Polish centre opened for participation in this study.
    22 Jan 2014
    Amendment No. 4 was applicable in Ukraine for which, according to the local regulation, a substantial protocol amendment was required in case of any change in total study population. The objective was to notify to the local Competent Authorities the recruitment progressed ahead of schedule. This was due to unexpectedly slow completion of the target of 120 patients for Holter assessment. Thus, the final study population achieved 791 patients included.
