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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 evaluate the effects on the coronary vasculature, as assessed by myocardial perfusion/coronary flow reserve, at the end of the treatment (EoT) of 48hr i.v. administration of 30 μg/kg/24hr serelaxin or placebo; and to evaluate the effects on AIx at the EoT of 48hr i.v. administration of 30 μg/kg/24hr serelaxin or placebo
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the international Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Of the 58 participants in the safety analysis set, 56 completed the treatment and follow-up period as planned (i.e. Day 30 and Day 180). Two participants, one in each treatment group, discontinued study prematurely due to AEs (unstable angina)

    		 Systemic clearance of serelaxin [2]
    End point description
    Systemic clearance was estimated using the rate of serelaxin infusion and the steady state concentration

    End point timeframe
    From pre-dose on Day 1 until 48h after the start of drug infusion
    Notes
    [2] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Summary statistics of serelaxin serum PK concentrations Blood samples were taken to measure serelaxin concentration at Pre-dose on Day 1, and at 24h, 48h, 50h, 54h, and Day 30 after the start of the 48h drug infusion. The steady state concentration was estimated using the serum concentration at the 48h timepoint
