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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    o Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR)>300 dyn*sec*cm-5
    - No treatment with riociguat or PDE5-inhibitor, endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) or prostanoid with a minimum time frame of at least 3 days, or more at the discretion of the investigator prior to start of riociguat treatment.
    - Patients who are able to understand and follow instructions and who should be able to participate in the study for the entire period.
    - Unspecific treatments which may also be used for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension such as oral anticoagulants, diuretics, digitalis, calcium channel blockers or oxygen supplementation are permitted. However, treatment with anticoagulants must have been started at least 90 days before Week 0 (Visit 1)
    - Women without childbearing potential defined as postmenopausal women (= permanent absence of monthly periods for more than 2 years), women with bilateral tubal ligation, women with bilateral ovarectomy, and women with hysterectomy can be included in the study. Women with childbearing potential can only be included in the study if a serological pregnancy test is negative and a combination of safe contraception methods is used throughout the study.
    - Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception when sexually active. This applies since signing of the informed consent form until the time point of safety follow-up of 30 days after the last study drug administration. Acceptable methods of contraception include (i) condoms (male or female) with or without a spermicidal agent; (ii) diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide; (iii) intra-uterine device; (iv) hormone-based contraception
    - Los pacientes deben haber firmado el consentimiento informado por escrito para participar en el estudio tras haber recibido la información adecuada y antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento específico del estudio.
    - Pacientes de 18 a 80 años en el momento de la selección
    - Pacientes con HPTEC inoperable
    - El diagnóstico se basa en (realizado como máximo 1 año antes de la selección)
    o Angiografía pulmonar realizada con anterioridad, y/o
    o Angiografía pulmonar por TC o RM, y/o
    o Gammagrafía de ventilación y perfusión (V/P) Y
    o Cateterismo cardíaco derecho realizado con anterioridad (realizado como máximo 1 año antes de la selección) en el que se confirme una presión arterial pulmonar media (PAPm) > 25 mm Hg
    o Pacientes con tratamiento anticoagulante completo durante al menos los 3 meses previos a la inclusión en el estudio

    - Pacientes con HP recurrente o residual tras una EP que hayan recibido al menos 90 días de anticoagulación completa tras la cirugía
    o Cateterismo cardíaco derecho (CCD) a los 180 días de la cirugía en el que se confirme:
    o PAPm > 25 mm Hg y presión de enclavamiento capilar pulmonar (PECP) menor o igual a 15 mm Hg
    o Resistencia vascular pulmonar (RVP) > 300 dina*s*cm-5
    - Ningún tratamiento con riociguat o con inhibidores de PDE5, antagonistas del receptor de endotelina (ARE) o prostanoides en un intervalo mínimo de tiempo de al menos 3 días, o más según el criterio del investigador, antes del inicio del tratamiento con riociguat.
    - Pacientes que sean capaces de entender y seguir las instrucciones y que puedan participar en el estudio durante todo el periodo.
    - Están permitidos los tratamientos inespecíficos que también se puedan utilizar para el tratamiento de la hipertensión pulmonar, como anticoagulantes orales, diuréticos, digitálicos, antagonistas del calcio o suplementos de oxígeno.
