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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 Jun 2013
    Se incluye un centro nuevo para conseguir el tamaño de la muestra establecido en el protocolo y no tener que solicitar una ampliación del periodo de reclutamiento. Este estudio podría revelar que la mejora de inmunidad frente a estos virus se debe a un mecanismo de reconocimiento cruzado: Es concebible que la mejora de la respuesta frente a estos virus en individuos tratados con el producto se traduzca en cambios en la identidad y número (breath) de epítopos específicos de los virus que son reconocidos. Por ello, en este objetivo sintetizaremos epitopos solapantes correspondiente a las proteínas de la capside de una cepa de estos virus y mediante ensayos de producción de citocinas por ELISPOT determinaremos el número e identidad de los péptidos que son reconocidos en los individuos antes y a lo largo de las inmunizaciones. Los péptidos que sean objeto de reconocimiento se compararán con los proteomas de las bacterias incluidas en el producto.
    02 Jan 2015
    El Dr. Rafael Calderón deja de prestar sus servicios en el Hospital de Manises, y por tanto como Investigador Principal del ensayo. El nuevo Investigador Principal será la Dra. Mª José Palao Ortuño. Actualmente la Dra. Palao es Investigador Colaborador de este ensayo y desempeña las mismas funciones que el Investigador Principal. Se amplía el periodo de reclutamiento a 3 años, debido a la imposibilidad de reclutar el nº de sujetos establecidos en el protocolo (120), en el periodo establecido de 2 años. Por ello también se amplía la duración del ensayo un año más.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
