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.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Male children aged 7 to <11 years with an immunohistochemical and molecular diagnosis of DMD. 3. Able to complete the 2 screening 6MWTs with a minimal distance of at least 250 m each. In addition, the results of these tests must be within ±30 m of each other. 4. On a stable dose of systemic corticosteroids for at least 6 months. 5. At least 6 months worth of data on the 6MWT (this will be the “historical” 6MWT). From the moment of the historical 6MWT assessment(s), the child must not have received any compound that could potentially affect the 6MWT, with the exception of the stable steroid treatment.
    1. Bambini maschi di età tra 7 e &lt;11 anni con una diagnosi di DMD immunoistochimica e molecolare. 2. Bambini in grado di completare i due test di 6MWTs allo screening, con una distanza minima di almeno 250 metri ciascuno. Inoltre, i risultati di questi tests non devono differire tra di loro di ±30 m. 4. Bambini a dosaggio stabile di corticosteroidi sistemici per almeno 6 mesi. 5. Almeno 6 mesi di valore dei dati sul 6MWT (questo sarà lo storico 6MWT). Dal momento dell’effettuazione dello storico 6MWT, il bambino non dovra’ aver assunto alcun composto che possa potenzialmente inficiare il test, ad eccezione del trattamento stabile con steroidi.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Initiation of systemic corticosteroid therapy within 6 months prior to the start of study drug or change in systemic corticosteroid therapy (e.g., initiation, change in type of drug, dose modification not related to body weight change, schedule modification, interruption, discontinuation, or re initiation) within 6 months prior to the start of study drug.
    2. Use of any pharmacologic treatment, other than corticosteroids, that might have an effect on muscle strength since the time of the historical 6MWT and in any case within 3 months prior to the start of study treatment (e.g., growth hormone). Vitamin D, calcium, and integrators will be allowed.
    3. Surgery that might have an effect on muscle strength or function within 3 months before study entry or planned surgery at any time during the study.
    1. Inizio di una terapia con corticosteroidi entro i 6 mesi precedenti l’assunzione del farmaco in studio o cambiamenti nella terapia con corticosteroidi sistemici (es. Inizio, modifica del tipo di farmaco, modifica del dosaggio non legata a cambiamenti di peso, modifica della posologia, interruzione, o ripresa) nei 6 mesi precedenti l’inizio del farmaco in studio. 2. Uso di qualsiasi agente farmacologico oltre i corticosteroidi, che possa avere un effetto sulla forza muscolare dal momento del valore storico del 6MWT, e in ogni caso nei 3 mesi precedenti l’inizio del farmaco in studio (es. Ormone della crescita). Sono permessi Vitamina D, calcio e integratori 3. Trattamenti chirurgici che possano avere un effetto sulla forza o sulla funzionalità muscolare, effettuati nei 3 mesi precedenti l’inizio dello studio, oppure qualsiasi intervento chirurgico, già pianificato, in qualunque momento durante lo studio.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint of this study is change in the value of MFA% comparing the histology biopsies before and after 12 months of treatment with Givinostat.
    L’obiettivo primario dello studio è il cambiamento del valore di % MFA (area di fibra muscolare) confrontando le biopsie istologiche prima e dopo i 12 mesi di trattamento con Givinostat.

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • Change in additional histological endpoints (i.e., cross-sectional area, inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis, and muscle regeneration) after 12 months of treatment with Givinostat at the selected daily dose • Change in muscular function after 12 months of treatment with Givinostat at the selected daily dose based on the 6MWT • Change in muscular function after 12 months of treatment with Givinostat at the selected daily dose based on the NSAA • Change in muscular function after 12 months of treatment with Givinostat at the selected daily dose based the PUL
    • Cambiamento negli obbiettivi istologici aggiuntivi (es. area cross- sectional, infiammazione, necrosi, fibrosi e rigenerazione muscolare) dopo 12 mesi di trattamento con Givinostat alla dose giornaliera selezionata. • Cambiamento nella funzionalità muscolare dopo 12 mesi di trattamento con Givinostat alla dose giornaliera selezionata sulla base del 6MWT • Cambiamento nella funzionalità muscolare dopo 12 mesi di trattamento con Givinostat alla dose giornaliera selezionata sulla base del NSAA • Cambiamento nella funzionalità muscolare dopo 12 mesi di trattamento con Givinostat alla dose giornaliera selezionata sulla base del PUL
