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   43870   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7289   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Provide written informed consent prior to any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care.

If a subject comes to consciousness while still in the study and per the Investigator's
    judgment the subject is able to read, assess, understand, and make
    his/her own decision to participate in the trial, the subject can agree to
    continue study participation and the subject may be re-consented, if
    required by local country and institution specific guidelines.

    2. Be males or females aged 18 years or older. If female, subject must
    not be pregnant or nursing, and is either:

    contraceptives plus barrier method), or
    - Has a vasectomized partner, or
    - Is currently abstinent from sexual intercourse.
    Subjects must be willing to practice the chosen contraceptive method or remain abstinent during the conduct of the study and for at least 35 days after last dose of study medication.
    Non-vasectomized males are required to practice effective birth control methods (eg, abstinence, use of condom, or use of other barrier device) during the treatment period and for at least 35 days after last dose of study medication.

    • At least 1 of the following signs and/or symptoms must be present within the 24 hours prior to intubation OR within the 48 hours after intubation in a patient who has been either hospitalized for =48 hours orwho has been discharged from a hospital within the prior 7 days (includes patients institutionalized in skilled nursing or other long-term care facility):
    - A new onset of cough (or worsening of baseline cough)
    - Dyspnea, tachypnea, or respiratory rate greater than 30 per minute, particularly if any or all of these signs or symptoms are progressive in nature
    - Hypoxemia defined as an arterial blood gas partial pressure of oxygen less than 60 mmHg while the subject is breathing room air, OR a pulse oximetry oxygen saturation less than 90% while the subject is breathing room air, OR worsening of the ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2).
    For VABP, receiving mechanical ventilation =48 hours and at least one of the following:
    • Acute changes made in the ventilator support system to enhance oxygenation, as determined by worsening partial pressure of oxygen on arterial blood gas, or worsening PaO2/FiO2;

    4. Chest radiograph obtained within the 24 hs prior the first dose of the study drug shows the presence of new or progressive infiltrate(s) suggestive of bacterial pneumonia (based on Investigator
    evaluation or report from a qualified medical professional who is not the Investigator). A computed tomography (CT) scan may be used in place of a chest X-ray.

    5. Have the following clinical criteria within the 24 hours prior to the
    first dose of study drug:
    • Purulent tracheal secretions
    • And at least 1 of the following:

    2. Anamnesi documentata di reazione di ipersensibilità (o allergica) moderata o grave a un qualsiasi antibatterico beta lattamico
    Nota: un'anamnesi di eruzione cutanea durante il trattamento con un antibiotico beta lattamico non esclude automaticamente un soggetto (es., un soggetto con anamnesi di eruzione cutanea lieve seguita dalla ri-esposizione senza conseguenze può essere arruolato).
    3. Trattamento con terapia antibiotica inalatoria o sistemica efficace contro patogeni Gram-negativi che causano VNP, per >24 ore (cioè >1 dose di un antibiotico una volta al giorno, >2 dosi di un antibiotico due volte al giorno e così via) nelle 72 ore precedenti la prima dose del farmaco in studio.
    Ammessi farmaci con attività diretta solo contro patogeni Gram-positivi [es., daptomicina, vancomicina, linezolid].
    Eccezioni
    ¿ Persistenza/peggioramento dei segni e/o sintomi di VNP nonostante =48 ore di terapia antibiotica per il trattamento della VNP corrente, e (a) una coltura LRT ottenuta mentre il sogg. è in terapia antibiotica inefficace per questo episodio di VNP ha evidenziato crescita di un patogeno Gram-neg e (b) il patogeno isolato non è noto come resistente a uno dei farmaci in studio.
    ¿ Sviluppo di segni e/o sintomi di VNP dopo aver ricevuto =48 ore di terapia antibatterica per il trattamento di una infezione oltre a un'indicazione diversa dalla VNP corrente.NOTA soggetti in profilassi antibiotica dell'infezione da=48 (piuttosto che il trattamento di un'infezione documentata o sospetta) non sono idonei per l'arruolamento sotto questa eccezione
    ¿ Trattamento con un antibiotico non assorbito utilizzato per la decontaminazione intestinale (ad esempio, eritromicina a basso dosaggio) o per sradicare la C. difficile.
    4. La colorazione Gram al basale ha evidenziato la presenza solo di batteri Gram-positivi.
    Eccezione: se il soggetto presenta una coltura del tratto respiratorio inferiore con sviluppo di un patogeno Gram-negativo ottenuta nelle 72 ore precedenti la prima dose del farmaco in studio, questi risultati sostituiranno i risultati della colorazione Gram di batteri solo Gram-positivi.
    5.

    6. Trattamento per >24 ore con carbapenem nei 7 giorni precedenti la prima dose del farmaco in studio.
    7. Sviluppo di un agente patogeno Gram-negativo resistente a meropenem o resistente a ceftolozane/tazobactam da una coltura respiratoria o ematica, nei 15 giorni precedenti la prima dose del farmaco in studio.
    8. Sviluppo di malattia renale allo stadio terminale definita come CLCR <15 ml/min. O necessità di dialisi peritoneale o emodialisi o emofiltrazione, O produzione di urina <20 ml/ora nell'arco di 24 ore.

    ¿ ALT AST > 3 x il limite superiore normale (ULN)
    ¿ Bilirubina totale >2 volte ULN
    ¿ Fosfatasi alcalina >4 volte ULN
    Nota: soggetti con valore di fosfatasi alcalina >4 vt ULN e <5 vt ULN ammissibili se questo valore è storicamente stabile.
    10. Ematocrito <21% o emoglobina <7 gm/dl
    11. Neutropenia con conta assoluta dei neutrofili <500/mm3
    12. Conta piastrinica <50.000/mm3
    13. Sopravvivenza prevista <72 ore
    14. Condizione o circostanza che, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, potrebbe compromettere la sicurezza del soggetto o la qualità dei dati dello studio.
    15. Partecipazione a studio clinico con un prodotto terapeutico sperimentale nei 30 gg precedenti la prima dose del farmaco in studio.
