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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7337   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of tapentadol PR versus oxycodone/naloxone PR in non-opioid pre-treated subjects with uncontrolled severe chronic low back pain with a neuropathic pain component.
    El objetivo principal consiste en evaluar la efectividad, la seguridad y la tolerabilidad de tapentadol LP en comparación con oxicodona/naloxona LP en sujetos con lumbalgia crónica intensa no controlada con un componente de dolor neuropático no tratados previamente con opioides.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    ? To evaluate and compare tolerability profiles of tapentadol PR versus oxycodone/naloxone PR during the titration period and throughout the trial with a focus on gastrointestinal and central nervous system-related tolerability.
    ? To evaluate the impact of tapentadol PR and oxycodone/naloxone PR on neuropathic pain-related symptoms.
    ? To compare the impact on function and quality of life parameters between tapentadol PR and oxycodone/naloxone PR in subjects with severe chronic low back pain.
    ? To compare effectiveness in terms of reduction of pain intensity between tapentadol PR and oxycodone/naloxone PR during titration as well as throughout the entire treatment period in the trial.
    ? To investigate the impact of tapentadol PR versus oxycodone/naloxone PR on serum levels of sexual hormones (e.g., luteinizing hormone [LH], follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH], and total testosterone) during the trial.
    ? Evaluar y comparar los perfiles de tolerabilidad de tapentadol LP en comparación con oxicodona/naloxona LP durante el período de ajuste de la dosis y durante el ensayo centrándose en la tolerabilidad relacionada con el aparato digestivo y el sistema nervioso central.
    ? Evaluar el efecto de tapentadol LP y de oxicodona/naloxona LP sobre los síntomas asociados a dolor neuropático.
    ? Comparar el efecto sobre parámetros de función y calidad de vida entre tapentadol LP y oxicodona/naloxona LP en sujetos con lumbalgia crónica intensa.
    ? Comparar la eficacia en términos de reducción de la intensidad del dolor entre tapentadol LP y oxicodona/naloxona LP durante el período de ajuste de la dosis, así como durante el período de tratamiento completo en el ensayo.
    ? Evaluar el efecto de tapentadol LP en comparación con oxicodona/naloxona LP sobre concentraciones séricas de hormonas sexuales (p. ej. lutropina [LH], folitropina [FSH] y testosterona total) durante el ensayo.
