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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).

    Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F) [7]
    End point description
    Apparent oral clearance (CL/F) was calculated by dividing dose by the AUCtau, where tau was the dosing interval of 12 hours. Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

    The terminal half-life for breast milk (t1/2 [breast milk]) was the time measured for breast milk concentration to decrease by one-half. For the first 5 subjects enrolled under protocol amendment dated: 18 Sep 2012, breast milk was collected up to 24 hours after Day 3 dosing over the following time intervals: 0 to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 8, 8 to 12, 12 to 24 hours. Terminal half-life was determined over those points characterizing the elimination phase. For the remaining 5 subjects, there were 3 additional collection intervals (24 to 32, 32 to 40, 40 to 48 hours) for characterizing the terminal elimination phase. The t1/2 (breast milk) is based on the terminal elimination phase time points from this timeframe. The PK parameter analysis population included subjects who received study medication and had at least 1 of the PK parameters of primary interest.

    Date
    Amendment
    18 Sep 2012
    1. Added breast milk expression tests, Columbia Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and the Nursing Mother Questionnaire at both pre and post dosing. 2. Updated the urine analysis section which reflected the 12 hour intervals (0-2, 2-4, 4-8 and 8-12 hours post Day 3) on which urine samples were assayed. 3. Subject were observed for a minimum of 3 hours by the qualified Clinic personnel, in case they took doses at home.
    22 Feb 2013
    1. Adverse events and concomitant medications were monitored up to 48 hours post-dose Day 3 (on Day 4 and Day 5). 2. Post-amendment dated: 18 Sep 2012, breast milk was collected up to 48 hours after Day 3 dosing.
