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   44336   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Aim of the trial is to confirm efficacy and safety of treatment with 600 mg of BID BI 207127 in combination with 120 mg QD Faldaprevir (previously called BI 201335) and RBV for 16 and 24 weeks in target chronically infected HCV GT1 treatment naïve patients, including patients with compensated cirrhosis. This ''target'' population excludes GT1a infected patients with the host IL28B rs12979860 CT or TT (non-CC) genotypes. Primary objective of the trial is to determine if there is a clinically meaningful difference between 16- and 24-week treatment durations.
    Lo scopo dello studio e' confermare l'efficacia e la sicurezza di un trattamento con BI 201227 600 mg BID in combinazione con Faldaprevir (BI 201335) 120 mg QD e Ribavirina per 16 e 24 settimane, in pazienti naive affetti da epatite C cronica genotipo 1 (1b oppure 1a, 1a/b, 1 con sottotipo non definito e IL28B CC), incluso un gruppo separato di pazienti con cirrosi compensata trattati per 24 settimane in aperto. L'obiettivo primario e' determinare se c'e' una differenza clinicamente significativa tra le 16 e le 24 settimane di trattamento.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To determine if a minimum historical target SVR12 rate of 71% can be achieved by the combination treatments of BI 207127, Faldaprevir and RBV, including patients with compensated cirrhosis.
    L'obiettivo secondario e' determinare se il minimo storico del tasso di risposta virologica sostenuta a 12 settimane di 71% puo' essere ottenuto dalla triplice terapia di combinazione con BI 207127, Faldaprevir e Ribavirina nella popolazione selezionata per questo studio.

Note: patients with a liver biopsy performed 3 or more years or fibroscan performed 6 months or more prior to randomisation demonstrating cirrhosis do not need to repeat a liver biopsy or fibroscan. Patients with a liver biopsy performed 3 or more years (or fibroscan performed 6 months or more) prior to randomisation, negative for the presence of cirrhosis need to repeat the liver biopsy or fibroscan, with the result available before randomisation visit. 6. Age 18 – 75 years (inclusive) 7. Female patients a. with documented hysterectomy, or b. who have had both ovaries removed, or c. with documented tubal ligation, or d. who are post-menopausal with last menstrual period at least 12 months prior to screening, or e. of childbearing potential with a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and on Day 1 (Visit 2), that agree to use two non-hormonal methods of birth control from the date of screening until 7 months after the last dose of ribavirin. They must not breast-feed at any time from the date of screening until 7 months after the last dose of ribavirin. Accepted methods of contraception for females in this trial are diaphragm with spermicide substances, intrauterine devices, cervical caps and condoms. Note: Systemic hormonal contraceptives may not be as effective in women taking BI 207127/FDV combination therapy and are not accepted methods of contraception in the study. OR: Male patients a. who are documented to be sterile, or b. who consistently and correctly use a condom while their female partners (if of child-bearing potential) agree to use one of the appropriate medically accepted methods of birth control from the date of screening until 7 months after the last dose of ribavirin, and c. without pregnant female partners. It is in the responsibility of the male patient to ensure that his partner (or partners) is not pregnant prior to enrolment into the study or becomes pregnant during the treatment and follow-up phase. Female partners of childbearing potential must perform monthly pregnancy tests from the date of screening until 7 months after the last dose of ribavirin (tests will be provided by the sponsor). 8. Signed informed consent form prior to trial participation.

Eta' compresa tra i 18 e i 75 anni (inclusi);7. Pazienti di sesso femminile: a) con isterectomia documentata, oppure b) con rimozione di entrambe le ovaie, oppure c) con legatura delle tube documentata, oppure d) in post-menopausa (ultima mestruazione 12 mesi prima dello screening), oppure e) in eta' fertile con un test di gravidanza su siero negativo allo screening e al giorno 1 (visita 2) che, se sessualmente attive, acconsentono ad utilizzare un metodo contraccettivo clinicamente accettato (diaframma con spermicida, spirale intrauterina, cappuccio cervicale e preservativo) dallo screening fino ad almeno 7 mesi dopo l'ultima dose di Ribavirina, oltre all'uso sistematico e corretto del preservativo da parte del partner. La paziente inoltre acconsente a non allattare dallo screening fino a 7 mesi dopo l'ultima dose di Ribavirina. I contraccettivi ormonali sistemici potrebbero non essere efficaci se assunti con la combinazione BI 207127 e Faldaprevir, non sono quindi considerati come metodo di contraccezione accettato durante la partecipazione alla sperimentazione; Pazienti di sesso maschile che: a) sono sterili (sterilita' documentata), b) non hanno una partner incinta e usano sistematicamente e in modo corretto il preservativo, mentre le loro partner femminili, se in eta' fertile, usano un metodo di contraccezione clinicamente accettabile dallo screening fino ad almeno 7 mesi dopo l'ultima dose di Ribavirina. E' responsabilita' del paziente assicurarsi che la partner non sia incinta prima della visita di screening e che non subentri una gravidanza durante lo studio e nel periodo di osservazione successivo. Le partner in eta' fertile dovranno sottoporsi a un test di gravidanza mensile dalla visita di screening fino a 7 mesi dopo l'ultima dose di Ribavirina (i test saranno forniti dallo sponsor dello studio); 8.
