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   43857   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The aim of the study is to confirm efficacy and safety of treatment with
    600 mg of BID BI 207127 in combination with 120 mg QD Faldaprevir
    (FDV) and ribavirin (RBV) for 16 or 24 weeks in "target" chronically
    infected HCV genotype 1 (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.
    The primary objective 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 600mg BID in combinazione con Faldaprevir (BI 2013335) 120mg 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 pazienti con cirrosi compensata.
    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
    The secondary objective is to determine if a minimum historical target
    Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) rate at 12 weeks of 71% for
    peginterferon (PegIFN) eligible patients and 50% for PegIFN-ineligible
    patients can be achieved by the combination treatments of BI 207127,
    FDV and RBV in target GT1 patients, 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% e 50%, rispettivamente in pazienti adatti e non adatti ad assumere Interferone Peghilato (PegIFN), puo' essere ottenuta dalla triplice terapia di combinazione con BI 207127, Faldaprevir e Ribavirina nella popolazione selezionata per questo studio.

    months after the last dose of RBV. Patients must agree not to breastfeed
    at any time from the date of screening until 7 months after the last
    dose of RBV. Accepted methods of contraception in the study include
    diaphragm with spermicidal substance, cervical caps, intrauterine
