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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy endpoint of the study is the proportion of patients achieving ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24 as measured by MRI or CT. A patient must have a baseline spleen volume to be included in the analysis. The treatment difference in the proportion will be tested by the Fisher exact test. Patients with a missing Week 24 spleen volume and those who drop out of the study or cross over to treatment with pacritinib prior to Week 24 will be considered to have not achieved the ≥ 35% reduction.
    L’endpoint primario di efficacia dello studio riguarda la percentuale di pazienti che raggiunge una riduzione ≥35% del volume splenico dal valore basale alla settimana 24 riscontrabile mediante RMI o TC. Per l’inclusione nell’analisi, si deve possedere una registrazione al basale del volume splenico del paziente. La differenza in percentuale del trattamento sarà valutata mediante Test esatto di Fisher. Per i pazienti dei quali manca il volume splenico alla settimana 24 e per coloro che si ritirano dallo studio, oppure che passano al trattamento con pacritinib prima della settimana 24, si riterrà che essi non abbiano ottenuto la riduzione ≥35%.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    MRI or CT assessments at: Screening, Wk 12, Wk 24 and termination visit.
    Valutazione con MRI o TAC a: Screening, Settimana 12, Settimana 24 Visita fine studio.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The secondary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients with ≥ 50% reduction in TSS from baseline to Week 24 as measured by the MPN-SAF TSS. The analysis method will be similar to that used for the primary efficacy endpoint.
    L’endpoint secondario di efficacia è rappresentato dalla percentuale di pazienti con riduzione ≥50% del TSS dal basale alla settimana 24 misurata con MPN-SAF TSS. La metodica dell’analisi sarà simile a quella impiegata per l’endpoint primario di efficacia.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The MPN-SAF TSS is completed by patients daily from screening until the termination visit.
    Il questionario MPN-SAF TSS sarà completato dal paziente su base giornaliera fino alla visita di fine studio.

    F.5 Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)
    Most patients will receive normal standard of care. However, for those subjects still receiving clinical benefit from pacritinib at the end of the trial and where it is not yet commercially available, the Sponsor will continue to provide access to pacritinib within the limits set by regulatory authorities (method of provision to be determined).
    I pazienti riceveranno le normali cure disponibili. Tuttavia, per quei pazienti che mostreranno ancora un beneficio clinico dal trattamento con pacritinib alla fine dello studio, e qualora il pacritinib non fosse ancora disponibile sul mercato, lo Sponsor si impegna a fornire ancora il farmaco a questi pazienti nelle modalità previste dalle disposizioni di legge.
