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   43861   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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OBD) involves not only constipation, but also a constellation of symptoms including incomplete evacuation, bloating, abdominal distension, and increased gastric reflux.
    Constipation is an almost inevitable consequence of opioid use in malignant and non-malignant disease states, and one of the side effects of opioids to which few patients develop tolerance.
    La disfunción intestinal inducida por opioides (DIO) implica no sólo el estreñimiento, sino tambíén una constelación de síntomas que incluyen evacuación incompleta, sensación de plenitud gástrica, distensión abdominal, y aumento del reflujo gástrico. El estreñimiento es una consecuencia casi inevitable del uso de opioides en estados de enfermedad malignos y no malignos, y uno de los efectos adversos de los opioides a los que pocos pacientes desarrollan tolerancia
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Constipation, defined as "the evacuation of hard stools less frequently than is normal for the individual", is an almost inevitable side effect of opioid use.
    El estreñimiento se define como "la evacuación de heces duras con menor frecuencia de lo que es normal para el individuo" es una consecuencia casi inevitable del uso de opioides

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate that administration of Naloxone HCl PR (prolonged-release) tablets once daily is superior to Naloxone HCl PR Placebo in the improvement / reversal of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) as determined by the Bowel Function Index (BFI).
    El objetivo principal de este ensayo es demostrar que la administración de Naloxone HCl PR (liberación prolongada) comprimidos una vez al día es superior a Naloxone HCl PR placebo en la mejora / reversión del estreñimiento inducido por opioides (EIO) tal como se determina por el índice de función intestinal (IFI)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of Naloxone HCl PR
    tablets administered once daily in the treatment of OIC in terms of
    decreased BFI and increased frequency in bowel movements, improvement of stool consistency and symptoms of defecation, global improvement of OIC and on changes of constipation-related quality of life as well as in terms of reduction of the number of days with laxative rescue medication.
    The safety of starting dose is to be reaffirmed and dose regimen is to be determined. In addition, safety and tolerabiliy, the effect of abrupt versus tapered cessation, the non-inferiority regarding induced pain relief, the lack of systemic effects in terms of opioid withdrawal symptoms, the rate of treatment failures and effects on non-responders to standard laxatives of Naloxone HCl PR tablets administered once daily are to be assessed.
    Los objetivos secundarios de este ensayo son evaluar la eficacia de Naloxone HCl PR comprimidos administrados una vez al día en el tratamiento de EIO en términos de disminución del IFI, aumento de la frecuencia de las evacuaciones intestinales, mejora de la consistencia de las heces y los síntomas de defecación, mejora global del EIO y sobre los cambios del estreñimiento relacionados con la calidad de vida y reducción del número de días con laxante de rescate. Reafirmar la seguridad de la dosis inicial y determinar el régimen de dosificación. Además se evaluará la seguridad y la tolerabilidad, el efecto de la interrupción brusca versus la interrupción gradual, la no inferioridad relativa al alivio del dolor, la falta de efectos sistémicos en cuanto a los síntomas de abstinencia, la tasa de fracasos del tratamiento y el efecto sobre los sujetos que no responden a los laxantes estándar
