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.

    4. To analyze whether vitamin D can prevent the appearance of new T2 hyperintense lesions on brain MRI scans.
    5. To study the safety and tolerability of vitamin D as adjuvant treatment, evaluating the presence of adverse events en this population.
    1. Estudiar el efecto del tratamiento con vitamina D sobre la tasa de brotes.
    2. Valorar si la vitamina D3 modifica progresión de la discapacidad medida por el EDSS.
    3. Analizar si la administración de vitamina D3 reduce el número de lesiones captantes de gadolinio en la RMN craneal.
    4. Estudiar si el tratamiento con vitamina D3 previene la aparición de lesiones nuevas hiperintensas en T2 en la resonancia craneal.
    5. Comprobar el grado de seguridad y tolerabilidad de la vitamina D3 como tratamiento adyuvante a los tratamientos de primera línea, evaluada por la presencia de efectos secundarios, en esta población de pacientes.

    Main outcome: proportion of patients experiencing at least one relapse during the study period.
    Proporción de pacientes que sufren al menos un brote durante el tiempo de estudio. Un brote se define como el desarrollo de síntomas nuevos o recurrentes que afectan al sistema nervioso central y duran al menos 24 horas, después de un período de al menos 30 días de estabilidad clínica, y que no ocurre en un contexto de fiebre o infección.

    - La tasa de brotes (número de brotes por unidad de tiempo)
    - EDSS. El EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale) se trata de una escala de valoración de la discapacidad del paciente. Se basa en la evaluación de sistemas funcionales (visual, piramidal, sensitivo, tronco-encéfalo, vejiga/intestino, mental, cerebelo y la capacidad de deambular) en conjunto y puntúa de 0 a 10, siendo 0 el paciente totalmente ambulante sin discapacidad y 10 el fallecimiento producido por EM (Anexo 2).
    - Número de lesiones captantes de gadolinio en la resonancia craneal
    - Número de lesiones nuevas hiperintensas en T2 en la resonancia craneal
    - Incidencia de efectos secundarios en pacientes tratados con vitamina D y placebo. Se registrarán los efectos secundarios más frecuentemente asociados con vitamina D (mareos, cefalea, vómitos, anorexia, diarrea, dolor abdominal, litiasis renal, más arriba sección de riesgos) y cualquier otra enfermedad intercurrente durante el estudio. Se considerarán efectos adversos graves los que requieran hospitalización, moderados los que requieran suspensión del tratamiento en estudio, y leves los que sean transitorios o no obliguen a suspender la medicación.
