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   44363   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7387   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.

    Change from baseline to Week 24 in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) total score. The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) is a 11-item neuropsychological test that assess the severity of cognitive impairment. The items determine the patient's orientation, memory, language, and praxis. Total score of the 11 items range from 0 to 70 (lower score indicates lower cognitive impairment).

    End point description
    Change from baseline to Week 24 in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) total score. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory is a 12-item structured interview with a caregiver to assess behavioural disturbances. The NPI comprises 10 behavioural and 2 neurovegetative items. Each item consists of a screening question and several sub-questions that are rated no (not present) or yes (present). Each item is then rated for frequency (a 4-point scale from 1 [occasionally] to 4 [very frequent]), severity (a 3-point scale from 1 [mild] to 3 [marked]), and caregiver distress (a 5-point scale from 0 [not at all] to 5 [very severely or extremely]). Total score of the frequency ratings multiplied by the severity ratings ranges from 0 to 144 and the total score of the caregiver distress ratings ranges from 0 to 60.

    Change in single NPI item scores at Week 24. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory is a 12-item structured interview with a caregiver to assess behavioural disturbances. The NPI comprises 10 behavioural and 2 neurovegetative items. Each item consists of a screening question and several sub-questions that are rated no (not present) or yes (present). Each item is then rated for frequency (a 4-point scale from 1 [occasionally] to 4 [very frequent]), severity (a 3-point scale from 1 [mild] to 3 [marked]), and caregiver distress (a 5-point scale from 0 [not at all] to 5 [very severely or extremely]). Total score of the frequency ratings multiplied by the severity ratings ranges from 0 to 144 and the total score of the caregiver distress ratings ranges from 0 to 60.

    Change from baseline to Week 24 in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is an 11-item test to assess the cognitive aspects of mental function. The subtests assess orientation, memory, attention, language, and visual construction. The scores for each item is dichotomous (1 = response is correct, 0 = response is incorrect). Total score of the 11 items ranges from 0 to 30 (higher score indicates lower deficit).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 Jun 2013
    PA01 Before study start The Drop-out Retrieval Visit was added. Analysis of primary and key secondary endpoints: exploratory MMRM analysis pooling the 30 and 60mg doses and testing the effect versus placebo was added. Sensitivity analyses of the primary and key secondary endpoints: MMRM analyses of efficacy data collected at the Withdrawal Follow-up Visit and the Drop-out Retrieval Visit for withdrawn patients were added. A secondary endpoint addressing the secondary objective was added: change from baseline to Week 24 in NPI Anxiety score in patients with an NPI Anxiety score ≥2 at baseline. Analysis of secondary endpoints: changes from baseline in NPI Anxiety score at Weeks 4, 12, and 24 in patients with a score ≥2 at baseline analysed using the same methodology as that described for the primary endpoint were added. The ADAS-cog component of the clinical response definition at Week 24 was redefined from ADAS-cog change <-4 to ADAS-cog change ≤-4 (this change was repeated in PA02). Unblinding procedure: the investigator could break the code immediately if he/she judged it necessary to ensure the safety of the patient, without prior contact to the CRA, was added.
    19 Feb 2014
    PA02 After study start The Dependence Scale was added. Exclusion criterion 17: that patients with pacemakers were eligible provided they followed a routine check-up with their doctor and were considered stable was clarified. Exclusion criterion 28: the exclusion criteria for heart rate and the duration of the PR interval were revised. The possibility of re-screening patients who failed screening due to certain treatable medical conditions but who were otherwise eligible was added. Concomitant medication use was clarified.
