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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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 primary objective is to assess whether treatment with raltegravir in patients with active MS has the effect of reducing the total number or rate of development of new or recurrent Gd-enhanced lesions on brain MRI over the period of treatment, compared to baseline.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1. Demonstrate a reduction in the cumulative number of new or enlarging T2 weighted lesions on brain MRI over the period of treatment with Raltegravir compared with baseline.
    2. Assess other MRI parameters of disease activity e.g. cumulative number of T2 lesions, cumulative number of Gd-T1 enhancing lesions, and percent of subjects with scans free from enhancing lesions in Raltegravir treated subjects vs. baseline.
    3. Determine the effect of raltegravir therapy on specific inflammatory markers of MS activity.
    4. Determine the effect of raltegravir on specific indicators of endogenous retroviral activity and activity of herpes viruses.
    5. Explore preliminary clinical responses in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis subjects treated with Raltegravir, compared with baseline as measured by:
    a) Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC)
    b) Kurtzke Extended Disability Status Scale (EDSS)
    c) Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory (MSQLI)
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    • Female patients of childbearing potential will be expected to be on appropriate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) from time of consent until 6 weeks after treatment discontinuation. (the repeated administration of gadolinium and MRI are not recommended during pregnancy). NOTE: Subjects are considered not of child bearing potential if they are surgically sterile (they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are postmenopausal.

    • No pulsed intravenous or oral steroids in the 30 days preceding the baseline assessment.
    • Patients presenting with medical disorder deemed severe or unstable by the CI such as poorly controlled diabetes or arterial hypertension, severe cardiac insufficiency, unstable ischemic heart disease, abnormal liver function tests (>2.5 times ULN) and abnormal complete blood count (in particular leukopenia, as defined by a lymphocyte count <500, neutrophil <1.5 or platelet count < 100, or thrombocytopenia < 1.5 LLN), or any medical condition which, in the opinion of the chief investigator, would pose additional risk to the patient.
    • Presence of human immunodeficiency virus antibodies.
    • Patients receiving proton pump inhibitors (e.g. omeprazole/esomeprazole)
    • Patients with active hepatitis B or/and C with liver function tests >2.5 times ULN
