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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the dose response of the following parameters: •% change in non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) from baseline to Week 12 •% change in TG from baseline to Week 12 To assess the safety and tolerability of K-877 in patients with residual cardiovascular risk despite statin-controlled low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) concentration as particularly evaluated by: •Change and % change in serum creatinine from baseline to Week 12 •Change and % change in log(homocysteine) from baseline to Week 12
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. Each patient was assured of his/her right to withdraw from the study at any time. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Throughout the study, patients were not allowed to change the dose, dosing regimen (e.g. morning or evening dose), or the type of statin and encouraged to continue on the same diet and exercise regimen. In general, any other medication not excluded by the protocol was permitted.
    Background therapy
    Stable statin therapy (except for pravastatin, lovastatin, and fluvastatin)
