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   43857   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To characterize the safety and tolerability of initiating LCZ696 in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients with 3-week and 6-week up-titration regimens over 12 weeks based on reported adverse events and laboratory assessments.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Adverse events are collected from First Patient First Visit (FPFV) until Last Patient Last Visit (LPLV). All adverse events reported in this record are from date of First Patient First Treatment until Last Patient Last Visit
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Consistent with EudraCT disclosure specifications, Novartis has reported under the Serious adverse events field “number of deaths resulting from adverse events” all those deaths, resulting from serious adverse events that are deemed to be causally related to treatment by the investigator.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    04 Jun 2014
    The main purpose of this amendment is to align study exclusion criteria 30 from study protocol CLCZ696B2228 with the exclusion criteria of the other study protocols from the LCZ696 clinical program and with the LCZ696 Investigators’ Brochure. The Novartis standard protocol template language requires contraception use during study medication dosing and until 5 times the terminal half-life of the study drug has elapsed following the final dose. At the end of this period, the concentration of the compound in the blood will be very low and the drug is considered eliminated. According to the current Novartis protocol template, the longest t1/2, for LBQ657, would require contraception to continue for 4 days after the last dose of study medication. Therefore, even if the mean half-life indicates that contraception for 4 days following the last dose of study medication is considered sufficient, the contraception period for women of child-bearing potential after being taken off study medication is changed to ensure consistency with other studies and documents from 4 days to 7 days. Additionally, due to changes in the timing of the study, there was no significant data for the LCZ696B2228 study to be specifically reviewed by the DMC at the March 28, 2014 DMC meeting. As a consequence the DMC review plan is adjusted to match with the current study progress.
