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   44266   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7347   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
    Primary objective:
    Evaluation of the effectiveness of subcutaneous administration of Teriparatide (FORSTEO) as hormone replacement therapy in patients with refractory hypoparathyroidism.



    Obiettivo Primario
    Valutazione dell'efficacia della somministrazione sottocutanea di Teriparatide come terapia ormonale sostitutiva in pazienti con ipoparatiroidismo refrattario, causato da interventi chirurgici (tiroide, paratiroide, chirurgia del collo o altro), cause autoimmunitarie, mutazioni attivanti il recettore sensibile al calcio, cause idiopatiche o anomalie di sviluppo delle ghiandole paratiroidee. Questo studio si propone di valutare l'efficacia clinica di Teriparatide in pazienti con ipoparatiroidismo refrattario in termini di 1) riduzione del dosaggio della supplementazione orale di Ca e vitamina D, 2) mantenimento di livelli stabili di Ca sierico, e 3) miglioramento dell'ipercalciuria.


    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary Objectives:
    1) Determination of a more effective treatment than those presently used for patients with refractory hypoparathyroidism.
    2) Creation of treatment guidelines for the use of Teriparatide in patients with refractory hypoparathyroidism.

    Obiettivi secondari
    1) Individuazione di un trattamento più efficace di quelli attualmente utilizzati per i pazienti con ipoparatiroidismo refrattario.
    2) Creazione di linee guida di trattamento per l'uso di teriparatide in pazienti con ipoparatiroidismo refrattario.
