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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    Participants who attained mUFC ≤ 1.0 x ULN (upper limit of normal) with pasireotide alone or in combination with cabergoline. The 24h-UFC concentration results from three samples, collected during the screening period, were averaged to obtain the Baseline urinary free cortisol level. mean 24h-UFC was determined from two 24-hour urine collections collected on two consecutive days that occurred before the visit. Imputation: subjects who completed the end of treatment visit at Week 35, but had missing evaluation of mean urinary free cortisol (mUFC). The last available mUFC assessment at or after previous visit (week) before last week was carried forward as the last week mUFC assessment.

    Mean scores for Cushing QoL standardized score at week 17 and 35
    End point description
    Patients who completed nine or more items for the 12-item Cushing’s syndrome QoL questionaire were considered evaluable for that assessment. Raw scores were obtained for the 12 items using the following scoring: 1) always or very much, 2) often or quite a bit, 3) sometimes or somewhat, 4) rarely or very little, 5) never or not at all. Then the standardized score, Y, was calculated for each patient as follows: Y = 100* (X – n) / n*5 – n*1) = 100 * (X – n) / 4*n where X denoted the raw score and n the number of questions answered by the patient. The higher the score, the better the QoL. The best possible standardized score was 100 and the worst possible standardized score was 0

    Mean scores of SF-12v2 domain scores at week 17 and 35
    End point description
    SF-12v2 General Health Survey is a general patient reported outcome instrument over time. It is scored to provide eight health domain scores (Bodily Pain (BP), General Health (GH), Physical Functioning (PF), Role-Physical (RP), Social Functioning (SF), Role-Emotional (RE), Vitality (VT) and Mental Health (MH)). These eight domain scores can be combined to form two summary scores reflecting overall physical and mental health: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). The analyses reported here focus on PCS and MCS scores. The domain scores use a norm-based score, which standardizes the scores with respect to the mean and standard deviation of a nationally representative sample of United States (US) adults. These are the scores on the original scale which have not been transformed in any way. The possible range of scores is 0 to 100, with higher scores representing better outcomes.

    End point description
    Clinical symptoms include: facial rubor, hirsutism, striae, and supraclavicular and dorsal fat pad. Two photographs, one frontal and one lateral from the shoulders up were taken to assess facial plethora, supraclavicular and dorsal fat pads.

    Number of patients with shift from standing easily to not being able to stand
    End point description
    To test proximal muscle strength patients should be placed in a low seated position (for instance on an examination room stool). They should be asked to extend the arms in front of them. From this seated position patients will be asked to stand up. Patients will be evaluated using the following scale: 3. – completely unable to stand 2. – able to stand only by using arms as assistance 1. – able to stand after several efforts without using arms as assistance 0. – able to stand easily with arms extended

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 Mar 2014

    24 Jul 2015
    ●To combine group 1 (pasireotide naïve subjects) and group 2 (subjects currently treated with maximal tolerated doses of pasireotide monotherapy) into a single cohort of subjects; ● To reduce the target number of enrolled subjects (reduced from 128 to 64); ● The duration of screening period was increased from 21 days to 28 days; ● To change the lowest dose of pasireotide allowed for the trial (previous dose 0.3 mg bid; new dose: 0.3 mg QD). ● The PK analysis was not performed as a result of combining group 1 and group 2 into one single group.
    25 Jul 2016
    At the time of this protocol amendment, pasireotide was not yet approved for commercial use and/or reimbursed in several participating countries. In order to continue to provide access to treatment for subjects in these countries and to collect longer-term safety and efficacy data, the maximum duration of the extension phase of the study was extended by two further years. The new enddate for the extension phase is 31-Dec-2017; Addition of one section “Adverse events of special interest”
