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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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.

    Medical history
    1. Primary progressive, secondary progressive, or progressive relapsing MS (as defined by [Lublin and Reingold 1996]). These conditions require the presence of continuous clinical disease worsening over a period of at least 3 months. Subjects with these conditions may also have superimposed relapses but are distinguished from relapsing remitting subjects by the lack of clinically stable periods or clinical improvement.
    2. Disorders mimicking MS, such as other demyelinating disorders (e.g., acute disseminated encephalomyelitis), systemic autoimmune disorders (e.g., Sjögren disease, lupus erythematosus), metabolic disorders (e.g., dystrophies), and infectious disorders.

    4. History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions, or known drug hypersensitivity.
    5. History of abnormal laboratory results indicative of any significant endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, renal, and/or any other major disease that would preclude participation in a clinical study.
    6. History of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, GI, dermatologic, growth, developmental, psychiatric (including depression), neurologic (other than MS), and/or other major disease that would preclude participation in a clinical study.
    7. History of human immunodeficiency virus.
    8. History of drug or alcohol abuse (as defined by the Investigator) within the 2 years prior to Day 1.
    9. An MS relapse that has occurred within 50 days prior to Day 1 AND/OR the subject has not stabilized from a previous relapse prior to Day 1.
    10. History or positive test result at Screening for hepatitis C virus antibody or hepatitis B virus (defined as positive for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb]). Subjects with immunity to hepatitis B from either active vaccination (defined as negative HBsAg, positive hepatitis B surface antibody [HBsAb] and negative HBcAb) or from previous natural infection (defined as negative HBsAg, positive HBsAb IgG, and positive HBcAb) are eligible to participate in the study (definitions are based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]’s interpretation of the hepatitis B serology panel [CDC 2007]; Appendix 4, Section 25]).
    11. Any of the following abnormal blood test results at Screening:
    - ALT, AST, or gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) ≥2 × ULN

    - proteinuria (1+ or greater)
    - hematuria, without known etiology
    - glycosuria, without known etiology
    Note: If a subject has a positive test at Screening and the etiology is known (e.g., due to menses or urinary tract infection in the case of hematuria or due to recent steroid use or elevated serum glucose in the case of glycosuria), a repeat test is not required.
    Treatment history
    13. Any previous treatment with Fumaderm® or BG00012.
    14. Prior treatment with any of the following:
    - total lymphoid irradiation
