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   43861   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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A Phase 2B, randomized, blinded, dose-ranging, active-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study to evaluate the dose response relationship of GSK1278863 over the first 4 weeks of treatment and evaluate the safety and efficacy of GSK1278863 over 24 weeks in hemodialysis-dependent subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease who switch from recombinant human erythropoietin.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Eligible participants (par.) were hemodialysis-dependent with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease who were switched from a stable dose of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Study consisted of Screening Phase of at least 4 weeks (wk), 24-wk Treatment Phase and Follow-up visit approximately 4 wk after completion of treatment. A total of 216 par. with a stable hemoglobin (Hgb) between 9.0-11.5 grams (g)/deciliter (dL) (France sites only: 10.0-11.5 g/dL) were randomized and 210 par. entered into the 24-wk Treatment Phase.

    Primary: Change from Baseline in hemoglobin (Hgb) at Week 4

    End point title
    Change from Baseline in hemoglobin (Hgb) at Week 4
    End point description
    Baseline Hgb value was the average of three Hgb values taken during the screening period at Week (W) -4, W-2 and Day 1. Change from Baseline in Hgb was calculated as W4 value minus the Baseline value. To model the dose-response relationship a four-parameter Emax model was used. The dose response dataset was based on all non-missing data collected up to W4. Participants (par.) who had a Week 2 Hgb measurement, but a missing W4 Hgb measurement were included with a change from Baseline at Week 4 value imputed as twice the change from Baseline at Week 2. E0 is the expected Hgb change from Baseline for a par. receiving placebo and experiencing the average Hgb Baseline observed in the study. Emax is the expected Hgb change from Baseline for a par. receiving the highest dose above which no further increase in response can be achieved. ED50 is the dose that attains the intermediate response. Gamma is the slope parameter. Alpha is the coefficient of the model covariate for centred Baseline.

    Percentage of time within, below, and above Hgb target range between Weeks 20 and 24
    End point description
    The percentage of time in Hgb target range between Weeks 20 and 24 for a participant was calculated by dividing the total number of days that Hgb was within the target range (10.0 to 11.5 g/dL) while on treatment during Weeks 20 to 24 (using linear interpolation) by the total number of days the participant remained on treatment during the defined period. Similarly, percentage of time above Hgb target range and percentage of time below Hgb target range were calculated.
