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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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
    Safety and tolerability assessment will be made by monitoring the subjects for adverse events and by interpreting the results of the ECGs, various laboratory tests (changes in ALT/AST) and the subjects’ diaries.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The following safety assessments were done to protect trial subjects: - Cardiovascular monitoring 12-lead ECG, continuous ECG monitoring 20–24 hours prior to the first dose administration and on Days 7, 14, 21 and 26 (+1) for 23–25 hours, measurement of blood pressure and pulse rate - Laboratory monitoring Hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, serology, urinanalysis

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Recruitment of patients was done at the Department for Gastroenterology and Hepatology, General Hospital of Vienna, from 25.10.2013 (first patient in) until 12.11.2014 (last patient in). Adult patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were screened for eligibility after giving their written informed consent to the clinifal trial.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 21 patients were screened for eligibility. 6 patients were considered as screening failures (according to inclusion/exclusion criteria). 7 patients were considered as drop outs during the conduct of the study. 3 of the 7 drop outs occured before receiving study drug. All in all 12 patients received study drug.

    Pre-assignment period milestones
    Number of subjects started
    		 21 [1]
    Number of subjects completed
    		 12

    Pre-assignment subject non-completion reasons
    Reason: Number of subjects
    		 In-/Exclusion criteria not fulfilled/fulfilled: 6
    Reason: Number of subjects
    		 Organizational reasons: 3
    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: According to the clinical study protocol, 12 patients in 1 group were planned. Study participants who voluntarily withdraw consent (due to any other reason than an AE) or study drop-outs were replaced. Therefore 21 patients were screened but only 12 patients were enrolled in the study (= received study medication).
