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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective was to characterise the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of ceftobiprole in neonates and infants aged ≤ 3 months.
    Protection of trial subjects
    As eligible subjects were already receiving standard-of-care intravenous antibiotic treatment, the administration of ceftobiprole did not impose substantial additional discomfort or risk. Laboratory tests required for screening, but which had been performed within the 48 hours prior to ceftobiprole dosing, were not to be repeated, regardless of whether they had been performed before or after signing of the ICF.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Recruitment started on 22-Nov-2016 and ended on 18-Feb-2020. 45 neonate or infant subjects, stratified for gestational and postnatal age, were planned to be enrolled in three sequential cohorts. After agreement with the EMA Paediatric Committee, the study was terminated after enrolment of the full-term cohort. No pre-term subjects were enrolled.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects with documented or presumed bacterial infection receiving standard-of-care antibiotic treatment were screened.

    Dosage and administration details
    Ceftobiprole medocaril was administered as a single intravenous infusion, with a bodyweight-adjusted volume, at a constant rate over 4 hours. The ceftobiprole dose was 7.5 mg/kg, which corresponds to 10.0 mg ceftobiprole medocaril.
