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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of metyrapone (MTP) to normalize cortisol levels (Urinary Free Cortisol – UFC) after 12 weeks of treatment in patients with endogenous Cushing’s syndrome (CS).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    A)To assess the effects of metyrapone after 12 weeks of treatment on:
    1)Salivary and serum cortisol levels
    2)Hormonal and biochemical parameters that are associated with Cushing’s syndrome or represent safety measurements
    3)Clinical signs of Cushing’s syndrome
    4)Quality of life as judged by Cushing’s Quality of Life (CushingQoL) questionnaire and Tuebingen Cushing's disease quality of life inventory
    5)Safety and tolerability
    B)To identify factors that predict the success rate defined as eucortisolemia achievement at 12 weeks. Parameters for identifying these factors will include age, gender, mean baseline UFC and cause of CS.
    C) To assess the effects of long-term MTP treatment on efficacy and safety parameters (up to 36 weeks of treatment)
