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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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
    To assess whether decolonization treatment with oral non-absorbable drugs is superior to watch & wait in eradicating 3GCREB from the intestinal tract and prevent infection
    Protection of trial subjects
    The underlying principles for the independent Data Safety Monitoring Committee are ethical and safety aspects for the patients. The DSMC examines, whether the conduct of the trial is still ethically justifiable, whether security of the patients is ensured, and whether the process of the trial is acceptable. The DSMC will be informed about the adherence to the protocol, the patient recruitment, and the observed serious adverse events. This clinical trial was designed, shall be implemented and reported in accordance with the ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, with applicable local regulations (including European Directive 2001/20/EC and with the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Oct 2015
    The background of the first amendment was the discussion which has arisen after completion of the study protocol, which sample is the optimal starting material for the detection of multidrugresistant bacteria. Therefore, both materials, rectal swab and stool sample, were included as study material. In the former versions of the protocol, only rectal swab is mentioned.
    02 Feb 2016
    The background of the second amendment was to simplify the inclusion and exclusion criteria in order to enhance the recruitment. Therefore inclusion criteria number 3 was edited as follows: a second infection WITHOUT microbiological documentation can be accepted if it can be considered as relapsing infection with the same clinical focus based on clinical judgement and there has been no other relevant pathogen for this episode and the episode required antibiotic treatment considered adequate and clinically effective).

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The study has been early terminated by the Sponsor. The main reason for premature study termination was the lower than expected patient recruitment.
