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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the effects of standard dose (20 mg) and higher than standard dose of bilastine (40 mg and 80 mg) on disease activity in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria.
    Protection of trial subjects
    A total number of 30 patients with moderate to severe chronic spontaneous urticaria, all of which had previously failed treatment with an antihistamine other than bilastine in standard (licensed) dose, were planned to be included into the study. Until the end of the trial, 31 patients were randomized and analyzed. The evaluation of efficacy and safety was carried out on the intention-to-treat population.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    During the first two weeks (14   2 days) of the study (screening phase) all patients were administered with one tablet bilastine 20 mg daily p.o. as rescue medication. This tablet should only be taken in case of intolerable CSU symptoms and the intake had to be documented in the patient diary.

    Arm title
    Bilastine 20/40/80 mg
    Arm description
    During the first two weeks of the following treatment phase all patients were asked to take one tablet bilastine 20 mg p.o. once daily. In case the patients did not achieve complete response, they changed to 40 mg bilastine p.o. (2 tablets containing bilastine 20 mg once daily) for the next two weeks, while those with complete response stayed on 20 mg bilastine p.o. once daily for the rest of the study. After another two weeks, response to treatment was again reviewed. Those patients who did not achieve complete response to 40 mg bilastine p.o. were further updosed to 80 mg bilastine p.o. (4 tablets containing bilastine 20 mg once daily), while those with complete response stayed on the 40 mg dose p.o. for the rest of the trial. The total duration of the treatment phase was 6 weeks.
