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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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.

    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this study was in compliance with the Good Clinical Practice Guidelines and under the guiding principles detailed in the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was also be carried out in keeping with applicable local law(s) and regulation(s). Mutaflor® contains the bacterium E. coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN) as active ingredient and is approved under the German Drug Law (AMG). From its use over decades (approx. 90 years) and results of clinical studies, it is known that EcN is very well tolerated in doses of up to 1 x 5 ml/day as a suspension. Risks associated with additional blood sampling were local hematoma or, very rarely, malpuncture with injury to arteries or nerves. These risks were considered to be low, as the examinations were performed by trained and qualified personnel.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The clinical trial was conducted between September 2014 and December 2015, a total of 18 patients were screened at the Carus General Practitioner's Office at Dresden University Hospital. The study was conducted and completed according to protocol.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    In total 10 patients were included. The first 5 patients received 1 ml of EcN suspension daily for the entire 24-week treatment period. Based on the first interim results, the dose was increased for the next 5 patients included. They took 5 ml of EcN suspension 5 ml of EcN suspension over the entire treatment period.

    Notes
    [1] - Using these estimators, the study management was able to assess whether adjuvant therapy with E. coli Nissle resulted in an improvement of at least 0.1% or 0.2% in HbA1c at otherwise unchanged standard antidiabetic therapy. The expected decrease in HbA1c of at least 0.1 and 0.2 % was not achieved in both groups of patients.
