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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 evaluate the effectiveness of adding Epanova to statin therapy (with or without ezetimibe) for lowering MACE (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, emergent/elective coronary revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina) in patients with persistent hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C)
    L'obiettivo primario è valutare l'efficacia dell'aggiunta di Epanova alla terapia statinica (con o senza ezetimibe) per la riduzione dei MACE (morte cardiovascolare, infarto miocardico non fatale, ictus non fatale, rivascolarizzazione coronarica emergente/elettiva o ricovero per angina instabile) in pazienti con ipertrigliceridemia persistente e bassi livelli di colesterolo HDL (HDL-C).

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary outcome measure is the time to first occurrence of any component of the composite of MACE. Patients will remain in the study until the required number of patients with MACE has occurred. We anticipate that patients will be in the study for 3-5 years. Patients who discontinue investigational product (IP) will continue to be assessed as specified per the protocol.
    La misura primaria del risultato è il tempo alla prima manifestazione di uno qualsiasi dei MACE. I/le pazienti rimarranno nello studio finché non si sarà verificato il numero richiesto di pazienti con MACE. Si prevede che i pazienti rimangano nello studio per 3-5 anni. I/le pazienti che interrompono il prodotto sperimentale (Investigational Product, IP) continueranno ad essere valutati/e come specificato nel protocollo.
