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.

    (2) To evaluate the effect on fasting serum lipids of MK-1439 100 mg q.d. compared to darunavir/ritonavir (800 mg/100 mg) q.d., each in combination with TRUVADA? or EPZICOM?/KIVEXAv, as measured by mean change from baseline in fasting serum lipids at Week 48.
    (3) To evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-1439 100 mg q.d. compared to darunavir/ritonavir (800 mg/100 mg) q.d., each in combination with TRU VADA? or EPZICOM?/KIVEXA?, as measured by the time to discontinuation from study due to an adverse experience.
    (1) Evaluar la seguridad y tolerabilidad de 100 mg de MK-1439 1/día, en comparación con darunavir/ritonavir (800 mg/100 mg) 1/día, cada uno en combinación con TRUVADA? o EPZICOM?/KIVEXAv, evaluadas mediante la revisión de los datos de seguridad acumulados en la semana 48 y la semana 96.
    (2) evaluar el efecto sobre los lípidos séricos en ayunas de 100 mg de MK-1439 1/día en comparación con darunavir/ritonavir (800 mg/100 mg) 1/día, cada uno en combinación con TRUVADAv o EPZICOM?/KIVEXA?, medido por el cambio medio respecto al inicio en los lípidos séricos en ayunas en la semana 48.
    (3) evaluar la seguridad y tolerabilidad de 100 mg de MK-1439 1/día en comparación con darunavir/ritonavir (800 mg/100 mg) 1/día, cada uno en combinación con TRUVADA? o EPZICOM?/KIVEXA?, medidas por el tiempo hasta la interrupción del estudio debido a una experiencia adversa.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Future Biomedical Research
    Investigación biomédica futura
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. be at least 18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent.
    2. understand the study procedures and voluntarily agree to participate by giving written informed consent for the trial. The subject may also provide consent for Future Biomedical research. However, the subject may participate in the main trial without participating in Future Biomedical research.
    3. be HIV-1 positive as determined by a positive result on an enzyme-immuno assay, have screening plasma HIV-1 RNA (determined by the central laboratory) ?1000 copies/mL within 45 days prior to the treatment phase of this study, and have HIV treatment indicated based on physician assessment. Local treatment guidelines should be considered in the decision to initiate therapy.
    4. be naïve to antiretroviral therapy (ART) including investigational antiretroviral agents.
    Note: Naïve is defined as having received no (0 days of) ART therapy for the treatment of HIV infection.
    5. have the following laboratory values at screening within 45 days prior to the treatment phase of this study:
    - Alkaline phosphatase ?3.0 x upper limit of normal
    - AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ?5.0 x upper limit of normal
    Note: A single repeat of a laboratory screening test will be allowed for test results that are unexpected based on documented prior laboratory results.
    6. have a calculated creatinine clearance at time of screening ?50 mL/min, based on the Cockcroft-Gault equation which is as follows :
    Clcr (mL/min) = (140-age) x weight (in kg)/72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL) for males and
    Clcr (mL/min) = [(140-age) x weight (in kg)/72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)] x 0.85 for females
    7. in the opinion of the investigator, be considered clinically stable with no signs or symptoms of active infection, at the time of entry into the study (i.e., clinical status and all chronic medications should be unchanged for at least 2 weeks prior to the start of treatment in this study).
    8. be highly unlikely to become pregnant or to impregnate a partner since the subject meets at least one of the following categories:
    a) The subject is a male who is not of reproductive potential, defined as a male who has azoospermia (whether due to having had a vasectomy or due to an underlying medical condition).
    b) The subject is a female who is not of reproductive potential, defined as a female who either: (1) is postmenopausal (defined as at least 12 months with no menses in women ?45 years of age); (2) has had a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion at least 6 weeks prior to screening; OR (3) has a congenital or acquired condition that prevents childbearing.
    c) The subject is a female or a male who is of reproductive potential and agrees to avoid becoming pregnant or impregnating a partner while receiving study drug and for 14 days after the last dose of study drug by complying with one of the following: (1) practice abstinence from heterosexual activity OR (2) use (or have their partner use) acceptable contraception during heterosexual activity.
    Acceptable methods of contraception are:

    Single method (one of the following is acceptable):
    ? intrauterine device (IUD)
    ? vasectomy of a female subject?s male partner
    ? contraceptive rod implanted into the skin

    Combination method (requires use of two of the following):
    ? diaphragm with spermicide (cannot be used in conjunction with cervical cap/spermicide)
    ? cervical cap with spermicide (nulliparous women only)
    ? contraceptive sponge (nulliparous women only)
    ? male condom or female condom (cannot be used together)
    ? hormonal contraceptive: oral contraceptive pill (estrogen/progestin pill or progestin-only pill), contraceptive skin patch, vaginal contraceptive ring, or
    subcutaneous contraceptive injection
    Abstinence (relative to heterosexual activity) can be used as the sole method of contraception if it is consistently employed as the subject?s preferred and usua l lifestyle and if considered acceptable by local regulatory agencies and ERCs/IRBs. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, sympto-thermal, post-ovulation methods, etc.) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
    If a contraceptive method listed above is restricted by local regulations/guidelines, then it does not qualify as an acceptable method of contraception for subjects participating at sites in this country/region.
    1. Tener al menos 18 años de edad el día de la firma del consentimiento informado.
    2. Comprender los procedimientos del estudio y aceptar participar voluntariamente dando su consentimiento informado por escrito para el ensayo. El sujeto puede dar también su consentimiento para la investigación biomédica futura. Sin embargo, el sujeto puede participar en el ensayo principal sin participar en la investigación biomédica futura.
    3. Ser positivo para el VIH según determinado por un resultado positivo en el inmunoensayo enzimático y presentar en la selección ARN del VIH en plasma (determinado por el laboratorio central) ? 1000 copias/ml en los 45 días anteriores a la fase de tratamiento de este estudio, y tener un tratamiento para el VIH indicado basado en la valoración del médico. En la decisión de iniciar el tratamiento, se deberán tener en cuenta las directrices locales de tratamiento.
    4. No haber recibido anteriormente ningún tratamiento antirretroviral (TAR), incluidos los agentes antirretrovirales en investigación.
    5. Tener los siguientes valores analíticos en la selección en los 45 días anteriores a la fase de tratamiento del estudio:
    - Fosfatasa alcalina ?3,0 veces el límite superior de la normalidad.
    - AST (transaminasa glutámico-oxalacética sérica [serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, SGOT]) y ALT (transaminasa glutámico-pirúvica sérica [serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, SGPT) ?5,0 veces el límite superior de la normalidad.
    6. Tener un aclaramiento de creatinina calculado en el momento de la selección ?50 ml/min, basándose en la ecuación Cockcroft-Gault que es la siguiente:
    Acr (ml/min) = (140 - edad) x peso (en kg)/72 x creatinina sérica (mg/dl) en el caso de los hombres y
    Acr (ml/min) = [(140 - edad) x peso (en kg))/72 x creatinina sérica (mg/dl)] x 0,85 en el caso de las mujeres
    7. En opinión del investigador, el sujeto se considera clínicamente estable, sin signos ni síntomas de infección activa, en el momento de la entrada en el estudio (es decir, la situación clínica y todos los medicamentos crónicos deben haberse mantenido sin cambios desde al menos 2 semanas antes de empezar el tratamiento en este estudio).

    b) El sujeto es una mujer que no es potencialmente fértil, definido como una mujer que: (1) es postmenopáusica (definido como al menos 12 meses sin menstruación en mujeres ? 45 años); (2) se ha sometido a una histerectomía o una ooforectomía bilateral, salpingectomía bilateral o ligadura/oclusión de trompas bilateral al menos 6 semanas antes de la selección; O (3) tiene una afección congénita o adquirida que le impide tener hijos.
    c) El sujeto es una mujer o un hombre que es potencialmente fértil y se compromete a evitar quedarse embarazada o dejar embarazada a una pareja mientras reciba el fármaco del estudio y durante los 14 días posteriores a la última dosis del fármaco del estudio cumpliendo uno de los siguientes: (1) mantener abstinencia de actividad heterosexual O (2) utilizar (o hacer que su pareja utilice) métodos anticonceptivos aceptables durante su actividad heterosexual. Son métodos anticonceptivos aceptables:
    Método sencillo (se acepta uno de los siguientes):
    ? Dispositivo intrauterino (DIU)
    ? Vasectomía de una pareja masculina de un sujeto de sexo femenino
    ? Varilla anticonceptiva colocada bajo la piel
    Método de combinación (se requiere el uso de dos de los siguientes):
