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   44064   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7320   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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    MPS IIIB is a devastating lysosomal storage disease, caused by a N-α-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU) gene defect. Infants with MPS IIIB appear normal at birth, but the disease is relentlessly progressive, with deterioration of social and adaptive abilities, neurocognitive decline, and premature death. Death typically occurs by end of the second or beginning of the third decade. Quite importantly, there is no treatment currently available for the disease.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB is a genetic disease in children, caused by the toxicity of an accumulation of substances in the body that generate a progressive deterioration.

    a. No detectable or significantly reduced NAGLU enzyme activity by plasma assay, and
    b. Genomic DNA analysis demonstrating homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the NAGLU gene
    2.

    5. Active viral infection based on clinical observations as infections by Adenoviruses, Epstein-Barr Virus, Cytomegalovirus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
    6. Concomitant illness or requirement for chronic drug treatment that in the opinion of the PI creates unnecessary risks for gene transfer, or precludes the child from participating in the protocol assessments and follow up, as autoimmune diseases requiring immunosuppression, such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura.
    7. Subjects with total anti-AAV9 antibody titers ≥ 1:100 as determined by ELISA binding immunoassay.
