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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 assess the safety and efficacy of ALLOB® in rescue interbody fusion over 12 months in patients suffering from failed lumbar fusion at one or two level(s).

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The other efficacy endpoints are:

    -Changes in ODI 2.1a at each FU visit
    -Changes in Back and Leg Pain VAS at each FU visit
    -Changes in Global Disease Evaluation VAS at each FU visit
    -Lumbar fusion progression using the Fusion Score at Month 6, 9, 12

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    ALLOB® biodistribution and bone remodelling/formation
    The objective of this sub-study is to investigate the biodistribution, locally and systematically, of radio-labelled ALLOB® cells after the implantation at the failed lumbar fusion level. The timepoints for biodistribution are 4 ± 2 hours (if the patient is capable to undergo the procedure), 24 ± 4 hours, 48 ± 4 hours and 72 ± 4 hours post-implantation.
    An additional objective is to assess the healing process (bone remodelling/formation) of the failed lumbar fusion level. The timepoints for bone remodelling/formation are the day before implantation, 3 Months, 6 Months and 9 Months post-implantation.
    The biodistribution sub-study will only be conducted on maximum 6 patients in a single centre.
