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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of bodyweight adjusted riociguat treatment in children with PAH.
    El objetivo principal es evaluar la seguridad, la tolerabilidad y la farmacocinética del tratamiento con riociguat ajustado según el peso corporal en niños con HAP.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary exploratory objectives are to characterize the pharmacodynamic profile of riociguat comprising the following exploratory parameters: time to clinical worsening (TTCW), exercise capacity (6MWD test), functional capacity (measured by WHO FC), laboratory biomarkers (NT-proBNP), QoL measurements (SF-10), echocardiographic variables and taste assessment (questionnaire).
    Los objetivos exploratorios secundarios tienen como finalidad caracterizar el perfil farmacodinámico de riociguat y comprenden los siguientes parámetros exploratarios: tiempo hasta el empeoramiento clínico (THEC), capacidad de ejercicio (prueba 6MWD), capacidad funcional (medida por la CF de la OMS), biomarcadores de laboratorio (NT-proBNP), mediciones de la CdV (SF-10), parámetros ecocardiográficos y evaluación del sabor (cuestionario).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Children aged >=6 to <18 years.
    2. Diagnosed with PAH :
    - Idiopathic (IPAH)
    - Hereditable (HPAH)
    - PAH associated with (APAH)
    o Connective tissue disease
    o Congenital heart disease with shunt closure more than 6 months ago (no open shunts, confirmed by RHC no less than 4 months after surgery)
    3. Diagnosis of PAH confirmed by right heart catheterization (RHC) at any time prior to enrolment (for patients with closed shunts - RHC no less than 4 months after surgery)
    4. Pulmonary arterial hypertension confirmed by a RHC at any time prior to start of study, with mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAPmean) >=25 mmHg at rest, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) or left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) <=15 mmHg, and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >240 dyn.sec.cm-5 (i.e., >=3.0 wood units.m2)
    5. Patients must be treated with standard of care comprising background therapy and stable
    dose of bosentan (at least 12 weeks with stable doses).
    Two groups of patients will be included:
    o Prevalent: Patients currently on monotherapy with bosentan who need additional treatment (discretion of the investigator)
    o Incident: Treatment naïve patients initiated on bosentan then riociguat added once bosentan dose is stable for at least 12 weeks.
    6. WHO functional class I, II and III

    combination of at least 2 effective methods of birth control, of which at least one is a physical barrier (e.g. condoms with hormonal contraception or implants or combined oral contraceptives, certain intrauterine devices). Adequate contraception is required from the signing of the informed consent form up until 6 weeks after the last study drug administration.
    8. Young men must agree to use adequate contraception when sexually active.
