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   44157   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7327   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.

    D.8 Information on Placebo
    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Hypertension, Pulmonary
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Cardiovascular Diseases [C14]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to evaluate safety, tolerability and
    pharmacokinetics
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary objectives: exploratory efficacy. 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 or BNP), Quality of Life (QoL) measurements (SF-10, PedsQL), echocardiographic variables and taste assessment (questionnaire).
    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)
    Regardless of the type of PAH, the following findings are not exclusionary:
    o Patent foramen ovale (PFO)
    o And asymptomatic, isolated, ostium secundum atrial septal defect (OSASD) ≤ 1 cm (both confirmed by echocardiogram) and not associated with hemodynamic alterations indicative of significant shunt, e.g. Qp/Qs ratio less <1.5:1 are not exclusionary
    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 on standard of care PAH medications, allowing
    Endothelin Receptor Antagonists (ERA) and/or Prostacyclin Analogues
    (PCA), for at least 12 weeks prior to baseline visit.
    Two groups of patients will be included:
    o Prevalent: Patients currently on PAH medication (allowing ERA and/or PCA)who need additional treatment (discretion of the investigator)
    o Incident: Treatment naïve patients initiated on PAH medication (allowing ERA and/or PCA) and then riociguat added once patients are stable on standard of care
    6. WHO functional class I-III
    7. Adolescent females of childbearing potential can only be included in the study if a pregnancy test is negative. Adolescent females of childbearing potential must agree to receive sexual counseling and use effective contraception and receive sexual counseling as applicable. ‘Effective contraception’ is defined as progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (implant), intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), or any combination of adequate methods of birth control (e.g. condoms with hormonal contraception). Agreement to use contraception is required from the signing of the informed consent form up until 4 weeks after the last study drug administration.
    8. Young men must agree to use adequate contraception when sexually active.
    9. Written inform consent provided and if applicable child assent provided
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Concomitant use of the following medication: phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5 inhibitors (such as sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) and non-specific phosphodiesterase PDE inhibitors (theophylline, dipyridamole) nitrates or NO donors (such as amyl nitrite) in any form
    (Footnote: Pretreatment with the phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5 inhibitor
    Sildenafil is allowed up to 24 h prior to start of riociguat treatment (Visit
    1). Pretreatment with the phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5 inhibitor tadalafil
    is allowed up to 3 days prior to start of riociguat treatment (Visit 1).
    Patients are not expected to be withdrawn from treatment with PDE5i
    for the purpose of entering into this trial. During the period without
    PDE5i, patients who received treatment with PDE5i are expected to be
    on stable clinical condition and receiving standard of care treatment with
    ERA and/or PCAs.)
    2. Pretreatment with NO donors (e.g. nitrates) within the last 2-weeks before visit 1. The use of any drug including NO acutely for testing during catheterization is not an exclusion criterion.
    3. Active state of hemoptysis or pulmonary hemorrhage, including those events managed by bronchial artery embolization or any history of bronchial artery embolization or massive hemoptysis within 3 months prior to screening
    4. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) more than 5 mmHg lower than the age-, sex- and height-adapted level of the 50th SBP percentile (NHBPEP, 2004)
