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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    End point description
    Incidence of FIX inhibitor was defined as any result determined as positive at local laboratory, and confirmed at central laboratory with Nijmegen assay result greater than or equal to (>=)0.6 Bethesda Unit (BU). Incidence was stratified by subject exposure history - Minimally Treated Patients (MTPs): those who had received at least one prior FIX infusion, and less than or equal to (<=) 100 documented Exposure Days (EDs); while Previously Treated Patients (PTPs): those who had received >100 documented prior EDs. When number of prior EDs for an individual was not known to be at least 100, subjects were included in the MTP population. Safety Set (SS) population included all enrolled subjects who had taken at least 1 dose of drug. The 'n' is signifying those subjects who received study drug and were evaluated for this measure at the timepoint for each visit respectively.

    FIX Incremental Recovery
    End point description
    FIX recovery was assessed by evaluating FIX:C after initial exposure and following 6 months of repeated exposures to BeneFIX. A modified FIX recovery study was performed at Day 1 (Visit 2) and Month 6/Final/Early Termination visits (Visit 4) and when clinically indicated at the applicable on-demand visits. Blood samples for determination of FIX:C were collected immediately before BeneFIX infusion and at 30 minutes (±5 minutes) after the start of infusion. Post-infusion blood samples were collected via venipuncture in arm contralateral to arm used for infusion. FAS population included all subjects who were treated and had at least 1 evaluable efficacy assessment after treatment. The 'n' is signifying those subjects who received study drug and were evaluated for this measure at the timepoint for each visit respectively.
