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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    1. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intravenous (IV) sildenafil in near-term and term newborns with Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) or with hypoxic respiratory failure and at risk for PPHN to determine doses for Part 2 of the study (Part1). 2. To determine the efficacy of IV sildenafil in near-term and term newborns with PPHN or with hypoxic respiratory failure and at risk for PPHN (Part 2 ).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Study part 2 was not performed. Use of inhaled NO to treat persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn suggested that indication for sildenafil monotherapy may not be possible. A primary endpoint to support labelled indication has yet to be defined.
