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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Nov 2015
    • A change to the exclusion criteria, to exclude subjects with both a) positive C7 ELISA and b) a positive indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) with binding to the base of salt split skin. • The removal of a secondary end point relating to quality of life data, which will now be captured as part of a nested study with an independent application to an Ethics Committee. • A new secondary end point to perform flow cytometry to evaluate the cytotoxic T-cell signature at 24 to 48 hours post first infusion. This will involve an optional blood test and for all patients who partake in this an additional visit will be required, which has also been added to the protocol (visit 2a). • The number of skin biopsies have also been reduced from 6 to 4, so the visit schedule has been updated accordingly to reflect these changes and a new table has been included in v3.0 to make the procedures per visit easier to see. • The removal of the data monitoring committee section as this study only has a trial steering committee. • The statistics section has been updated to explain that attempts will be made to replace patients that do not completed at least 6 months of the trial and No interim analysis will now be performed.
    27 Jan 2016
    It includes a change to one of the inclusion criteria, as highlighted below: Protocol v3.0 wording: ‘Individuals with a diagnosis of RDEB confirmed by DNA analysis and skin immunofluorescence for partial or complete absence of type VII collagen.’ Protocol v4.0 New wording: ‘Individuals with a diagnosis of RDEB confirmed by DNA analysis.’
    03 Apr 2017
    The protocol has been amended to change the conduct and management of the trial by removing visit 2a and reducing the follow up for the final two patients in the trial from 12 to 8 months.
