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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the effect of ruxolitinib in delaying progression of MF from early disease to advanced disease.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Approximately 320 male or female adults (age 18 or over) with a confirmed diagnosis of MF were planned to be enrolled. The target population was not met due to early study termination. A total of 49 subjects were enrolled in the study, 25 in the ruxolitinib arm and 24 in the placebo arm.

    End point description
    EQ-5D profiles were tabulated at baseline and each scheduled assessment. EQ visual analogue scale values were summarized descriptively by arm for each scheduled visit. The 5 scores for mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression are all self-explanatory (eg “I have no problems walking” to “I am unable to walk”), except for the following overall health check, where 100 is the best of health, and 0 is the worst health, Only the categories with non-zero counts are presented with these results.
