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   43854   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.

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    The following title is mentioned in the Patient Informed Consent but not on the protocol where a description of the genetic s study is contained:

    "Optional Genetics Research Study: A Phase 3b, Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Effect of Obeticholic Acid on Clinical Outcomes in Subjects with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis"

    A genetics study will be conducted in a subset of subjects who provide consent for analyses of these samples. Genetics samples will be collected at Day 0 and every other year beginning at Month 12.

    A genetics study for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that may be involved in PBC will be conducted for subjects and at study sites willing to provide samples at Day 0, Month 12, and every other year at the yearly visits thereafter. RNA expression resulting from treatment with OCA will be assessed at indicated timepoints during the study. Subjects will be permitted to decline to provide a blood sample for the genetics study, without affecting their involvement in the study. Clinical Research Ethic committees review and approval will be required and willing subjects must specifically consent to participate in this evaluation. The samples will be stored for up to 1 year after the end of the study and destroyed after 1 year if not analyzed.
    El siguiente título se menciona en el consentimiento informado del paciente, pero no en el protocolo en el que se incluye una descripción del estudio genético:
    "Estudio genético opcional: Estudio de fase 3b, doble ciego, randomizado, controlado con placebo, multicéntrico que evalúa el efecto del ácido obeticólico en los resultados clínicos en pacientes con cirrosis biliar primaria".

    Un subestudio de genética se llevará a cabo en un subgrupo de pacientes que hayan consentido a este análisis de sus muestras. Las muestras para la genética se recogerán en el Día 0 y cada 2 años a partir del Mes 12.

    Un estudio de la genética de los polimorfismos de un solo nucleótido (SNP) que pueden estar implicados en la CBP se llevará a cabo para los sujetos y en los sitios de estudio dispuestos a proporcionar muestras en el día 0, Mes 12, y cada dos años en las visitas anuales a partir de entonces. Expresión de ARN que resulta del tratamiento con AOC se evaluará en los puntos de tiempo indicados durante el estudio. A los pacientes se les permitirá negarse a proporcionar una muestra de sangre para el estudio de genética, sin afectar a su participación en el estudio. Se requerirá la revisión y aprobación por parte de los comités éticos de investigación clínica y los pacientes dispuestos a participar esta evaluación deben consentir específicamente. Las muestras serán almacenadas por hasta 1 año después del final del estudio y destruidas después de 1 año si no se analizan.

    Key Secondary Efficacy Analyses
    The key secondary efficacy endpoints are as follows:
    a. Time to first occurrence of MELD score ?15
    b. Time to liver transplant or death (all-cause)
    c. Change from Baseline in total bilirubin at end of study
    d. Change from Baseline in ALP at end of study
    Other Efficacy Analyses
    The following secondary efficacy analyses will compare OCA to placebo on time to the following events:
    a. Each component of the primary efficacy endpoint (except MELD score ? 15 which is listed above)
    b. Development of varix/varices
    c. Liver-related death
    d. Liver-related death or liver transplant
    e. Liver-related death, liver transplant, or MELD score ?15
    Safety Analysis
    Safety data, including AEs, vitals, electrocardiogram, and clinical laboratory results will compare OCA and placebo using the Safety Population.

    Health outcomes and pharmacokinetic analyses
    A continuación se presentan los principales criterios de valoración secundarios:
    a. Tiempo transcurrido hasta la primera manifestación de una puntuación de la escala MELD ?15
    b. Tiempo transcurrido hasta el trasplante de hígado o la muerte (por cualquier causa)
    c. Cambios en la bilirrubina total desde el valor de referencia al finalizar el estudio
    d. Cambios en la FA desde el valor de referencia al finalizar el estudio.
    Otros análisis de la eficacia
    Los siguientes análisis secundarios de la eficacia compararán el AOC con el placebo en cuanto al tiempo de manifestación de los siguientes acontecimientos:
    a. Cada componente del criterio de valoración principal de la eficacia (excepto la puntuación de MELD ?15 indicada anteriormente)
    b. Aparición de varices
    c. Muerte de origen hepático
    d. Muerte de origen hepático o trasplante de hígado
    e. Muerte de origen hepático, trasplante de hígado o puntuación de la escala MELD ?15.
    Análisis de la seguridad
    Los datos de seguridad, incluidos los AA, las constantes vitales, el electrocardiograma y los resultados analíticos compararán el AOC con el placebo utilizando la población de seguridad.
