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   43861   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.

    (1) To estimate the proportion of subjects with favorable overall response to IMI/MK-7655 (Treatment Group 1 only) and to CMS + IMI (Treatment Group 2).
    The overall response will be estimated based on the following: (a) survival (based upon all-cause mortality) through Day 28 post-randomization in subjects with HABP/VABP, (b) clinical response at Day 28 post-randomization for subjects with cIAI and (c) the composite clinical and microbiological response at the early follow-up visit, EFU (Day 5 to 9 post-randomization) for subjects with cUTI.
    (2) To evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of IMI/MK-7655 (Treatment Group 1 only).
    (1) Obiettivo: Stimare la percentuale di soggetti con risposta complessiva favorevole a IMI/REL (solo Gruppo di trattamento 1) e a CMS+IMI (Gruppo di trattamento 2).
    La risposta complessiva sarà stimata sulla base di quanto segue: (a) sopravvivenza (in base alla mortalità da tutte le cause) fino al Giorno 28 post-randomizzazione nei soggetti con HABP/VABP, (b) risposta clinica al Giorno 28 post-randomizzazione per i soggetti con cIAI e (c) risposta composita clinica e microbiologica alla visita di follow-up precoce, EFU (da Giorno 5 a giorno 9 post-randomizzazione) per i soggetti con cUTI.
    (2) Obiettivo: Valutare il profilo di sicurezza e tollerabilità di IMI/REL (solo Gruppo di trattamento 1).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    (1) To estimate the proportion of subjects with a favorable clinical response to IMI/MK-7655 (Treatment Group 1 only) and CMS + IMI (Treatment Group 2) at Day 28 post-randomization; (2) To estimate the incidence of all-cause mortality through Day 28 post-randomization in Treatment Group 1 (IMI/MK-7655) and in Treatment Group 2 (CMS + IMI); (3) To estimate the proportion of subjects who experience treatment-emergent nephrotoxicity in Treatment Group 1 (IMI/MK-7655) and in Treatment Group 2 (CMS + IMI). Other secondary objective include evaluation of clinical response at various other timepoints during the trial, including on-therapy and post-therapy visits as well as evaluation of microbiological response in subjects with cUTI.
    (1) Obiettivo: Stimare la percentuale di soggetti con risposta clinica favorevole a IMI/REL (solo Gruppo di trattamento 1) e a CMS+IMI (Gruppo di trattamento 2) al Giorno 28 post-randomizzazione.
    (2) Obiettivo: Stimare l’incidenza della mortalità da tutte le cause fino al Giorno 28 post-randomizzazione nel Gruppo di trattamento 1 (IMI/REL) e nel Gruppo di trattamento 2 (CMS+IMI).
    (3) Obiettivo: Stimare la percentuale di soggetti che sviluppa una nefrotossicità successiva al trattamento nel Gruppo di trattamento 1 (IMI/REL) e nel Gruppo di trattamento 2 (CMS+IMI).
    Altri obiettivi secondari includono la valutazione della risposta clinica effettuata in vari altri timepoints durante lo studio, incluse le visite effettuate nel corso e dopo la fine del trattamento, come anche la valutazione della risposta microbiologica nei soggetti con cUTI.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Merck will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA (blood) specimens collected during this clinical trial. Such research is for biomarker testing to address emergent questions not described
    elsewhere in the protocol (as part of the main trial) and will only be conducted on specimens from appropriately consented subjects. The objective of collecting specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and/or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs, and/or to
    ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug at the correct time.
    Merck condurrà una Ricerca Biomedica Futura su campioni di DNA (estratti dal sangue) raccolti nel corso di questo studio clinico. Tale ricerca ha lo scopo di esaminare vari biomarcatori per rispondere a domande che stanno emergendo e che non sono descritte in altre parti del protocollo (nell’ambito dello studio principale), e verrà condotta solo su campioni di soggetti che abbiano rilasciato apposito consenso. L'obiettivo della raccolta dei campioni per la Ricerca Biomedica Futura è quello di esplorare e identificare biomarcatori che contribuiscano scientificamente alla comprensione delle malattie e/o della relative terapie. L'obiettivo ultimo è quello di utilizzare tali informazioni per sviluppare farmaci più sicuri e più efficaci, e/o per garantire che i soggetti ricevano la dose giusta del giusto farmaco al momento giusto.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy endpoint of the study is overall response. As the efficacy in clinical studies is typically measured differently for different infection types, overall response will be estimated based on the following: (a) all-cause mortality trough Day 28 post-randomization in subjects with HABP/VABP, (b) clinical response at Day 28 post-randomization for subjects with cIAI e (c) the composite clinical and microbiological response at EFU (Day 5 to 9 post-randomization) for subjects with cUTI.
    L’endpoint primario di efficacia è la risposta complessiva favorevole. Poiché l’efficacia negli studi clinici è misurata in modo diverso a seconda del tipo di infezione, la risposta complessiva sarà stimata sulla base di quanto segue: (a) sopravvivenza (in base alla mortalità da tutte le cause) fino al Giorno 28 post-randomizzazione nei soggetti con HABP/VABP, (b) risposta clinica al Giorno 28 post-randomizzazione per i soggetti con cIAI e (c) risposta composita clinica e microbiologica alla visita di follow-up precoce, EFU (da Giorno 5 a giorno9 post-randomizzazione) per i soggetti con cUTI.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The timing is dependent on the subject's primary infection site. For HABP/VABP and cIAI, it is Day 28 post-randomization and for cUTI it is 5 to 9 days following completion of study therapy.
    La valutazione dipende dal sito primario d’infezione del soggetto. Per i soggetti con HABP/VABP e cIAI corrisponde al Giorno 28 post-randomizzazione, mentre per i soggetti con cUTI corrisponde ai giorni 5 e 9 successivi al completamento dello studio
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    There are two key secondary measurements for efficacy in this study:
    • Clinical response at 28 days following initiation of IV study therapy (through Day 28 post-randomization)
    • All-cause mortality within 28 days after initiation of study therapy (through Day 28 post-randomization)
    Additional secondary endpoints include the following:
    • Clinical response at various other timepoints during the trial, including at Day 3 of study therapy (OTX), End of study therapy (EOT) and EFU.
    •Microbiological response in subjects with cUTI will be evaluated at OTX, EOT and at EFU.
    Lo studio possiede 2 endpoints secondari chiave d’efficacia:
    ● La risposta clinica favorevole dopo al giorno 28 dall’inizio della terapia in studio per via endovenosa (fino al Giorno 28 post-randomizzazione).
    ● La mortalità da tutte le cause fino al Giorno 28 dall’inizio della terapia in studio per via endovenosa (fino al Giorno 28 post-randomizzazione).
    Altri endpoints secondari includono:
    ● la risposta clinica favorevole ad altri punti temporali in corso di studio, fra cui il giorno 3 di terapia in studio (OTX), il termine della terapia in studio ( EOT) ed EFU
    ● la risposta microbiologica favorevole ai punti temporali OTX, EOT ed EFU nei soggetti con cUTI
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Both key secondary endpoints will be evaluated 28 days following randomization. Evaluation of other secondary endpoints is varied and included on Day 3 of study therapy, at the end of study therapy and 5 to 9 days following the end of study therapy.
    Entrambi gli endpoints secondari chiave saranno valutati 28 giorni dopo la randomizzazione. LA valutazione degli altri endpoints secondari è variabile ed include il giorno 3 di terapia in studio, la fine della terapia in studio e 5-9 giorni dopo il termine della terapia in studio.
