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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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 assess the safety and tolerability of oral ziprasidone (40-80 milligram [mg] twice a day [BID]) during long-term, open-label administration in children and adolescents with Bipolar I Disorder - Single Manic Episode; Bipolar I Disorder – Most Recent Episode Manic, or Bipolar I Disorder – Most Recent Episode Mixed.
    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.

    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Treatment emergent adverse events are reported from time of first dose of study treatment up to 6 days after last dose of study treatment.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Safety population = all randomized subjects with at least 1 dose of study treatment. An Adverse Event (AE) term may be reported as both a serious and non-serious AE, but are distinct events. AE may = serious for 1 subject and = non-serious for another subject or subject may have experienced both a serious and non-serious episode of the same event.

    Dosing was flexible, with dosing adjustments made at the discretion of the investigator to maintain optimal efficacy and tolerability. For subjects having a body weight of 45 kg or greater, the target dosage range was 40-80 mg BID (80-160 mg/day). For subjects having a body weight under 45 kg, the maximum permitted dose was 80 mg/day (40 mg BID).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    06 Dec 2006
    1- In assessments, fasting glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were added to clinical laboratory testing. 2- Daily dose of study medication for subjects with a body weight of ≥ 45 kg changed to 40-80 mg/day from 60-80 mg/day. 3- In trial design, minimum dose of the preceding double-blind study was decided for the dose reduction in subjects ≥45 kg, who cannot tolerate a dose of 80 mg/day. 4- In Trial Treatment, inhaled steroids were also added along with the topical steroids in the category of medicines for which use is allowed only if taken during preceding double-blind study with stable dose and clinical condition; and benzhexol and other anticholinergics were added in the category of medicines which are allowed without condition. 5- An additional category (≥460 msec) was used in QTcF reporting. 6- A change was made in the reporting priorities of AEs. A decision was made to report the treatment-emergent AEs as the main safety output, and “All AEs” were reported as additional tables. Combined data are the main analyses and consist of all subjects, regardless of the treatment assignment in the preceding double-blind study (A1281132).

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The AE tables were amended to incorporate previously unreported AEs that were found during an independent audit and verified by the investigators.
