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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 4 weeks of run-in treatment on 150 mg nintedanib twice daily, followed by 12 weeks of randomised treatment with either Nintedanib alone or with the combined treatment of Nintedanib and Pirfenidone.In this study,105 subjects were enrolled & randomized.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 All subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in trial. Subjects attended specialist sites to ensure that they (the subjects) met all implemented inclusion/exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be randomised to trial drug if any of the specific entry criteria was violated.

    		 Patients were orally administered Nintedanib 2x150 mg soft gelatine capsule daily (1 capsule of 150 mg twice daily) with the possibility to reduce to 2x100 mg daily (1 capsule of 100 mg twice daily). One subject randomised to Nintedanib was not treated. Although actual number of subjects started is 52, 51 were reported to ensure consistent reporting with baseline characteristics that includes only treated subjects.

The pirfenidone dose was titrated up to 2403 mg daily according to the following schedule: 801 mg (1 capsule of 267 mg 3 times daily) from Visit 3 until the phone call visit ; 1602 mg daily (2 capsules of each 267 mg 3 times daily) after the phone call visit; 2403 mg daily (3 capsules of each 267 mg 3 times daily) starting at Visit 4 after the PK sampling had been performed.The dose of pirfenidone could have been reduced to 1 or 2 capsule(s) 3 times daily.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline characteristics are based on the patients who were randomised after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one of the trial medication.

    Date
    Amendment
    19 Feb 2016
    The following main changes in the conduct of the trial were introduced by the amendment: 1) The trial clinical monitor responsibility changed. 2) Clarification that all treated patients needed to attend the end-of-treatment and follow-up visits. 3) Clarification that the collection of the vital status was only required for randomised patients. 4) The Exclusion Criterion no. 8 was updated (i.e. inclusion of severe renal impairment based on Cockroft-Gault) to match the summary of product characteristics of pirfenidone. 5) Patients developing signs or symptoms of angioedema were to permanently discontinue pirfenidone; this specification was added to match the summary of product characteristics of pirfenidone. 6) Exclusion Criterion no. 20 was added based on advice from regulatory agencies: patients with underlying chronic liver disease (Child Pugh A, B, or C hepatic impairment)
