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   43857   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.

    A.3Full title of the trial
    Titlle: Subcutaneous immunoglobulins with rHuPH20 in multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN)

    It is an interventional cross-over study where the use of the combination of subcutaneous immunoglobulins together with the enzyme hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) is compared with the current gold standard intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg). Non-inferiority and tolerability are studied in 20 MMN patients. The reason to add rHuPH20 is to increase volumes per infusion and in this way contribute to reduced frequency of infusions.
    Titel: Subcutane immunoglobulines met rHuPH20 in multifocale motorische neuropathie (MMN).

    Dit is een cross-over interventiestudie waarin het gebruik van de combinatie van subcutane immunoglobulines samen met het enzyme hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) vergeleken zal worden met de goeden standaard intraveneuse immunoglobulines. (IVIg). Non-inferiority en tolerantie zullen de primaire uitkomstmaten worden gemeten bij 20 MMN patienten. De reden van de toevoeging van rHuPH20 is om volumes per infusie te vergroten en om zo bij te dragen aan een gereduceerde infusiefrequentie.
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    Immunoglobulins given under the skin to treat patients with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). To increase the amount of immunoglobulins, an enzyme is added that will temporarily create more space under the skin. This space is filled with immunoglobulins. By this way less infusions should be needed.
    Onderhuids gegeven immunoglobulines bij mensen met multifocale motorische neuropathie (MMN). Om de hoeveelheden per gift te vergroten wordt voor de immunoglobulines een enzym onder de huid gegeven die daar tijdelijk meer ruimte maakt. Die ruimte zal benut worden om de immunoglobulines te injecteren. Op deze manier zal minder vaak een gift gegeven hoeven te worden.

    F.5 Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)
    Hyqvia infusions is already been performed in immunodeficiencies and data show similar results for effecicacy and significantly less (S)AEs. Also the autonomy of the patient is ameliorated because of the lack of a nurse and IV entrance.
    SC infusions can be done by the patient itself. The repeating character of this handling makes it a promising way of treatment for the future.
