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   43888   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7297   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    We wish to determine if in older moderately frail patients treated with metformin for their diabetes the addition of a
    commonly prescribed treatment for diabetes, glimepiride, at a modest dose only leads to an increase in the risk of a
    low blood sugar state (a 'hypo').
    Obiettivo primario del presente studio PILOTA a breve termine per la determinazione del tasso di ipoglicemia sarà quello di valutare la differenza (espressa come variazione % degli eventi ipoglicemici lievi-moderati) tra glimepiride (2-4 mg due volte/die) somministrata in aggiunta a merformina e metformina in monoterapia (alla dose massima di 1500 mg/die), in pazienti con diabete di tipo 2 lievemente-moderatamente fragili di età >70 anni
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Using a method of continuous subcutaneous blood glucose monitoring using an approved userfriendly
    device called
    the Dexcom G4 Platinum, we wish to determine if in patients given glimepiride there is evidence of hypoglycaemia
    occurring and in particular we wish to record any levels of sugar (glucose) that are less than 4 mmol/l and also if levels
    fall below 3 mmol/l.
    Valutare la durata (in minuti) e la percentuale di tempo con livelli di glucosio <54 mg/dl (3 mmol/l) durante un periodo di 24 ore; (ii) Incidenza e timing degli episodi ipoglicemici con livelli di glucosio =70 mg/dl (=3,9 mmol/l) e <54 mg/dl o pari a 3 mmol/l durante un periodo di 24 ore, utilizzando un sistema di monitoraggio continuo della glicemia DEXCOM
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    1. Frail older patients with type 2 diabetes without adequate glycemic control (HbA1c >8.0%, >64 mmol/mol) while on metformin treatment. A previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus will have met ADA criteria. Frailty will be identified by using the easy to use Clinical Frailty Scale (see appendix) with patients being described as point 4 (vulnerable), or point 5 (mildly frail), or point 6 (moderately frail (18): Research staff will be instructed how to assess for the frailty criteria using this tool.
    2. Patient understands the study procedures, alternative treatments available, and risks involved with the study, and voluntarily agrees to participate by giving written informed consent.
