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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Clinical cure, defined as the absence of Clostridium Difficile infection, in 90 days after the end of treatment

    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    A interim analysis will be done when 30 patients in each treatment group has been followed for 90 days.
    Final evaluation will be done after 180 days of follow-up after treatment on all patients.
    Vi planlægger en interimanalyse af cure rate (efter 90 dages opfølgning) i de tre behandlingsarme efter 30 patienter i hver behandlingsarm. Endelig evaluering foretages efter 180 dages opfølgning af alle patienter.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    - Early (Between 14-30 days after) and late (after 31-180 days) recurrence of CDI after end of treatment.
    - Days with diarrhea in week 1, 4, 8, 12 after end of treatment.
    - CDI-associated hospitalization and hospitalization of other causes in the 180 days of follow-up after end of treatment.
    - CDI-associated outpatient hospital contact and outpatient hospital contact of other causes in the 180 days of follow-up after end of treatment.

    - CDI-associated morbidity, CDI-associated mortality and all-cause mortality 3 years and 5 years after end of treatment (as part of a prospective registerbased study after end of trial).

    Subgroup analyzes:
    - The effect of treatment (primary endpoint) in the three treatment arms by stratification of patients in groups with 1 recurrence and with ≥2 recurrences.
    - The effect of treatment (primary endpoint), depending on the CD strain - respectively toxin B CDI cases, toxin B plus binary toxin CDI cases and CD027 CDI cases.
    - Treatment effect (primary endpoint), depending on the patients' serum level of antibodies to Toxin A and B, anti-TcdA and anti-TcdB, at inclusion.

    Other analyzes:
    - Registration of antibiotic treatments and temporal association with new recurrences of CDI in 180 days after the end of treatment.
    - Identification of demographic and clinical factors associated with treatment success / failure.
    - Characterization of the intestinal microbiota before and after FMT / RBI, in conjunction with characterization of intestinal microbiota in donors / RBI mixture. This will only be carried out in a subset of patients.
    - Measurement of the bile acid composition before and after FMT / RBI. Comparing with microbiota composition and treatment efficacy. Will be conducted on the same subset of patients as above.
    - Characterization of the CD strain in the case of recurrence after treatment to determine whether it is a relapse (same strain) or a reinfection (with new strain).
