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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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
    (1) To evaluate the efficacy of suvorexant compared with placebo in improving insomnia, as measured by change from baseline in PSG-derived total sleep time (TST), at Week 4.
    (2) To evaluate the safety and tolerability of suvorexant for up to 4 weeks of treatment.

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of suvorexant compared with placebo in improving insomnia as measured by change from baseline in PSG-derived wakefulness after persistent sleep onset (WASO), at Week 4.
    Valutare l’efficacia di suvorexant rispetto al placebo nel migliorare l’insonnia in base alla variazione
    dal basale nella veglia dopo l’insorgenza del sonno (Wakefulness After Sleep Onset, WASO) persistente registrata dalla PSG alla
    Settimana 4.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Merck will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA (blood) specimens collected during this clinical trial. Such research is for biomarker testing to address emergent questions not described elsewhere in the protocol (as part of the main trial) and will only be conducted on specimens from appropriately consented subjects. The objective of collecting specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and/or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs, and/or to ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug at the correct time.
    Merck condurrà una Ricerca Biomedica Futura
    su campioni di DNA (estratti dal sangue) raccolti nel corso di questo studio clinico. Tale ricerca ha lo scopo di esaminare vari
    biomarcatori per rispondere a domande che stanno emergendo e che non sono descritte in altre parti del protocollo (nell ambito
    dello studio principale), e verrà condotta solo su campioni di soggetti che abbiano rilasciato apposito consenso. L'obiettivo della
    raccolta dei campioni per la Ricerca Biomedica Futura è quello di esplorare e identificare biomarcatori che contribuiscano
    scientificamente alla comprensione delle malattie e/o delle relative terapie. L'obiettivo ultimo è quello di utilizzare tali
    informazioni per sviluppare farmaci più sicuri e più efficaci, e/o per garantire che i soggetti ricevano la dose giusta del giusto
    farmaco al momento giusto.
