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.

    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Aim of this study is to determine the effect of mebeverine on abdominal pain intensity and frequency in children with irritable bowel syndrome or functional abdominal pain - not otherwise specified.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To investigate the effect of mebeverine on other outcome parameters such as adequate relief, quality of life, depression and anxiety scores, and school absenteeism in children with irritable bowel syndrome or functional abdominal pain.
    To study the influence of labelling on the effect of both mebeverine and placebo on pain scores.
    To investigate the effect of reassurance, explanation and simple dietary and behavioural advice on abdominal pain intensity and frequency in children with irritable bowel syndrome or functional abdominal pain.
    To determine the safety of mebeverine in children with irritable bowel syndrome or functional abdominal pain.
    To study the effect of mebeverine on the faecal gut microbiota composition.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria:
    All children aged between 12 and 18 years diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome or functional abdominal pain – not otherwise specified according to the Rome IV criteria will be invited to participate. The Rome IV criteria form the internationally accepted standard for defining functional gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and functional abdominal pain – not otherwise specified.1 Before inclusion, all patients undergo routine laboratory testing to exclude underlying organic disorders: complete blood cell count, C-reactive protein, celiac screening (anti-transglutaminase antibodies and IgA), fecal screening on Giardia lamblia if patient presents with diarrhea, and on calprotectin in case an Inflammatory Bowel Disease is suspected. The need for further diagnostic testing is left to the discretion of the treating physician.
    Finally, according to a recently published guideline by the Rome Foundation for the design of pharmacological clinical trials in children, patients are required to have an average daily pain rate of ≥2 on the Wong Baker Faces Pain Scale. This is a validated pain scale to measure pain intensity.
    In addition, Informed Consent by both parents and by children aged ≥ 12 years is a necessity before children can be included in the study.

    Rome IV criteria for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in children and adolescents:
    Diagnostic criteria* must include all of the following:
    - Abdominal pain at least 4 days per month associated with one or more of the following:
    a. Related to defecation
    b. A change in frequency of stool
    c. A change in form (appearance) of stool
    - In children with constipation, the pain does not resolve with resolution of the constipation (children in whom the pain resolves have functional constipation, not irritable bowel syndrome)
    - After appropriate evaluation, the symptoms cannot be fully explained by another medical condition
    * Criteria fulfilled for at least 2 months before diagnosis

    Rome IV criteria for functional abdominal pain – not otherwise specified (FAP-NOS) in children and adolescents:
    Diagnostic criteria* must be fulfilled 4 times per month and include all of the following:
    1. Episodic or continuous abdominal pain that does not occur solely during physiologic events (e.g., eating, menses)
    2. Insufficient criteria for irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, or abdominal migraine
    3. After appropriate evaluation, the abdominal pain cannot be fully explained by another medical condition.
    * Criteria fulfilled at least 2 months before diagnosis.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
    • Current treatment by another health care professional for abdominal symptoms
    • Previous use of mebeverine
    • Known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients (magnesium stearate, polyacrylate dispersion, talc, hypromellose, methacrylic acid – ethyl acrylate copolymer (1:1) dispersion, glycerol triacetate, gelatine, titanium dioxide (E171), shellac (E904), propylene glycol, ammonia solution (concentrated), potassium hydroxide, iron oxide black (E172)).
    • Known diagnosis of cystic fibrosis
    • Known diagnosis of porphyria
    • Known concomitant organic gastrointestinal disease
    • Current use of drugs which influence gastrointestinal motility, such as erythromycin, azithromycin, domperidone, and Iberogast.
    • Insufficient knowledge of the Dutch language
    • Known pregnancy or current lactation
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The proportion of patients with > 50% reduction of their abdominal pain intensity and pain frequency after 8 weeks of drug therapy
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Twelve weeks and sixteen weeks after start at baseline
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Change in Quality of Life
    Change in depression and anxiety score
    Number of school absences during the treatment
    Use of pain rescue medication during the treatment (like paracetamol or NSAIDs)
    Health status
    Somatisation scores
    Expectancy of the treatment
    Change in IBS/ FAP symptoms on a 7 point scale (IBS-GAI)
    Adequate relief
    Effect of positive labelling
    Microbiota composition
    Safety of mebeverine use
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
