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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    To demonstrate that ZX008 0.8 mg/kg/day is superior to placebo as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of Dravet syndrome in children and young adults based on change in the frequency of convulsive seizures between baseline and the combined Titration and Maintenance Periods (T+M).
    Dimostrare che ZX008 a un dosaggio di 0,8 mg/kg/giorno è superiore rispetto al placebo come terapia supplementare nel trattamento della sindrome di Dravet nei bambini e nei giovani adulti, sulla base della variazione nella frequenza delle crisi convulsive tra il basale e i periodi combinati di titolazione e mantenimento (T+M).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To demonstrate that ZX008 0.2 mg/kg/day is superior to placebo as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of Dravet syndrome based on change in the frequency of convulsive seizures between baseline and T+M.
    • To demonstrate that the ZX008 0.2 and 0.8 mg/kg/day dose groups are (independently) superior to placebo on the following endpoints:
    - The proportion of subjects who achieve a ≥40% reduction from baseline in convulsive seizure frequency.
    - The proportion of subjects who achieve a ≥50% reduction from baseline in convulsive seizure frequency.
    - The longest convulsive seizure-free interval.

    Please refer to the Clinical Study Protocol, Section 2 Study Objectives and Endpoints for complete list of Secondary Endpoints
    • Dimostrare che ZX008 a un dosaggio di 0,2 mg/kg/giorno è superiore rispetto al placebo come terapia supplementare nel trattamento della sindrome di Dravet, sulla base della variazione nella frequenza delle crisi convulsive tra il basale e i periodi T+M.
    • Dimostrare che i gruppi ZX008 al dosaggio di 0,2 e 0,8 mg/kg/giorno sono (individualmente) superiori al placebo nei seguenti endpoint:
    - Proporzione di soggetti che raggiungono una riduzione ≥ 40% rispetto al basale nella frequenza delle crisi convulsive.
    - Proporzione di soggetti che raggiungono una riduzione ≥ 50% rispetto al basale nella frequenza delle crisi convulsive.
    - Intervallo di tempo di maggior durata libero da crisi convulsive.

Subjects must be excluded if they report suicidal behavior in the past 6 months as measured by the C-SSRS at Screening or Baseline, which includes suicidal ideation with intent and plan (Item #5). If a subject reports suicidal ideation on Item 4 without specific plan, and the investigator feels that the subject is appropriate for the study considering the potential risks, the investigator must document appropriateness for inclusion, and discuss with the parent/caregiver to be alert to mood or behavioral changes, especially around times of dose adjustment.
    6. Subject has a current or past history of glaucoma.
    7. Subjects with moderate or severe hepatic impairment may not be entered. Asymptomatic subjects with mild hepatic impairment (elevated liver enzymes < 3xULN and/or elevated bilirubin <2xULN) may be entered into the study after review and approval by the Medical Monitor in conjunction with the sponsor, with consideration of potential cause, concomitant medications, and other risk factors.
    8. Subject is receiving concomitant therapy with: centrally-acting anorectic agents; monoamine-oxidase inhibitors; any centrally-acting compound with clinically appreciable amount of serotonin agonist or antagonist properties, including serotonin reuptake inhibition; atomoxetine, or other centrally-acting noradrenergic agonist; cyproheptadine, and/or CYP 2D6/3A4/2B6 inhibitors/substrates (see Appendix 1 of the study protocol).

    2. Il soggetto soffre di ipertensione polmonare.
    3. Il soggetto presenta un’anamnesi patologica prossima o remota di malattia cardiovascolare o cerebrovascolare, quale valvulopatia cardiaca, infarto miocardico o ictus.

I soggetti devono essere esclusi se allo screening o al basale riferiscono comportamenti suicidi negli ultimi 6 mesi, secondo la valutazione della scala C-SSRS, ivi inclusa l’ideazione suicidaria con intenzione e pianificazione (Elemento N. 5). Se un soggetto riferisce ideazione suicidaria senza una specifica pianificazione, indicata nell’Elemento 4, e lo sperimentatore, considerando i rischi potenziali, ritiene che il soggetto sia idoneo allo studio, lo sperimentatore deve documentare la congruità dell’inclusione e chiedere al genitore/badante di prestare attenzione ai cambiamenti dell’umore o comportamentali, specialmente nei periodi di aggiustamento della dose.
