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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of 24 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab administered once monthly (QM) compared with placebo QM on percent change from baseline in low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive subjects with hyperlipidemia and/or mixed dyslipidemia.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations/guidelines, and Food and Drug Administration regulations and guidelines set forth in 21 Code of Federal Regulations parts 11, 50, 54, 56, and 312. The investigator or his/her designee informed the subject of all aspects pertaining to the subject’s participation in the study before any screening procedures were performed.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This study was conducted at 72 centers in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States. The first participant was enrolled on 22 May 2017, and the last participant was enrolled on 23 January 2019.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to evolocumab or placebo, respectively, in a double-blind manner. Randomization was stratified by entry statin treatment and hepatitis C status.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: 3 participants did not continue into the open-label period.
    [2] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: 4 participants did not receive open-label study drug.
