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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The trial was conducted across 3 sites in Thessaloniki. The first subject was recruited in Sep 2016; with the last subject last visit planned for Sep 2019, on Feb 2019 Astra-Zeneca notified the sponsor/investigators of its intention to terminate the financial support, leading to premature trial termination with last randomized patient in Mar 2019.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 123 participants consented to participate in the study, of which 38 were screen failures; 85 participants were finally randomized (43 to dapagliflozin and 42 to placebo).

    Blinding implementation details
    The Sponsor, the CRO, investigators, study staff, and the patients were blinded to study drug assignment during the double-blind period of the trial, from the time of randomization until the database lock. The following methods were used to ensure the blinding: a)Randomization data were kept confidential until the time of unblinding and were not accessible by anyone else involved in the study, b) the identity of the treatments was concealed by the use of study drugs that were all identical.
