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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.2.3Trial 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.
    There will also be a separate imaging sub-study involving echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), at participating sites. Consenting patients will participate, however participation in the imaging sub-studies is optional and does not impact participation in the main study. The imaging sub-study will be subject to a separate informed consent and ancillary document.
    Merck llevará a cabo investigaciones biomédicas futuras con las muestras de ADN obtenidas para tal fin durante este ensayo clínico.
    El objetivo de tales investigaciones consiste en analizar biomarcadores para abordar cuestiones que surjan y no aparezcan descritas en otras partes del protocolo (como parte del ensayo principal), lo que solo se hará en muestras de sujetos que hayan otorgado el debido consentimiento. El objetivo de la obtención de muestras para investigaciones biomédicas futuras consiste en estudiar e identificar biomarcadores que proporcionen conocimiento científico sobre las enfermedades y/o sus tratamientos. El objetivo último consiste en utilizar tal información para desarrollar vacunas y fármacos más seguros y
    eficaces y/o para garantizar que los sujetos reciban la dosis correcta del fármaco o vacuna adecuado en el momento preciso.
    Habrá un sub-estudio independiente de imagen que incluye una ecocardiografía y resonancia magnética cardiovascular, en los centros participantes. Los pacientes que consientan podrán participar, de cualquier formar la participación en los sub-estudios de imagen es opcional y no tiene ningún impacto en la participación del estudio principal. El sub-estudio de imagen tendrá un Consentimiento Informado separado, complementario.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint of the study is the time-to first occurrence of the composite of CV death or HF hospitalization. This endpoint integrates the cause-specific components CV death and HF hospitalization and is the most frequently used primary endpoint in recent Phase III HFrEF trials. Subjects without a HF hospitalization or CV death at the time of analysis will be censored at the time of a non-CV death or time of last information available for subjects still alive at time of analysis.
    El criterio de valoración principal del estudio será el tiempo transcurrido hasta el primer episodio de la combinación de muerte de origen CV u hospitalización por IC. Este criterio de valoración integra los componentes específicos de la causa de muerte de origen CV y hospitalización por IC y es el criterio de valoración principal más utilizado en los ensayos de fase III recientes sobre la ICFEd. Los sujetos sin hospitalización por IC o muerte de origen CV en el momento del análisis serán objeto de censura estadística en el momento
    de la muerte de origen no CV o de la última información disponible en el caso de los que sigan vivos en el momento del análisis.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Effort will be made to follow-up subjects that prematurely stop study medication to collect at least information for the primary endpoint. The time point of final analysis will be based on number of CV deaths. In addition to the final analysis, an interim analysis for efficacy is planned at the time when approximately 75% of the planned number of CV death events are observed and the median follow up time is at least 10 months. At the interim analysis the primary composite endpoint of time to CV death or HF hospitalization and its component time to CV death will be tested. A futility analysis will be performed with the option to terminate the study early if it is determined at the time of analysis that the study is unlikely to demonstrate the efficacy of vericiguat on the primary endpoint
    Se hará un seguimiento de los sujetos que paren de forma anticipada la medicación del ensayo , para recoger información relativa al criterio de valoración principal. El momento del análisis final se determinará basado en el número de episodios de muerte de origen cardiovascular. Un análisis intermedio de eficacia está planeado en el momento en que se observe aproximadamente el 75% del número planeado de episodios de muerte de origen CV y la media de tiempo de seguimiento sea al menos 10 meses. Hay previsto un análisis de la inutilidad con la opción de valorar la finalización prematura del estudio si se determina en el momento del análisis que el estudio no es capaz de demostrar la eficacia de vericiguat como criterio principal de valoración.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The secondary study endpoints are:
    • Components of the primary composite endpoint:
    - Time to CV death
    - Time to first HF hospitalization
    • Time to total HF hospitalizations (first and recurrent)
    • Time to first occurrence of the composite of all-cause mortality or HF hospitalization
    • Time to all-cause mortality
    The secondary study endpoints are: Los objetivos secundarios son:
    • Componentes del principal objetivo combinado:
    - Tiempo hasta muerte de origen CV.
    - Tiempo transcurrido hasta la primera hospitalización por IC.
    • El tiempo transcurrido hasta el total de hospitalizaciones por IC (primera y recurrentes)
    • El tiempo transcurrido hasta el primer episodio de la combinación de muerte por cualquier causa u hospitalización por IC.
    • Tiempo transcurrido hasta la muerte por cualquier causa.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Analogous to the analysis of the primary endpoint, the analysis of the secondary efficacy endpoints will be performed under the intention to treat principle. All subjects randomized will be included in the analysis. Subjects will be analyzed as randomized.
    In addition to the final study analyses, at the efficacy interim analysis the primary endpoint and the secondary endpoint of time to CV death will be tested. The study can only be terminated early for success if both the primary endpoint and the CV death endpoint are statistically significant based on the pre-specified interim analysis boundaries.
    Similar al análisis del objetivo principal, el análisis de los objetivos secundarios de eficacia será realizado bajo la intención del principio tratado. Todos los sujetos randomizados será incluidos en el análisis. Los sujetos serán analizados como randomizados.
    En adición al análisis del estudio final , en el análisis de eficacia intermedia el objetivo principal y secundario de tiempo transcurrido hasta la muerte de origen CV será evaluado. El estudio podrá solo terminar de forma anticipada tras el éxito si ambos, objetivo principal de valoración y el objetivo de la muerte de origen CV sean estadísticamente significativos basado en los límites pre-especificados del análisis intermedio.
