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   44189   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess the proportion of patients in each treatment arm with a satisfactory clinical response as defined by a composite primary endpoint at Week 24.
    Valutare la percentuale di pazienti in ogni braccio di trattamento con una risposta clinica soddisfacente, definita come un endpoint primario composito alla settimana 24
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To demonstrate safety and clinical effect at Week 24 indicated by change in 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), World Health Organization Functional Class (WHO FC) and clinical worsening from baseline in each treatment arm.
    Dimostrare la sicurezza e l'efficacia clinica alla settimana 24 indicata dal cambiamento del test del cammino in 6 minuti (6MWD), del valore del frammento N-terminale del propeptide natriuretico di tipo B (NT-proBNP), della classe funzionale dell'OMS (CF OMS) e dal peggioramento clinico dal momento iniziale in ogni braccio di trattamento.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Male and female patients aged 18 to 75 years.
    2. Patients with symptomatic PAH with a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) > 400 dyn*sec*cm-5, mean pulmonary artery pressure = 25 mmHg, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) = 15 mmHg as assessed by the most recent right heart catheterization (RHC) from medical history within 12 months prior to screening to confirm the diagnosis. Alternatively, PCWP can be replaced by left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (= 15 mmHg).

    a. Idiopathic
    b. Hereditary
    c. Drug and toxin induced PAH

Adequate contraception is defined as any combination of at least 2 effective methods of birth control, of which at least 1 is a physical barrier (e.g. condom with hormonal contraception like implants or combined oral contraceptives, condom with intrauterine devices). This applies beginning with signing of the informed consent form until 30 (+5) days after the last administration of study drug.
