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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    • To determine the pharmacokinetics of posaconazole (new solid oral and IV) given as prophylaxis to patients who are at risk for developing fungal infections after receiving immunosuppressive therapy for acute GVHD, (non)myeloablative or reduced intensity conditioning regimens for SCT, or remission induction chemotherapy for AML/MDS. • To determine the oral bioavailability and specific the impact of mucositis on changes in drug absorption or presystemic clearance.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study uses posaconazole, which is an antifungal agent licensed for prophylaxis as well treatment of invasive fungal infections. The dosages and clinical indications used in this trial are similar to the licensed dosages or lower; therefore no potential harmful risks are expected in this cohort. Furthermore, the study medication, posaconazole, given as antifungal prophylaxis is given on top of standard intensive diagnostic work-up to detect a fungal infection as soon as possible. The burden of the patient is identical to studies previously performed in the same cohort (voriconazole, anidulafungin and micafungin, all approved by the ethics committee). We strongly believe the burden for the patient as well as the risk for severe adverse events is reduced to an absolute minimum. The risk-classification is assessed as negligible to the patient population receiving study drug at the current regimens. The drug is licensed for the use investigated in this protocol. Safety data on the use of higher dose are published and very-well defined. There is no attributable risk for the application of the study protocol to the haematology patients at risk for fungal infections.
