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 compare the efficacy of RO7239361 to placebo in ambulatory boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In addition, the safety and tolerability of RO7239361 were assessed.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All study subjects and parents, guardians, or legally acceptable representatives were required to read and sign an Informed Consent Form.

    End point description
    The NSAA is a functional scale specifically designed for ambulant boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) that can provide information about motor function. The NSAA is a 17-item test of standing, ability to transition from lying to sitting, sitting to standing, and other mobility assessments. Each of the 17 items is evaluated on an ordinal scale of 0-2: 0 = unable to achieve independently, 1 = modified method but achieves goal independent of physical assistance from another, or 2 = normal with no obvious modification of activity. Total score range is 0 to 34. Higher scores reflect better performance. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population included all enrolled participants who received a randomization treatment assignment.

    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events. Safety population included all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of study therapy.
