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.

    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Drug concentration measurements and Pharmacokinetics (PK) substudy:
    PK sampling will be done from a limited number of randomised patients (approx 1650) and at sites in pre-selected countries only. Pre-dose blood samples will be collected at Visit 4 and between 22 to 26 h after the most recent drug intake, to determine plasma empagliflozin trough concentrations. These samples will serve to determine steady state trough concentrations of empagliflozin.
    Optional Biobanking sub-study requiring samples to be collected at Visit
    2, 4 and 8 (plasma, serum, urine) and Visit 2 (DNA).
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria

A historical LVEF may be used if it was measured within 6 months prior to visit 1, and more than 90 days after any myocardial infarction (as defined in exclusion criterion No.1) or the
    LVEF may be measured after study consent has been obtained. The LVEF
    must be documented in an official report prior to randomization.
    - Elevated N-terminal of the prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) > 300 pg/ml for patients without AF, OR > 900 pg/ml for patients with AF, analysed at the Central laboratory at Visit 1
    - Patients must have at least one of the following evidence of HF:
    a) Structural heart disease (left atrial enlargement and/or left ventricular hypertrophy) documented by echocardiogram at Visit 1,
    OR
    b) Documented hospitalisation for HF (HHF) within 12 months prior to Visit 1
    - Oral diuretics, if prescribed to patient according to local guideline and discretion of the Investigator, should be stable for at least 1 week prior to Visit 2 (Randomisation)
    - eGFR (CKD-EPI)cr ≥ 20 mL/min/1.73m2 at Visit 1
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft surgery or other major cardiovascular surgery, stroke or TIA in past 90 days prior to Visit 1
    2. Heart transplant recipient or listed for heart transplant
    3. Implantation of cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) within 3 months prior to Visit 1
    4. Implanted cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT)
    5. Cardiomyopathy based on infiltrative diseases (e.g. amyloidosis), accumulation diseases, muscular dystrophies, cardiomyopathy with reversible causes, hypertrophic
    obstructive cardiomyopathy or known pericardial constriction
    6. Any severe valvular heart disease expected to lead to
    surgery during the trial in the Investigator’s opinion
    7. Acute decompensated HF requiring intravenous (i.v.) diuretics, i.v. inotropes or i.v. vasodilators, or left ventricular assist device within 1 week from discharge to Visit 1, and during screening period until Visit 2 (Randomisation)
    8. Atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter with a resting heart rate > 110 bpm documented by ECG at Screening
    9. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 180 mmHg at Visit 2. If SBP >150 mmHg and <180 mmHg at Visit 2, the patient should be receiving at least 3 antihypertensive drugs
    10. Symptomatic hypotension and/or a SBP < 100 mmHg at Visit 1 or Visit 2

    A: sustained eGFR (CKD-EPI)cr <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with baseline eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2
    B: sustained eGFR (CKD-EPI)cr <10 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with baseline eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2
    *An eGFR (CDK-EPI)cr reduction is considered sustained, if it is determined by two or more consecutive post-baseline central laboratory measurements separated by at least 30 days (first to last of the consecutive eGFR values). Chronic dialysis is defined as dialysis with a frequency of twice per week
    or more often for at least 90 days.

    - Time to first adjudicated HHF
    - Time to adjudicated CV death
    - Time to all-cause mortality
    - Time to onset of DM (defined as HbA1c ≥6.5% or as diagnosed by the Investigator) in patients with pre-DM defined as no history of DM and no HbA1c ≥6.5 before treatment, and a pre-treatment HbA1c value of ≥ 5.7 and <6.5
