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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 evaluate the safety and tolerability of cilofexor in adults with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and consent/assent forms were submitted by each investigator to a duly constituted Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review and approval before study initiation. All revisions to the consent/assent forms (if applicable) after initial IEC/IRB approval were submitted by the investigator to the IEC/IRB for review and approval before implementation in accordance with regulatory requirements. This study was conducted in accordance with recognized international scientific and ethical standards, including but not limited to the International Conference on Harmonization guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) and the original principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Sep 2016
    • Duration of stable ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) use was increased from 6 months to 12 months prior to screening to ensure stability of UDCA-induced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) reductions. • Clarification was added that adults with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis should be excluded. • Additional visits were added for safety monitoring during the OLE phase. • New safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data from nonclinical studies were added. • The risk/benefit assessment was updated with data from a phase 1 study (GS-US-402-1851) reinforcing the positive benefit/risk ratio. • Magnetic resonance elastography was added as an exploratory measure of liver stiffness. • Inclusion criteria for platelet count, albumin, and creatinine clearance (CLcr) were revised to further ensure adults with advanced liver disease would not be enrolled. • Changes to restrictions on concomitant medications were made based on additional drug-drug interaction study data. • Guidelines for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) monitoring and study drug stopping rules were clarified, and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) testing was added. • Preclinical embryofetal toxicity data were added. Requirements for pregnancy testing and contraceptive use were updated.
    21 Dec 2016
    • Final toxicology data were added to support dosing of subjects beyond 12 weeks. • Inclusion criteria were revised to remove CLcr, since serum creatinine was a more appropriate criterion to use in this population. • Concomitant medication guidelines were clarified regarding timing of use of bile acid sequestrants. • Requirements for cirrhosis assessment at screening were clarified. • Frequency of pregnancy testing during the OLE phase was increased.
    09 Feb 2017
    • Elevated ALP as a criterion for close observation for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) was removed, since elevated ALP is one of the characteristics of PBC. Criteria for close observation were clarified.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    04 Sep 2019
    The study was terminated because of the availability of alternate therapies for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
