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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    The Sponsor will conduct Future Biomedical Research on specimens consented for future biomedical research during this clinical trial. This research may include genetic analyses (DNA), gene expression profiling (RNA), proteomics, metabolomics (serum, plasma) and/or the measurement of other analytes, depending on which specimens are consented for future biomedical research.
    The objective of collecting/retaining specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and/or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs/vaccines, and/or to ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug/vaccine at the correct time.
    Intensive Viral Kinetic Sub-study, a subgroup of the study population will be included in an intensive viral kinetic sub-study. The data of this substudy will be used to validate the existing viral dynamics model for MK-3682 And MK-8408. These subjects will have HCV RNA samples collected during Week 1 as described in the Study Flow Chart (Section 6.0) and in Table 11 (Intensive Viral Kinetic Week 1 Sampling Timepoints) of the protocol.
    El promotor realizará investigaciones biomédicas futuras con las muestras obtenidas para tal finalidad durante este ensayo clínico. Dichas investigaciones podrán incluir análisis genéticos (ADN), determinación de perfiles de expresión génica (ARN), proteómica, metabolómica (suero, plasma) y determinación de otros analitos, en función de las muestras que se obtengan para investigaciones biomédicas futuras.
    El objetivo de la obtención y conservación de muestras para investigaciones biomédicas futuras consiste en estudiar e identificar biomarcadores que proporcionen información a los científicos sobre las enfermedades y sus tratamientos. El objetivo último es utilizar tal información para desarrollar vacunas y fármacos más seguros y eficaces o para garantizar que los sujetos reciban la dosis correcta del fármaco o la vacuna adecuados en el momento preciso.
    Subestudio farmacocinético intensivo, un subgrupo de la población del estudio será incluido en el subestudio de farmacocinético intensiva. Los datos de este subestudio se utilizarán para validar el modelo dinámicos viral existente para el MK3682 y MK8408. A esto sujetos se les recogerá muestras de VHC ARN durante la semana 1 como se describe en el Diagrama de flujo del estudio (sección6.0) y en la Tabla 11 (Momentos de toma de muestras de Farmacocinética intensiva Semana 1) del protocolo
