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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To verify if the new treatment schemes
    proposed in arms 1-3 are able to improve the number of spontaneous pregnancies and pregnancies obtained by medically assisted
    procreation techniques (PMA) within 36 weeks from the beginning of the therapy in comparison with the control arm
    Verificare se i nuovi protocolli terapeutici proposti nei bracci 1-3 sono in grado di migliorare il numero
    di gravidanze spontanee e di gravidanze ottenute mediante tecniche di procreazione medicalmente assistita (PMA) entro 36
    settimane dall’inizio del trattamento rispetto al braccio controllo con terapia standard.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To verify, as a result of the different
    treatment schemes with FSH, at 12 and 24 weeks of therapy and at the 36th week (follow-up), the following changes: 1. Increased
    plasma concentrations of FSH; 2. If at 12 weeks the subjects treated with 300 IU, 3 times a week have on average a Total Motile
    Sperm (TMS) higher than that of the subjects treated with a lower dosage (150 IU, 3 times a week) (subjects arm 3 vs arm 1, 2 and
    control); 3. At 24 weeks of treatment which of the 4 schemes has a better outcome in terms of average TMS increase and if this
    result is higher than the standard one; 4. After 12 weeks after the suspension of treatment, which of the 4 schemes shows an
    average of less decrease in TMS and which shows better performance than the standard scheme. 5. Improvement of other seminal
    parameters (such as morphology and viability).
    Verificare, a seguito dei diversi schemi di trattamento con FSH, a 12 e 24 settimane di terapia e alla
    36° settimana (follow-up): 1. Aumento delle concentrazioni plasmatiche di FSH; 2. Se a 12 settimane i soggetti trattati con 300 UI,
    3 volte la settimana presentano in media un numero di spermatozoi mobili (TMS) superiore a quello dei soggetti trattati con un
    dosaggio inferiore (150 UI, 3 volte la settimana) (soggetti braccio 3 vs braccio 1,2 e controllo); 3. A 24 settimane di trattamento
    quale dei 4 schemi presenta un esito migliore in termini di incremento medio di TMS e se tale esito risulti superiore a quello
    standard; 4.Dopo 12 settimane dalla sospensione del trattamento quale dei 4 schemi presenta in media un minore decremento di
    TMS e quale presenta performance migliori rispetto allo schema standard. 5. Miglioramento di altri parametri seminali (quali
    morfologia e vitalità)

    TMS e quale presenta performance migliori rispetto allo schema standard.; Verificare, a seguito dei diversi schemi di trattamento con FSH, a 12 e 24 settimane di terapia e alla

    At the end of the study, infertile patients, which showed no hormonal and systemic problems associated with infertility, will be re assigned to the general practitioner.
    For patients who, because of testiculopathy, have endocrine-metabolic risk factors, there is a follow-up, at the beginning every six months and then yearly, already provided for normal clinical practice.
    Alla fine dello studio, i pazienti infertili che non hanno evidenziato problemi ormonali e sistemici associati all’infertilità saranno riaffidati al medico di medicina generale.
    Per i pazienti che a causa della testicolopatia presentano fattori di rischio endocrino-metabolici è previsto un follow-up all’inizio semestrale e successivamente annuale già previsto dalla normale pratica clinica del nostro centro.
