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 ).

    Aminotransferase/Platelet Ratio Index (APRI)
    APRI is used to determine the likelihood of hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with hepatitis C. APRI is calculated from the level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) measured in a blood test (international units per liter [IU/L)] and platelet count (platelets/cubic millimeter) according to the following formula: APRI = [(AST/upper limit of the normal range (ULN) of AST) x 100] / Platelet count APRI scores of less than or equal to 1 have a good performance characteristic for excluding the presence of cirrhosis.

    End point title
    Percentage of Participants in the Modified Intention-to-Treat Population With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12) [1]
    End point description
    SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug. The 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was calculated using the Wilson's score method. The modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population includes all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug, excluding participants who did not achieve SVR12 for reasons other than virologic failure, such as missing SVR12 data (5 participants) or premature study drug discontinuation (3 participants). Efficacy was to be established if the lower bound of the 95%CI was greater than the threshold of 92.4%, based on the historical rate observed in glecaprevir/pibrentasvir registrational studies in treatment-naïve, non-cirrhotic patients (98.4%) minus a margin of 6%.

    End point timeframe

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Efficacy for the 8-week regimen in this single-group study was to be established by demonstrating similarity to the historical control regimen of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir administered for 8 weeks in treatment naïve non cirrhotic patients.

    SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the LLOQ (15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug. The intention-to-treat (ITT) population included all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. The 95% confidence interval was calculated using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. Efficacy was to be established if the lower bound of the 95%CI was greater than the threshold of 91.4%, based on the mITT threshold minus an expected 1% rate of non-virological SVR failures.
