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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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
    To evaluate the superiority of oral BDP over placebo in reducing FCP levels below 100 μg/g after 4 weeks of treatment in patients with clinical remission and at risk of relapse* who are receiving 5-ASA therapy.)
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical trial was conducted in accordance with the protocol, the principles established in the revised version of the Declaration of Helsinki regarding medical research in humans (64 General Assembly, Fortaleza, Brazil, 2013), and the Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) for Good Clinical Practice 1996. Likewise, it was carried out in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements, in particular Royal Decree 1090/2015 and Regulation (EU) 536/2014, regulating clinical trials with medicinal products in Spain and the European Union, respectively, and Law 14/2007, on biomedical research. The study started once approval was available from the CREC, as well as from the Spanish Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices (AEMPS). Each patient invited to participate in the study was given a written document called the “Patient Information Sheet”, which contained the relevant and necessary information about the nature of the study, its objectives and procedures, the potential benefits and risks for the patient, as well as the guarantee of personal data protection. This document reflected the voluntary nature of patient participation in the study, and fully and unequivocally indicated the possibility of refusing to participate and of withdrawing consent at any time and for any reason, without having to justify the decision, and without the decision affecting his/her subsequent medical treatment and follow-up, or his/her relationship with the treating physician.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: According to the protocol, 16 patients obtained fecal calprotectin values < 100 ug/g after 4 weeks of treatment and therefore completed the study and did not initiate part II.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    07 Nov 2017
    Extension of 3 months in the follow-up of patients in order to assess whether the clinical benefit is maintained over time, as well as to determine disease relapses (if any).
    12 Feb 2018
    In order to facilitate patient recruitment, the decision is made to: - Remove inclusion criterion 4. - Extend the time period between Visits 1 and 2, adjusting more realistically to the times required to obtain the results of the FCP test. - Modify inclusion criterion 5 by extending the time period in which an available FCP value is required in the patient clinical history to 60 days.
    19 Nov 2018
    Addition of 4 sites: - Hospital Universitario Josep Trueta de Girona - Complejo Hospitalario de Ferrol - Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia - Hospital Parc Taulí
    03 Mar 2020
    The following modifications are made to facilitate recruitment and to better adapt to clinical practice at the sites: - Only the FCP levels of the central laboratory are considered. - Patients receiving thiopurines (azathioprine and mercaptopurine) are accepted. - Addition of sites. In addition, corrections of errata and administrative changes are made

    Interruptions (globally)
