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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the equivalence of efficacy of SB11 to Lucentis® in subjects with neovascular age-related macular degeneration
    Protection of trial subjects
    Any AE in the study eye which compromised the subject’s safety or well-being by ITV injection of IP at the Investigator’s discretion. The IPs were withheld until the event resolved. Such events in the study eye included, but were not limited to: - A decrease in BCVA of ≥ 30 letters compared with the last assessment of VA - An IOP of ≥ 30 mmHg - A retinal break Any significant change in the posterior pole (e.g., sub-retinal hemorrhage, macular hole, vitreous hemorrhage or opacity, retinal detachment, etc.) detected with fundus examination were confirmed and documented with FP and/or FA. Based on these FP and/or FA, the Investigator decided IP withholding. The images taken at unscheduled visits were not sent to the central reading center.

    This set consisted of all FAS subjects who had received the first IP injection at Week 0 (Day 1) and completed the procedures at Week 4 without any major protocol deviations that had an impact on the CST assessment. This PPS-CST was the primary analysis set for CST. Major protocol deviations that would lead to exclusion from this set were pre-defined prior to unmasking the treatment codes for analyses.
