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   43873   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    1) To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cariprazine at a target dose of 3.0 mg/d compared with placebo in prevention of relapse in patients with bipolar I disorder whose current episode (i.e. index episode) is manic or depressive, with or without mixed features; 2) To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cariprazine at a target dose of 1.5 mg/d compared with placebo in prevention of relapse in patients with bipolar I disorder whose current episode (i.e. index episode) is manic or depressive, with or without mixed features who were initially stabilized on a target dose of 3.0 mg/d

    End point title
    Time to First Relapse of Any Mood Episode During the Double-blind Treatment Period
    End point description
    Relapse was defined as the occurrence of any 1 of the following: - Young Mania Rating Score (YMRS) total score ≥ 17 (range 0-60; higher score indicates a worse outcome); - Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale; (MADRS) total score ≥ 20 (range 0-60; higher score indicates more depressive symptoms); - Clinical Global Impression-Improvement scale (CGI-S) ≥ 4 (range from 1 [normal, not at all ill] to 7 [extremely ill]); - Initiation of additional psychiatric medication; - Psychiatric hospitalization; - Exacerbation of illness as judged by clinical impression of the Investigator. Time to first relapse (days) was calculated as the date of the first relapse - the date of randomization + 1. Participants who did not meet the relapse criteria were considered censored at the time of completion or discontinuation from the Double-Blind Treatment Period (DBTP) of the study. Percentiles (95% Confidence Intervals [CI]) are based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.
