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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    chirurgico.
    La seguente evidenza storica sarà considerata sufficiente a stabilire la causa della
    sindrome di Cushing endogena come dovuta alla malattia di Cushing (ovvero, dipendente
    dall’ormone adrenocorticotropo [ACTH] di origine ipofisaria), nello specifico:

    OLTRE A
    Per tumori di = 6 mm rilevati mediante diagnostica per immagini:
    a) Gradiente centro:periferia della concentrazione plasmatica di ACTH misurata mediante
    cateterismo dei seni petrosi inferiori (Inferior petrosal sinus sampled, IPSS) di almeno
    2 prima del trattamento con ormone di rilascio della corticotropina
    (corticotropinreleasing hormone, CRH) o almeno 3 dopo CRH, OPPURE in assenza di IPSS:

    c) Altri test diagnostici adeguati. Tali cause devono essere discusse con il Medical
    Monitor e da questi esplicitamente approvate e occorre documentare i criteri diagnostici
    specifici usati per stabilire la diagnosi di CD.
    Per i restanti criteri di inclusione, fare riferimento alla sinossi per superamento del
    limite dei caratteri disponibili.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Proportion of subjects with loss of therapeutic response to levoketoconazole upon withdrawing to placebo compared with the proportion of subjects with loss of therapeutic response upon continuing
    treatment with levoketoconazole. Loss of therapeutic response (i.e. relapse) is inferred based on mUFC from of three 24-hour urinary free cortisol (UFC) measurements obtained at any visit from second through final Randomized Withdrawal Phase visits (RW1 through RW5 inclusive) when:
    (1) mUFC is above 1.5X the ULN of the central laboratory's reference range, OR
    (2) mUFC is more than 40% above the baseline (RW0) value, if the RW0 value is at or above the ULN (i.e. =1.0X ULN) , OR
    (3) an early rescue criterion is met, necessitating open-label therapy

    All subjects completing COR-2017-01 will be invited to participate in an open-label long-term extension study, during which detailed safety assessments will be made at 3-month intervals. The extension has no
    fixed duration, and we anticipate it remaining open for at least three years after it enrolls its first subject.
