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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Demonstration of superiority of 0.1% octenidine mouthwash (OML, “Octenidin Mundspüllösung”) to placebo in the inhibition of plaque formation
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was performed in accordance with the International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP, CPMP/ICH/135/95), the appropriate national regulations and the Declaration of Helsinki. Before any study-related procedures were performed, the investigator obtained written informed consent from all subjects. The investigator ensured that the subject was fully informed (verbally and in writing) about the aims, procedures, potential risks, discomforts, and expected benefits of the clinical study. The subject had ample time to ask questions and to decide whether or not to participate. Only subjects that met all study inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were entered in the study. Participation in the study was voluntary and all subjects had the right to withdraw from the clinical study at any time and for any reason without any disadvantages for their medical care.

    Primary: Total mean plaque index after 5 days of treatment at Visit 2

    		 Close Top of page
    End point title
    		 Total mean plaque index after 5 days of treatment at Visit 2 [1]
    End point description
    The thickness and extension of plaque along the gingival margin were assessed using the plaque index (PI) according to Silness and Löe, 1964. Evaluation of the PI was limited to “Ramfjord teeth” (16, 21, 24, 36, 41, 44 or their replacement teeth 17, 11, 25, 37, 31, 45). For each of the 4 surfaces a grade from 0 to 3 was given. The total mean PI was the sum of the individual grades divided by the number of investigated sites.

    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: Results of the statistical analysis could not be entered in the system. The superiority of OML over placebo in inhibiting plaque formation was demonstrated using the van Elteren test stratified by gingival status at Visit 1 and center (1-sided p-value <0.0001; point estimate -0.950 [median difference, OML minus placebo]).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    25 Jul 2017
    To comply with requests from the German competent authority, the protocol was amended (protocol Version 3.0) to include a more detailed description of the required contraception measures.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    23 Mar 2018
    The study was halted, since metallic (zinc) contaminants were found in a substance that was used for the solution of the study drug flavors. All study drug bottles at centers that were still recruiting subjects at this time were controlled for visible particles using the 4-eye principle, and if found, contaminated bottles were quarantined, and the center was supplied with new study drug. Study drug with no visible particles was considered safe. Patients who had already completed the study were informed about the study drug contamination.
