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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 efficacy of three different doses of Rivelin®-CLO patches in treating OLP lesions over 4 weeks of treatment assessed by change in ulcer area.
    Protection of trial subjects
    While patients were encouraged to complete the study, they had the right to discontinue from IMP or completely withdraw from the study at any time and for any reason without disclosing why and without having disadvantages. A genuine effort had to be made to determine the reason(s) why patient decided to discontinue IMP treatment or withdraw from the study, whenever possible.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    After having provided written informed consent, the patients underwent screening procedures. This could include a study biopsy in case OLP had not been histologically confirmed in the past. At the end of the screening period, eligible patients were randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups on Day 0 (Visit 2/Baseline).

    For the safety analysis all AEs occurring from first trial-related activity performed until the end of the trial had been recorded and were coded and sorted by MedDRA-System Organ Class (SOC) and preferred terms (PT).
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    In the safety analysis all AEs in the Safety Set (N=138) are displayed by treatment group. Multiple occurrences of AEs related to a particular SOC or PT, respectively, in the same patient count as one occurrence.
