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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The trial was conducted at 10 sites in India.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A washout period for a minimum of 72 hours for factor 8 (FVIII) containing products prior to collection of FVIII activity and FVIII inhibitor laboratory samples at visit 1 (screening) was done to ensure subject eligibility. Prior to visit 4 (end of trial), a washout of minimum 48 hours was done to avoid interference with the FVIII inhibitor assay

    Dosage and administration details
    Dosing for prophylaxis was according to the approved prescribing information. The recommended frequency of dosing could be either every second day or 3 times weekly, at a dose in the range of 20-50 IU/kg. Bleeds were treated with one or more turoctocog alfa intravenous (i.v.) bolus injections. The individual dose levels were decided by the investigator based on recommendations from the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH). Participants who underwent surgery were treated with turoctocog alfa according to WFH recommendations and the following guidance: Minor surgery; to maintain FVIII activity levels at 30−60 IU/dL.
