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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

Maximum tolerated dose is defined as the maximum dose of statin that can be taken on a regular basis without intolerable adverse events. Intolerance to any dose of any statin must be documented as historical AEs attributed to the statin in question in the source documentation and on the Medical History page of the electronic case report form (eCRF) (see APPENDIX B).
    8. Subjects not receiving statin must have documented evidence of intolerance to all doses of at least two different statins (see APPENDIX B).
    9. Subjects on lipid-lower therapies (such as a statin and/or ezetimibe) should be on a stable dose for ≥30 days before screening with no planned medication or dose change during study participation.
    10. Subjects must be willing and able to give informed consent before initiation of any study-related procedures and willing to comply with all required study procedures.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Subjects will be excluded from the study if any of the following exclusion criteria apply prior to randomization:
    1. Any uncontrolled or serious disease, or any medical or surgical condition, that may either interfere with participation in the clinical study, and/or put the subject at significant risk (according to investigator’s [or delegate] judgment) if he/she participates in the clinical study.
    2. An underlying known disease, or surgical, physical, or medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator (or delegate) might interfere with interpretation of the clinical study results.
    3. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV heart failure or last known left ventricular ejection fraction <25%.
    4. Cardiac arrhythmia within 3 months prior to randomization that is not controlled by medication or via ablation.
    5. Major adverse cardiovascular event within 3 months prior to randomization.
    6. Uncontrolled severe hypertension: systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg prior to randomization despite anti-hypertensive therapy.
    7. Active liver disease defined as any known current infectious, neoplastic, or metabolic pathology of the liver or unexplained elevations in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), >3x the upper limit of normal (ULN), or total bilirubin >2x ULN at screening confirmed by a repeat abnormal measurement at least 1 week apart.
    8. Severe concomitant noncardiovascular disease that carries the risk of reducing life expectancy to less than 2 years.
    9. History of malignancy that required surgery (excluding local and wide-local excision), radiation therapy and/or systemic therapy during the three years prior to randomization.
    10. Females who are pregnant or nursing, or who are of childbearing potential and unwilling to use at least two methods of highly effective contraception (failure rate less than 1% per year) (eg, combined oral contraceptives, barrier methods, approved contraceptive implant, long- term injectable contraception, or intrauterine device) for the entire duration of the study. Exemptions from this criterion:
    a. Women >2 years postmenopausal (defined as 1 year or longer since last menstrual period) AND more than 55 years of age.
    b. Postmenopausal women (as defined above) and less than 55 years of age with a negative pregnancy test within 24 hours of randomization.
    c. Women who are surgically sterilized at least 3 months prior to enrollment.
    11. Males who are unwilling to use an acceptable method of birth control during the entire study period (ie, condom with spermicide).
    12. Known history of alcohol and/or drug abuse within the last 5 years.
    13. Treatment with other investigational products or devices within 30 days or five half-lives of the screening visit, whichever is longer.
    14. Planned use of other investigational products or devices during the course of the study.
    15. Any condition that according to the investigator could interfere with the conduct of the study, such as but not limited to:
    a. Subjects who are unable to communicate or to cooperate with the investigator.
    b. Unable to understand the protocol requirements, instructions and study-related restrictions, the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study (including subjects whose cooperation is doubtful due to drug abuse or alcohol dependency).
    c. Unlikely to comply with the protocol requirements, instructions, and study-related restrictions (eg, uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits, and improbability of completing the study).
    d. Have any medical or surgical condition, which in the opinion of the investigator would put the subject at increased risk from participating in the study.
    e. Persons directly involved in the conduct of the study.
    16. Treatment (within 90 days of screening) with monoclonal antibodies directed towards PCSK9.

    Subjects excluded for any of the above reasons may not be re-screened for participation at any time even if the exclusion characteristic has changed.
