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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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.

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    1- OCT Substudy : This sub-study explores the concept of using OCT as a structural biomarker of disease development in MS patients. The goal of this exploratory sub-study is to investigate the axonal degeneration in subjects enrolled
    into the trial, by measuring the RNFL thickness with OCT.
    The three objectives of this exploratory sub-study are:
    -To describe the axonal degeneration at 12 and 24 months compared to baseline
    -To describe the correlation of axonal degeneration with ‘traditional’ MS related assessments (e.g. MRI, EDSS…)
    -To describe changes in RNFL thinning over time

    2- DTI and fMRI Sub-study: This sub-study explores the concept of using DTI and fMRI as a structural biomarker of disease
    that are specific for brain tissue injury and repair.
    The goal of this exploratory sub-study is to investigate the brain structural and functional changes in subjects enrolled into the trial, by measuring DTI and fMRI over time.
    The three objectives of this exploratory sub-study are:
    -To describe the changes in DTI and fMRI at 12 and 24 months compared to baseline
    -To describe the correlation of DTI and fMRI with ‘traditional’ MS related assessments (e.g. MRI, EDSS…)
    - To describe changes in DTI and fMRI over time

    3 CSF Biomarker Sub-study: Validated biomarkers will help to define an optimal cladribine treatment response in MS and thus be of considerable value for taking treatment decisions and ensuring continued benefit from cladribine therapy. The candidate biomarkers have been selected on basis of evidences from literature.
    The goal of this exploratory sub-study is to investigate the surrogate marker in subjects enrolled into the
    trial, by measuring CSF biomarkers over time.
    The objectives of this exploratory sub-study are:
    -To describe the changes in CSF biomarkers at 12 and 24 months compared to baseline
    - To describe the correlation of biomarkers with ‘traditional’ MS related assessments (e.g. MRI, EDSS…)
    - To describe changes in biomarker over time

    4- Blood Biomarker Sub-study
    The goal of this exploratory sub-study is to investigate the surrogate marker in patients enrolled into the trial, by measuring blood biomarkers over time.
    The objectives of this exploratory sub-study are:
    -To describe changes in biomarker over time
    -To describe the correlation of biomarkers with ‘traditional’ MS related assessments (e.g. MRI, EDSS)
