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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    The primary objectives of this study were: • To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters during repeat dosing of 1.5 mg or 3.0 mg cytisine when administered as the commercial 25-day schedule. • To evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects (e.g., reduction in smoking) with repeat dosing of 1.5 mg or 3.0 mg cytisine when administered as the commercial 25-day schedule.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The informed consent forms used for the study comply with the Declaration of Helsinki and its updates and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Guidelines and have been approved by the Sponsor and the Investigator’s IRB/EC/REB. The Investigator explained the nature of the study and the treatment in such a manner that the patient was aware of his/her rights and responsibilities, as well as potential benefits and risks. Patients were informed that participation is voluntary and that they may withdraw from the study at any time, without prejudice to their current or future care. Documentation of the discussion and the date of informed consent was recorded in the patient’s medical record or a study/clinic chart. Patients, or their legally authorized representative, gave informed consent in writing prior to the performance of any protocol-specific procedure.

    Tobacco Craving Questionnaire - Short Form (TCQSF) Emotionality Score at Day -1
    The TCQ-SF is a 12-item questionnaire that assesses 4 components of tobacco craving: emotionality (3 items), expectancy (3 items), compulsivity (3 items) and purposefulness (3 items). Responses to each item are scored from 1 (strongly disagree) through 7 (strongly disagree). Component scores are defined as the sum of the scores within each component. The total score is defined as the sum of the 4 component scores. Emotionality scores may range from 3 to 21, with lower scores indicating weaker emotional signs of tobacco craving.

    End point description
    The TCQ-SF is a 12-item questionnaire that assesses 4 components of tobacco craving: emotionality (3 items), expectancy (3 items), compulsivity (3 items) and purposefulness (3 items). Responses to each item are scored from 1 (strongly disagree) through 7 (strongly disagree). Component scores are defined as the sum of the scores within each component. The total score is defined as the sum of the 4 component scores. Emotionality scores may range from 3 to 21, with lower scores indicating weaker emotional signs of tobacco craving.

    Change From Baseline Over Time in TCQ-SF Score: Total Score
    End point description
    The TCQ-SF is a 12-item questionnaire that assesses 4 components of tobacco craving: emotionality (3 items), expectancy (3 items), compulsivity (3 items) and purposefulness (3 items). Responses to each item are scored from 1 (strongly disagree) through 7 (strongly disagree). Component scores are defined as the sum of the scores within each component. The total score is defined as the sum of the 4 component scores. Total scores may range from 12 to 84, with lower scores indicating lower tobacco craving.

    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial subject administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as an AE that results in any of the following: results in death; is life-threatening; requires hospitalisation or prolongs existing inpatient’s hospitalisation; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; results in a congenital abnormality or birth defect; is an important medical event which requires medical intervention to prevent any of the above outcomes.TEAEs are defined as AEs not present prior to first administration of investigational product, or AEs present before first administration of investigational product that worsen after the participant receives the first dose of investigational product.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    21 Sep 2017
    The amendment was issued in line with recommendations made by the MHRA prior to authorization of the study. The recommendations included: Amendment of the inclusion criteria to remove subjects who used statins, thyroxine and antihypertensive drugs. Clarification that other medications listed in the Tabex SmPC (tuberculostatitics, cholinomimetics or anticholinesterase medicinal products, statins, or antihypertensive medicinal products) were not to be taken during the study and breast feeding was to be exclusionary. Additional vital sign assessments to be performed near expected Cmax while in the Clinical Unit and that ECGs may be performed at any time during study, if clinically indicated.
    08 Nov 2017
    This study-conduct change was issued to create adverts for use on Facebook, Google PPC and Instagram and in posters in order to aid recruitment for the study, particularly focusing on subjects aged >65. The study-conduct change was approved by the REC on 16 November 2017.
    16 Jan 2018
    This study-conduct change was issued to use additional Participant Identification Centers (Llandaff North Medical Centre, Llanrumney Medical Group) to aid the recruitment of subjects (aged >65) who smoked at least 10 cigarettes each day and would like to quit smoking. An application was also submitted to Research Permissions Wales for a study wide governance review. The study-conduct change was approved by REC on 16 February 2018.
