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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    A single blood sample will be obtained from subjects who agree to participate in genotyping evaluation of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), if a separate informed consent is signed by the subject or by a legally acceptable representative. The blood sample may be collected any time after eligibility for randomization and continued participation in the study has been confirmed. A volume of approximately 10 mL is to be collected and immediately stored under frozen conditions (placed on dry ice) prior to shipment. Samples should then be shipped frozen (on dry ice) to the central laboratory (Covance) on the day of collection where they will be stored at -70°C. Samples will be destroyed at the end of the study.
    Se obtendrá una única muestra de sangre de los sujetos que acepten participar en la evaluación del genotipado de la apolipoproteína E (ApoE), si el sujeto o un representante legalmente aceptable firman un consentimiento informado por separado. La muestra de sangre se puede tomar en cualquier momento después de la elegibilidad para la aleatorización y se ha confirmado la continuación de la participación en el estudio. Se debe recoger un volumen de aproximadamente 10 ml y almacenar inmediatamente en condiciones de congelación (colocar en hielo seco) antes del envío. Las muestras deben enviarse congeladas (en hielo seco) al laboratorio central (Covance) el día de la recolección, donde se almacenarán a -70 ° C. Las muestras serán destruidas al final del estudio
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Early AD, encompassing probable AD and mild cognitive impairment due to AD (MCI-AD) based on 2011 National Institute on Aging (NIA)/ Alzheimer’s Association (AA) criteria
    • All cause dementia and probably AD (probably AD)
    In brief, subjects with probable AD dementia must have insidious onset, worsening impairment in at least two cognitive areas (learning and recall, language, executive function, visuospatial skills), sufficient to significantly interfere with work or usual activities, that is not explained by delirium, drugs, major psychiatric disorder, medical illness, cerebrovascular disease, other forms of dementia, or neurological disorder. The accuracy of the diagnosis will be confirmed independently.
    OR
    •MCI-AD
    In subjects with MCI-AD, there should be evidence of concern about a change in cognition, in comparison with the person’s previous level verified by a knowledgeable informant or clinician. There should also be evidence of lower performance in episodic memory than would be expected for the subject’s age and educational background (typically 1 to 1.5 standard deviations below the mean). Other mild cognitive deficits may also be present, but there must be preservation of independence in functional abilities. Subjects should not meet the criteria for dementia. The cognitive changes must be mild and there must be no evidence of a significant impairment in social or occupational functioning. Impairments must not be explained by delirium, drugs, major psychiatric disorder, medical illness, cerebrovascular disease, other forms of dementia, or neurological disorder.

    • Post-menopausal for at least 1 year
    • Using adequate contraception (a barrier method [such as condom, diaphragm or cervical/vault cap] with spermicidal foam, gel, film, cream, or suppository; intrauterine device [IUD] or system, or oral or long- acting injected or implanted hormonal contraceptives for at least 90 days prior to Baseline; or vasectomized partner [with the appropriate post-vasectomy documentation of the absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate]) or true abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject); subjects must be competent to use adequate contraception and to agree to continue to maintain adequate contraception throughout participation in the study (including up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug).

    7. Subject consistent with national law, is able to read, understand, and provide written informed consent in the designated language of the study site
    8. Has one or more identified adult study partner (i.e. a caregiver or informant) who meets the following criteria:
    • Either lives with the subject , or in the investigator’s opinion, the extent of contact is sufficient to provide meaningful assessment of changes in subject behavior and function over time and provide information on safety and tolerability (e.g., sees the subject on average for ≥1 hour/day ≥3 days/week)
    • Is willing to provide written informed consent for his/her own participation
    • Is able to read, understand, and speak the designated language at the study site
    • Agrees to accompany the subject to each study visit

    1.EA temprana, que abarca EA probable y deterioro cognitivo leve debido a EA (DCL-EA) según criterios de 2011 del National Institute on Aging (NIA)/Alzheimer’s Association (AA):
    •Demencia por todas las causas y probable EA
    En resumen, los sujetos con demencia por EA probable deben tener un inicio insidioso, un empeoramiento del deterioro en al menos 2 áreas cognitivas (aprendizaje y memoria, lenguaje, función ejecutiva, habilidades visuoespaciales), suficiente para interferir significativamente con el trabajo o las actividades habituales, que no se explica por delirio, fármacos, trastornos psiquiátricos mayores, enfermedades médicas, enfermedades cerebrovasculares, otras formas de demencia o trastornos neurológicos. La precisión del diagnóstico se confirmará independientemente.

    11.Deficiencia de glucosa-6-fosfato deshidrogenasa (G6PD) basada en la clasificación de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (<60 % de lo normal, es decir, <6,1 U/g hemoglobina [Hgb])
    12.Antecedentes de anomalía hematológica significativa o anomalía actual aguda o crónica clínicamente significativa, por ejemplo:
    •Antecedentes de hemoglobinopatía, síndrome mielodisplásico, anemia hemolítica o esplenectomía
    •Detección del valor de Hgb (confirmado en la repetición) por debajo del límite inferior apropiado para la edad/sexo del rango normal del laboratorio central
    Los sujetos en quienes el folato es <4,0 ng/ml pueden incorporarse al estudio siempre y cuando se inicie y mantenga aporte complementario de folato (aproximadamente 1 mg/día) durante la duración del estudio
    Los sujetos en los que la vitamina B12 es <150 pg/ml se pueden aceptar si el investigador confirma que no afecta al estado cognitivo del sujeto y que este se complementa según proceda antes del inicio del medicamento de estudio
    13.Valor anormal analítico de bioquímica sérica en la selección considerado clínicamente relevante por el investigador, p. ej., los que se considera que tienen potencial de aumentar el riesgo asociado con la participación en el estudio o la administración del producto en investigación y que, a juicio del investigador, harían que el sujeto sea inapropiado para entrar en este estudio. Asimismo, deben excluirse sujetos con cualquiera de las siguientes anomalías:
    •Aclaramiento de creatinina <30 ml/min en la selección, estimado por el laboratorio central de acuerdo con la ecuación de Cockcroft y Gault
    •Hormona estimulante de la tiroides (TSH, por sus siglas en inglés) por encima del rango normal de laboratorio (el sujeto puede ser tratado [si está clínicamente indicado de conformidad con las pruebas de laboratorio adicionales] y reevaluado después de 90 días)
