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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a serious disease in terms of the incapacity it may produce in patients who suffer from it, accompanied by a consequent deterioration in their quality of life. Nowadays, there are only authorised treatments for exudative (wet) AMD. These treatments target the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) aiming to block it.Nowadays, there is no treatment for dry AMD.
    la degenerazione maculare senile (DMS) è una malattia grave per l’inabilità che può determinare nei pazienti affetti, e per il deterioramento della qualità della vita che ne consegue. Attualmente sono disponibili solo trattamenti autorizzati per la DMS essudativa (umida). Questi trattamenti agiscono sul fattore di crescita dell’endotelio vascolare (VEGF), con l’obiettivo di bloccarlo. Non esiste attualmente alcun trattamento per la DMS secca

    Valutare l’efficacia dopo 90 giorni da una singola iniezione intravitreale di etamsilato nel miglioramento dell’acuità visiva in pazienti con diagnosi di DMS secca.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the efficacy after 90 days of a single intravitreal injection of Etamsylate in structural changes of the retina associated to the AMD evaluating the number, localization, areaand volume of drusen.
    For those patients suffering from the most advanced form of the disease (geographical atrophy) to assess the changes in percentage of the area affected by geographical atrophy.
    To assess the efficacy after 90 and 180 days of a single intravitreal injection of Etamsylate in patient’s quality of life.
    To compare the results obtained in this clinical trial with an historic control group to assess the long-term efficacy of a single injection of intravitreal etamsylate.
    Valutare l’efficacia dopo 90 giorni da una singola iniezione intravitreale di etamsilato nelle alterazioni strutturali della retina associate alla DMS, valutando il numero, la localizzazione, l’area e il volume delle drusen.
    Per i pazienti affetti dalla forma più avanzata della malattia (atrofia geografica), valutare le variazioni nella percentuale dell’area interessata dall’atrofia geografica.
    Valutare l’efficacia dopo 90 e 180 giorni da una singola iniezione intravitreale di etamsilato nella qualità della vita del paziente.
    Confrontare i risultati ottenuti in questo studio clinico con un gruppo di controllo storico, per valutare l’efficacia a lungo termine di una singola iniezione di etamsilato intravitreale.
