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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The hypothesis under investigation is that antidepressant drugs with different pharmacodynamic profile in comparison with the genetics of the patients are associated with a different risk of weight gain during antidepressant treatment and are associated with a different impact on the cognitive performance of MDD patients.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Not applicable
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Patients will be included if: 1) a signed informed consent is present, the patient is informed and willing
    to participate in the study; 2) patients are older than 18 year; 3) patients do not meet the contraindications described in exclusion criterias
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Severe Axis II and Axis III comorbidities, non-compliance, non-adherence, drug abuse or dependence are first line exclusion criteria. Other than MDD as a primary diagnosis is an exclusion criterion. Refuse to sign the inform consent for the present protocol is an exclusion criteria.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary end point for all patients are to bring them to remission of their major depression disorder. As such at least a 50% reduction in the patients initial HAMD-17 score or a totalt score below 6.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Initially a HAMD-17 score is measured 14th days after medicine administration, thereafter 1 month 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th month after initiation of the protocol.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Weight gain and cognitive preformances are mearly observed and not a treatment goal.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Endpoints as weight gain, cognition are likewise measured 14th days after medicine administration, thereafter 1 month 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th month after initiation of the protocol. The genetic blood sample is taken during the protocol trial and analyzed in batches at Vejle Hospital – Genetics Department.
