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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary Safety and tolerability endpoints:
    • Safety and tolerability will be evaluated with reference to the following:Number of subjects (%) who discontinue the study
    • Number of subjects (%) who discontinue the study due to AE
    • Adverse Events (AE)
    • Physical and neurological examination findings
    • Vital signs assessments
    • Subjects compliance, prior and concomitant medication use
    • Hallucination item (1.2) of Movement Disorders Society – Unified Parkinson´s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS)

    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary safety analysis will be performed with the safety data set including all patients with the intake of at least one study drug and performing at least V 1. A safety analysis will be performed on all events and tolerability issues, as well as the hallucination item, orthostatic hypotension item, the day-time sleepiness item of Part I of MDS-UPDRS, and C-SSRS occurring through the overall course of the study.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary Efficacy endpoints:
    Long-term efficacy evaluations are the secondary objective of this study. Efficacy endpoints include changes from V 1 to the termination visit (V 4) in the following assessments:
    • Total and different parts of MDS-UPDRS
    • Different domains of MDS-UPDRS Part I
    • NMSS
    • HAD-S
    • PDQ-8
    • ESS
    • FSS
    • KPPS
    • QUIP-RS
    • CGI-I

    The change of MMSE and MoCA score values between the Screening Visit of the NMS-Nab Study (before the first intake of nabilone medication) and the termination visit of this study will be assessed as secondary efficacy endpoints.


    Exploratory Endpoints
    The change of the reaction time, attention span, and concentrativeness between Screening and Termination Visit of the randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, enriched enrolment randomized withdrawal study NMS-Nab and V 2 of this study as measured by the Eye-tracking examination will be an exploratory endpoint.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The secondary efficacy criterion will be measured as the change of all assessments between V 1 and month 6, except for the MoCA and MMSE (will be compared between the Screening visit of the precursory NMS-Nab study and the Termination Visit of this study).



    The exploratory end point will be measured at V 2 of this study and compared to the Screening and Termination Visit of the precursory NMS-Nab Study.
