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   44235   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7336   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.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    ‘Wear and tear’ arthritis (degenerative) affects the part of the spine in the neck (cervical), causing structural changes that compress and damage the spinal cord (myelopathy)
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Nervous System Diseases [C10]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The aim of this trial is to estimate the difference in the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) score and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) neck pain at 6 months after surgery between Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) patients randomised to Ibudilast and those randomised to placebo. The mJOA is a fully validated outcome assessment for function in DCM. The VAS is the most popular tool for the measurement of pain in DCM. The hypothesis is that Ibudilast improves neurological recovery following surgical decompression of DCM.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1) To compare the clinical efficacy of Ibudilast treatment at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, using a representative range of DCM outcome assessments

    The exploratory objectives include:
    1) To undertake a health economic evaluation of Ibudilast therapy
    2) To assess the bioavailability of Ibudilast in the CSF and blood.
    3) To assess the informal care burden of DCM
    4) To assess the potential of novel quantitative clinical assessments (Gait Laboratory)
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    1. Carer Quality of Life (QoL) (Optional):
    Objective: to assess the informal care burden of DCM
    Carers of trial subjects, as many as would like to be involved, will be asked to complete the CarerQOL self-assessment at baseline, preoperatively and 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively.

    The questionnaire will also include their relation to the study participant. The questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.


    2. Gait Lab (sub-study for Addenbrooke’s only):
    Objective: to assess the potential of gait laboratory as a novel quantitative clinical assessments
    Alongside their clinician-administered assessments, patients at Addenbrooke’s only will be invited to complete a formal, quantitative gait assessment. This involves walking across a pressure sensitive floor mat that will collect information about the steps, pressure, time elapsed, stride length and width. The assessment takes approximately 10 minutes and will be performed in the pre-operative visit and the 3 and 6 months post-operative visits. All Addenbrooke's trial participants will be invited to participate in this sub-study.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary outcome measures are the change in the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association Score (mJOA) and the change in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) neck pain between screening and 6 months post-operatively. The mJOA is an 18-point clinician administered scale (0 worst to 18 best), which evaluates motor dysfunction in upper and lower extremities, loss of sensation, and sphincter dysfunction. The VAS Neck pain is a 10cm horizontal line, on which a patient indicates their level of neck pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary outcome will be evaluated as the difference in these parameters between baseline (screening visit) and 6-months post-operatively (±21 days). These two parameters are also evaluated for exploratory purposes in the pre-operative, 3 months and 12 months follow-up visits. VAS neck pain is also evaluated for exploratory purposes at post-operative visit.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    1. Physical Summary Score (PSC) of the Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire: a well-recognised measure of patient physical health
    2. Mental Summary Score (MSC) of the Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire: a well-recognised measure of patient mental health
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    SF36 is evaluated at screening, pre-operative and then 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively
