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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Primary Objective - To explore the pharmacodynamics of ICVT comprised of digoxin and furosemide (dual agent), digoxin (single agent), furosemide (single agent) in patients with AK. - To evaluate clinical efficacy of ICVT comprised of digoxin and furosemide (dual agent), digoxin (single agent), furosemide (single agent), and vehicle gel. Secondary Objectives - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ICVT comprised of digoxin and furosemide (dualagent), digoxin (single agent), furosemide (single agent).
    Protection of trial subjects
    CLS003 consists of a combination of the active substances digoxin and furosemide. The cardiac glycoside digoxin and the loop diuretic furosemide are currently market registered drugs for various indications e.g. heart failure / atrium fibrillation and hypertension, respectively. The formulations on the market comprise oral and parenteral route of administration leading to high systemic exposure to both drugs. Consequently, there is a vast amount of pre-clinical and clinical experience with these mechanisms of action. Therefore, drugs of this class can be administered safely to healthy volunteers and patients in a topical formulation.
    Background therapy
    We hypothesized that topical ionic contra-viral therapy, comprised of digoxin (0.125%) and furosemide (0.125%), could serve as a potential treatment for HPV-mediated and associated diseases. The ionic properties of digoxin and furosemide interact with the cell membrane ion cotransporters Na+/K+-ATPase and Na+-K+-2Cl- co-transporter-1 and thereby inhibit the K+ influx on which DNA viruses rely for replication.
    Evidence for comparator
    Vehicle gel with identical appearance will serve as placebo.
