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   44196   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical Moxidex for the treatment of subjects with acute otitis media with tympanostomy tubes (AOMT).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Prior to the start of the study, the study protocol, the informed consent and assent documents, patient instruction sheets, the Investigator’s Brochure, as well as any advertising materials used to recruit patients were submitted to institutional review boards (IRBs) and independent ethics committees (IECs). The IRB/IECs reviewed all documents and approved required documents; copies of the approval letters were provided to Alcon. Consistent with both the IRB/IEC’s requirements and all applicable regulations, the Investigators periodically provided study updates to the IRB/IEC. A patient or parent/legal guardian (if necessary, a legally authorized representative) provided informed consent, and children signed an approved assent form when appropriate. This study was conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    Clinical cure was attained if the clinical response was resolved/cured (ie, absence of otorrhea) as evaluated by the Investigator at the end-of-therapy (EOT) visit. Reported as a percentage of subjects. This analysis population includes all subjects in the ITT population who were culture positive on Day 1 (Modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT) Analysis Set). Due to the study being cancelled, no statistical testing was performed.

    Microbiological success was defined as eradication of pre-therapy pathogens at Day 8 (EOT). A subject with no clinical signs of acute otitis media with otorrhea in tympanostomy tubes (AOMT) (i.e. clinical response was resolved/cured) and presumed eradication of pre-therapy pathogens was considered a microbiological success.
