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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, trauma
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Psychiatry and Psychology [F] - Mental Disorders [F03]
    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 overall objective of this study is to use standard clinical measures to explore the safety and effects of open-label manualized MDMA-assisted psychotherapy with a flexible dose of MDMA in participants with severe PTSD, and to serve as an opportunity for supervision of therapy teams selected to conduct Phase 3 MDMA-assisted psychotherapy research.

    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for treatment of PTSD, as measured by the estimand of change in CAPS-5 Total Severity Score
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD in clinician-rated functional impairment, as measured by the mean change in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) item scores.

    Safety Objective
    The overall safety objective is to assess severity, incidence and frequency of AEs, AEs of Special Interest (AESIs), and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), concomitant medication use, suicidal ideation and behavior, and vital signs to support the package insert for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    An Open-Label, Phase 2, Multicenter, Feasibility Study of Manualized MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy with an optional fMRI sub-study Assessing Changes in Brain Activity in Subjects with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

    This sub-study to the MP18 protocol “An Open-Label, Multi-Site Phase 2 Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of Manualized MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for the Treatment of Severe Posttraumatic Stress Disorder" allows participants to participate in pre/post treatment imaging at participating investigational study sites.
    Study site and participants will follow all protocol procedures described in the main protocol, with the addition of imaging visits as described below.

    Implementation of sub-study
    All eligibility criteria from the main study protocol will apply, except for the following inclusion criteria:
    • Absence of Traumatic Brain Injury
    • Absence of metal in the head
    • PTSD must be of non-dissociative sub-type
    • Absence of claustrophobia

    Sub-Study Objectives & Evaluation
    The primary objective of this sub-study will be to explore possible biological correlates of treatment outcomes
    obtained from MDMA-assisted psychotherapy among participants with PTSD.
    • To investigate pre-post effects of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy on brain function and connectivity as measured by
    functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), including response to
    trauma-unrelated emotional stimuli (emotional faces), response to trauma symptom provocation (personal trauma
    narrative). The outcome variables will be compared between timepoints (Baseline scan and post-treatment scan).
    • To examine the relationship between fMRI outcome variables and the primary outcome variable, namely change in
    CAPS-5 Total Severity Score from Baseline to 14 weeks post Baseline
    • The outcome variables of MRS, namely glutamate and NAA concentration levels, will be assessed at specific voxels located in the fear circuitry system, including the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex. The outcome variables will be compared between time points (Baseline scan and post-treatment).
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Are at least 18 years old
    - Are fluent in speaking and reading the predominantly used or recognized language of the study site
    - Are able to swallow pills
    - Agree to have study visits video-recorded, including Experimental Sessions, Independent Rater assessments, and non-drug psychotherapy sessions
    - Must provide a contact (relative, spouse, close friend or other support person) who is willing and able to be reached by the investigators in the event of a participant becoming suicidal or unreachable
    - Must agree to inform the investigators within 48 hours of any medical treatments and procedures
    - Women of childbearing potential (i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile), must have a highly sensitive negative pregnancy test at study entry and prior to each Experimental Session, and must agree to use adequate birth control through 10 days after the last Experimental Session. Adequate birth control methods include intrauterine device (IUD), injected or implanted hormonal methods, abstinence, oral hormones plus a barrier contraception, vasectomized sole partner. Not of childbearing potential is defined as permanent sterilization or assigned male at birth.
    - Agree to the following lifestyle modifications: comply with requirements for fasting and refraining from certain medications prior to Experimental Sessions, not participate in any other interventional clinical trials during the duration of the study, remain overnight at the study site after each Experimental Session and be driven home after, and commit to medication dosing, therapy, and study procedures.
    - At Screening, meet DSM-5 criteria for current PTSD
    - May have well-controlled hypertension that has been successfully treated with anti-hypertensive medicines, if they pass additional screening to rule out underlying cardiovascular disease
    - May have asymptomatic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) that has previously undergone evaluation and treatment as needed
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Are not able to give adequate informed consent
    - Have any current problem which, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Monitor, might interfere with participation
    - Would present a serious risk to others as established through clinical interview and contact with treating psychiatrist
    - Require ongoing concomitant therapy with a psychiatric medication with exceptions described in Section 11.0: Concomitant Medications.
    - Weigh less than 48 kilograms (kg)
    - Are pregnant or nursing or are of childbearing potential and are not practicing an effective means of birth control.
