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   43858   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Merck will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA (blood and tissue specimens collected during this clinical trial. Such research is for biomarker testing to address emergent questions not described elsewhere in the protocol (as part of the main trial) and will only be conducted on specimens from appropriately consented subjects. The objective of collecting specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and/or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs, and/or to ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug at the correct time.
    Meck llevará a cabo investigaciones biomédicas futuras (Sangre,y tejidos) con las muestras obtenidas de forma sistemática y específica durante este ensayo clínico. Estas investigaciones tendrán por objeto el análisis de biomarcadores para abordar aspectos nuevos que
    no se describen en otras partes del protocolo (como parte del ensayo principal) y solo se llevarán a cabo en muestras de los sujetos que hayan otorgado el consentimiento correspondiente. El objetivo de la obtención de muestras para investigación biomédica futura consiste en estudiar e
    identificar biomarcadores que proporcionen información a los científicos sobre las enfermedades y sus tratamientos. El objetivo último es utilizar tal información para desarrollar vacunas y fármacos más seguros y eficaces o para garantizar que los sujetos reciban la dosis correcta del fármaco o
    la vacuna adecuados en el momento preciso.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria

Presencia de una enfermedad autoinmunitaria activa que ha precisado tratamiento sistémico (es decir, fármacos modificadores de la enfermedad, corticoides o inmunodepresores) en los dos últimos años. El tratamiento de reposición (por ejemplo, tiroxina, insulina o corticoides en dosis fisiológicas por insuficiencia suprarrenal o hipofisaria) no se considera una forma de tratamiento sistémico y se permitirá su uso.

    17. Infección activa con necesidad de tratamiento sistémico.
    18. Antecedentes de infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). Nota: No es necesario realizar pruebas de VIH a menos que lo exijan las autoridades sanitarias locales.
    19. Antecedentes de infección por el virus de la hepatitis B (reactividad del antígeno de superficie del virus de la hepatitis B [HBsAg]) o de infección activa por el virus de la hepatitis C (definida como detección de ARN del virus de la hepatitis C [VHC] [cualitativo]).
    20. Antecedentes de tuberculosis activa (Bacillus tuberculosis).

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    - Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause
    - Progression-free Survival (PFS), defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first
    – Supervivencia Global (SG) definido como el tiempo transcurrido entre la aleatorización y la muerte por cualquier causa.
    - Supervivencia Sin Progresión (SSP) definido como el tiempo transcurrido entre la aleatorización y la primera progresión documentada de la enfermedad o la muerte por cualquier causa, lo que antes ocurra
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Overall survival (OS) = time from randomization to death due to any cause; Progression-free survival (PFS) = time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1 by (blinded independent central review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whicherver occurs first
    - Supervivencia Global (SG) = tiempo transcurrido entre la aleatorización y la muerte por cualquier causa; Supervivencia Sin Progresión (SSP) = tiempo transcurrido entre la aleatorización y la primera progresión documentada de la enfermedad conforme a los Criterios de evaluación de la respuesta en tumores sólidos, versión 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) (según una revisión central independiente y enmascarada (RCIE)), o la muerte por cualquier causa, lo que antes ocurra
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    - Objective response (OR), defined as Complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)
    - Duration of Response (DOR), defined as the time from first response (CR or PR) to subsequent disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
    - Respuesta objetiva (RO) definida como respuesta completa (RC) o parcial (RP).
    - Duración de la Respuesta (DR), definida como tiempo transcurrido entre la primera respuesta (RC o RP) y la progresión posterior de la enfermedad o la muerte por cualquier causa, lo que antes ocurra
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    - Objective Response Rate (ORR) = proportion of participants who have an overall response – complete response (CR) or partial response (PR);
    - Duration of Response (DOR) =time from first response (CR or PR) to subsequent disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
    - Tasa de respuestas objetivas (TRO) = Proporción de participantes que tienen un respuesta global - respuesta completa (RC) o parcial (RP) .
    - Duración de la respuesta (DR), definido como el tiempo entre la primera respuesta (RC o RP) y la progresión posterior de la enfermedad o la muerte por cualquier causa, lo que antes ocurra.
