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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Male and female patients, aged 50–75 years;
    2. Patients affected by knee osteoarthritis (OA), as defined by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) clinical and radiographic criteria for OA of the knee, and meeting the following conditions:
    - Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 2 to 3 severity OA of the knee with presence of osteophytes determined from X-rays of the knee obtained within 6 months from the Screening visit; i.e. in the tibio-femoral compartment of the target knee with at least 1 osteophyte and measurable joint space, as diagnosed by standard X-rays (anterior-posterior view [weight bearing extension or semi-flexion] and lateral). In the case that a patient has not a valid X-ray within 6 months prior to Screening, the exam is to be performed during the screening period;
    - Patients suffering from OA symptoms of the target knee for at least 6 months prior to the Screening visit. Note: patients with bilateral OA of the knee will be allowed as long as they can differentiate pain in the target knee, do not need to use analgesics for treatment of their contralateral knee, and do not expect to receive treatment of the contralateral knee during the study. In the case that both knees are eligible for the study based on pain intensity, the knee with the greater Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Score at rest will be selected as the target knee joint as long as the contralateral knee OA will not exclude the patient from the study and all other entry criteria are satisfied. If one knee is ineligible for the study, the eligible knee will be selected as the target knee as long as the contralateral (ineligible) knee do not exclude the patient from the study and all other entry criteria are met;
    3. Patients with spontaneous pain at the target knee of moderate to moderately severe intensity, defined as a score =40 mm and = 80 mm at the screening visit in pain at rest, as measured by means of a 100 mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in the WOMAC pain subscale. This is to be confirmed at the baseline visit;
    4. Patients able to read and understand the language and content of the study material, understand the requirements for follow-up visits, willing to provide information at the scheduled evaluations and willing and able to comply with the study requirements;
    5. Patients having discontinued use of all systemic analgesic/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) therapy prior to the screening visit and agree not to resume them during study. Note: paracetamol will be provided to patients as rescue medication;
    6. If female of child-bearing potential, must have a negative urine pregnancy test at the screening visit and use a reliable form of contraception for a least 1 month prior to Screening and throughout the study. Note: to be considered females of non-child-bearing potential, females must be surgically sterile or postmenopausal as documented in medical history for at least 1 year. Highly effective birth control methods include: combined hormonal contraception (containing estrogens and progestogen) associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal); progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable); intrauterine device (IUD); intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS); bilateral tubal occlusion; vasectomised partner; sexual abstinence*;
    7. Patients having undergone the informed consent process and having signed an approved consent form.
    1. Pazienti maschi e femmine di età compresa tra i 50 e i 75 anni;
    2. Pazienti affetti da osteoartrosi del ginocchio (OA), come da definizione dei criteri clinici e radiografici dell’American College of Rheumatology (ACR) per l’OA del ginocchio, e che soddisfano le seguenti condizioni:
    - OA del ginocchio con gravità da 2 a 3 gradi di Kellgren-Lawrence con presenza di osteofiti determinati dalla radiografia del ginocchio ottenuta entro 6 mesi dalla visita di screening, cioè nel compartimento tibio-femorale del ginocchio bersaglio con almeno 1 osteofita e spazio articolare misurabile, come diagnosticato dalla radiografia standard (vista anteriore-posteriore [estensione o semiflessione in carico] e laterale). Nel caso in cui un paziente non abbia una radiografia valida realizzata nei 6 mesi precedenti lo screening, l’esame deve essere eseguito durante il periodo dello screening;
    - Pazienti affetti da sintomi di OA del ginocchio bersaglio per almeno 6 mesi prima della visita di screening. Nota: pazienti con OA bilaterale del ginocchio saranno ammessi a condizione che siano in grado di differenziare il dolore nel ginocchio bersaglio, non abbiano bisogno di utilizzare analgesici per il trattamento del loro ginocchio controlaterale, e non si aspettino di ricevere un trattamento del ginocchio controlaterale durante lo studio. Nel caso in cui entrambe le ginocchia siano idonee per lo studio sulla base dell’intensità del dolore, il ginocchio con il maggiore punteggio Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) sul dolore a riposo sarà selezionato come articolazione del ginocchio target, a condizione che l’OA del ginocchio controlaterale non escluda il paziente dallo studio e tutti gli altri criteri di ammissione siano soddisfatti. Nel caso in cui un ginocchio non sia idoneo per lo studio, il ginocchio idoneo sarà selezionato come ginocchio target, a condizione che il ginocchio controlaterale (non idoneo) non escluda il paziente dallo studio e tutti gli altri criteri di ammissione siano soddisfatti;
    3. Pazienti con dolore spontaneo al ginocchio bersaglio di intensità da moderata a moderatamente grave, definito con un punteggio = 40 mm e = 80 mm alla visita di screening del dolore a riposo, misurato per mezzo di una scala analogica visiva (VAS) da 100 mm nella subscala WOMAC del dolore. Ciò deve essere confermato alla visita basale;
    4. Pazienti in grado di leggere e comprendere la lingua e il contenuto del materiale di studio, di comprendere i requisiti per le visite di follow-up, di fornire informazioni durante le valutazioni programmate e di soddisfare i requisiti dello studio;
    5. Pazienti che hanno interrotto l’uso di tutti i farmaci analgesici/antinfiammatori non steroidei (FANS) sistemici prima della visita di screening e accettano di non riprenderli durante lo studio. Nota: il paracetamolo sarà somministrato ai pazienti come farmaco di emergenza;
    6. Se la femmina è in età fertile, deve presentare un test di gravidanza delle urine negativo durante la visita di screening e usare un metodo contraccettivo affidabile per almeno 1 mese prima dello screening e per tutta la durata dello studio. Nota: per essere considerate femmine non in età fertile, le femmine devono essere chirurgicamente sterili o in postmenopausa, come documentato nell’anamnesi da almeno 1 anno. I metodi contraccettivi altamente efficaci includono: contraccezione ormonale combinata (contenente estrogeni e progestinici) associata ad inibizione dell’ovulazione (orale, intravaginale, transdermica); contraccezione ormonale solo progestinica associata ad inibizione dell’ovulazione (orale, iniettabile, impiantabile); dispositivo intrauterino (IUD); sistema intrauterino con rilascio ormonale (IUS); occlusione bilaterale delle tube; partner vasectomizzato; astinenza sessuale*;
    7. Pazienti che sono stati sottoposti alla procedura di consenso informato e che hanno firmato un modulo di consenso approvato.
