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   7293   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) Female or male patients aged 18–75 years with a history of at least two years of tree pollen induced allergic rhinitis and/or allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with or without mild seasonal controlled allergic asthma
    2) Moderate/Severe Rhinoconjunctivitis defined according to ARIA guidelines (Brożek JL et al., 2016) and Retrospective Symptoms Score >12, as sum of the score (0-3) for each of the six nasal and conjuntival symptoms referred to the previous trees pollen season (range 0-18)
    3) Clinical sensitization to tree pollen. Patients with sensitization to perennial allergens like mites, cats and dogs may be included, in the case that these sensitizations are not clinically relevant during the evaluation season
    4) Positive clinical history of tree pollen, proven by:
    - the majority of clinical symptoms appearing during the appropriate season for tree,
    - specific IgE reactivity for Bet v1 (immuneCAP) ≥ 2 . (If IgE specific are performed before the inclusion in the study, at the moment of clinical diagnosis in the year 2018, can be used as screening data)
    - positive screening Skin Prick Test (wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm, negative control < 2 mm),
    5) Compliance and ability of the patient to complete a patient’s diary for self-evaluation of the symptoms, antisymptomatic medication and treatment compliance
    6) Signed and dated patient´s Informed Consent

    Special criteria for patients with co-sensitizations: for all patients with co-sensitizations all of the following inclusion criteria must be fulfilled:
    1) Patients do not suffer from typical symptoms against co-seasonally prevalent allergens
    2) Specific CAP-RAST results to co-seasonally prevalent allergens less than the CAP-RAST result to tree pollen (the difference has to be ≥ 1), the patients with co-seasonally prevalent allergens against animal dander must not be exposed to the specific allergen
    3) The result of the Skin Prick Test against co-seasonally prevalent allergens must be less than the result of the Skin Prick Test against birch / alder allergens
    1) Pazienti di entrambi i sessi e di età tra 18 e 75 anni con una storia di almeno 2 anni di rinite allergica da polline d’albero e/o rinocongiuntivite allergica con o senza asma allergico controllato lieve stagionale
    2) Rinocongiuntivite allergica da moderata/severa, definita in accordo alle guideline “ARIA” e Symptom Score retrospettivo >12 come somma del punteggio (0-3) per ognuno dei sei sintomi nasali e congiuntivali riferiti alla precedente stagione dei pollini d’albero (range 0-18).
    3) Sensibilizzazione clinica al polline d’albero. I pazienti con sensibilizzazione ad allergeni perenni come acari, gatti e cani possono essere inclusi nel caso in cui queste sensibilizzazioni non siano clinicamente rilevanti durante la stagione di valutazione.
    4) Storia clinica positiva al polline d’albero, provata da:
    - La maggioranza dei sintomi clinici che compaiono durante la stagione del polline d’albero,
    - Reattività delle IgE specifiche per Bet v1 (immunoCAP) ≥ 2. (Se le IgE specifiche sono state eseguite prima dell’inclusione nello studio, al momento della diagnosi clinica nell’anno 2018, possono essere usate come dati di screening)
    - Skin Prick Test positivo effettuato allo screening (diametro del pomfo ≥ 3 mm, controllo negativo < 2 mm),
    5) Compliance e capacità del paziente di completare il diario per l’autovalutazione dei sintomi e l’aderenza al trattamento e all’assunzione delle terapie antisintomatiche,
    6) Consenso Informato datato e firmato dal paziente

    Speciali criteri per pazienti con co-sensibilizzazione: per tutti i pazienti con co-sensibilizzazione tutti i criteri seguenti devono essere rispettati:
    1) I pazienti non soffrono di sintomi tipici contro allergeni prevalenti co-stagionali
    2) I risultati di CAP-RAST specifici agli allergeni prevalenti co-stagionali sono inferiori a risultati di CAP-RAST ai pollini di alberi (la differenza deve essere ≥ 1), i pazienti con allergeni prevalenti co-stagionali rispetto ai peli di animali non devono essere esposti all’allergene specifico
    3) Il risultato dello Skin Prick Test su allergeni prevalenti co-stagionali deve essere inferiore ai risultati dello Skin Prick Test sugli allergeni di betulla/ontano
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1) Simultaneous participation in other clinical trials;
    2) Clinically relevant hypersensitivity to any of the excipients used in LAIS Birch sublingual tablets or in placebo tablets (lactose monohydrate, cellulose microcrystalline, silica colloidal anhydrous and magnesium stearate);
    3) Previous immunotherapy with tree allergens or cross-reacting allergens within the last 5 years;
    4) Ongoing immunotherapy with any allergen;
    5) Patients being in any relationship or dependency with the sponsor and/or investigator;
    6) Other reasons contraindicating an inclusion into the trial according to the investigator’s estimation (e.g. poor compliance, inability of the patient to understand study documents and instructions);
    7) Existing or intended pregnancy, lactation and/or lack of adequate contraceptive protection;
    8) Patients for which the antiallergic or antiasthmatic treatment with the following drugs is contraindicated: local Levocabastine (eye), Loratadine (oral), Beclomethasone (nasal), Prednisone (oral)
