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.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The main objective is to demonstrate, from initial episode of MCNS in adults, once complete remission occurred, the efficacy of Rituximab (two injections separated by one week 375mg/m2, with definitive steroids withdrawal after 9 weeks of treatment) compared to the standard regimen of oral steroid alone (progressively tapered within 24 weeks) to prevent relapse after 12 months of follow-up.
    L’objectif principal est de démontrer dès l’épisode initial de SNLGM de l’adulte une fois la RC obtenue, l’efficacité du Rituximab (deux injections à une semaine d’intervalle à la dose de 375mg/m2 avec un arrêt définitif des corticoïdes après une durée totale de 9 semaines) comparativement au protocole classique de corticothérapie avec une décroissance progressive sur 24 semaines sur la réduction du risque de rechute après 12 mois de suivi.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives are to compare between the two arms:
    - The relapse rate (number of relapses per person-year) at 12 and 18 months after randomization
    - The time between randomization and relapse (with time points 12 and 18 months after randomization)
    - The type, frequency and the severity of adverse events and serious adverse events during 12 and 18 months
    - The treatment burden that will be assessed at Week-4 before randomization, one week and 16 weeks after randomization
    - The demographics, clinical and/or biological risk factors of relapse at 12 and 18 months follow-up.
    Les objectifs secondaires sont de comparer entre les deux bras :
    - Le taux de rechute (nombre de rechutes par personne-année) à 12 et 18 mois après la randomisation
    - Le temps entre la randomisation et la rechute (après 12 et 18 mois de suivi après la randomisation)
    - Le type, la fréquence et la sévérité des événements indésirables et des événements indésirables graves à 12 et 18 mois de suivi après randomisation
    - Le fardeau du traitement, qui sera évalué 4 semaines avant la randomisation (S-4) puis à une semaine (S1) et à 16 semaines (S16) après la randomisation.
    - Les facteurs démographiques, cliniques et / ou biologiques de la rechute à 12 et 18 mois de suivi.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    RIFIREINS trial will include an extensive B and T lymphocytes subpopulation monitoring with the aim to investigate the potential close relationship between lymphocyte subpopulation and treatment response.
    L'essai RIFIREINS inclura une surveillance étendue des sous-populations de lymphocytes B et T dans le but d'étudier la relation possible entre les sous-populations lymphocytaires et la réponse au traitement.
