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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    D.8 Information on Placebo
    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    C3 glomerulopathy
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    A chronic kidney disease due to complement activation
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Immune System Diseases [C20]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The aim of this project is to assess aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, as a novel treatment to block complement activation in the kidneys and thereby attenuate renal disease and stabilize or improve kidney function and compare it to the currently used treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) in patients with the complement-mediated renal disease C3 glomerulopathy.
    The primary objective is to assess the effect and safety of aliskiren on reducing systemic and local complement activation as indicated by a reduction of serum C3 during a cross-over study and serum C3 and complement deposition in renal biopsies during an extension study in patients with C3 glomerulopathy as compared to the currently used treatment with enalapril (ACEi).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the effect of aliskiren as compared to the currently used treatment with ACEi enalapril on: complement activation (such as serum C3a, C3d, C5a and related complement assays), proteinuria, kidney function, kidney biopsy findings, blood pressure, activation of the renin angiotensin system.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Children ≥ 6 years and adults.
    2. Initial diagnosis of Dense Deposit Disease and C3 glomerulonephritis confirmed by kidney biopsy obtained not more than 2 years before the first dose of the study drug.

    c. the patient if the patient is ≥ 18 years old

    5. Female subjects of childbearing potential must:
    a. Understand that the study medication is expected to have a teratogenic risk
    b. Agree to use a highly effective contraception during study drug therapy. This applies unless the subject is less than 18 years of age, has not had sexual debut and commits to sexual abstinence confirmed by a pregnancy test on every study visit.
    c. Agree to have a pregnancy test before the start of study medication. This requirement also applies to women of childbearing age who practice complete and continued abstinence and adolescent girls after menarche.
    d. Agree to have a pregnancy test every 3rd month including at the end of study treatment, except in the case of confirmed tubal sterilization. This requirement also applies to women of childbearing age who practice complete and continued abstinence and adolescent girls after menarche.
