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   44020   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7318   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The evaluation of the activity of Thymosin alpha 1 in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) by means of variation of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1ß, IL-8, IL-17A, IL-6 and TNF-alpha) in serum and induced sputum.
    L’attività di Timosina alfa 1 sarà valutata tramite la variazione media delle citochine infiammatorie IL-1ß, IL-8, IL-17A, IL-6 and TNF-alfa nel siero e nello sputo indotto.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of Thymosin alpha 1 by means of type, incidence, severity, timing, seriousness and relatedness of reported AEs, physical examinations, ECG and laboratory tests.

    - Evaluate the variation of neutrophil elastase in induced sputum, of c-reactive protein in blood and of sweat chloride concentration.

    - Evaluate and compare the first efficacy results about Thymosin alpha1 as assessed by changes before and after the treatment in lung functionality and quality of life.
    - Valutazione della sicurezza e della tollerabilità di Timosina alfa 1 tramite descrizione del tipo, dell’incidenza, della gravità, della correlazione temporale e causalità delle segnalazioni degli Eventi Avversi, esame obiettivo, ECG e test di laboratorio.

    - Valutazione dell’elastasi neutrofila nello sputo indotto, della proteina C reattiva nel sangue e delle concentrazioni di cloro nel sudore.

    - Valutazione dei primi risultati di efficacia di Timosina alfa1 come determinazione, prima e dopo il trattamento, della funzionalità polmonare e della qualità della vita del paziente.

    Patients after taking the two doses of drug (in the first sixteen weeks), enter an observation period (Follow up) for a further 8 weeks, in which they will not receive treatment, but any adverse events will be evaluated, in addition to the functionality of the treatment. Patients who will be involved in the study will be patients already being treated at the center and once the study is completed, they will continue to be followed by the center according to the best clinical practice
    I pazienti dopo aver assunto le due dosi di farmaco (nelle prime sedici settimane), entrano in un periodo di osservazione (Follow up) per ulteriori 8 settimane, nel quale non riceveranno il trattamento, ma saranno valutati eventuali eventi avversi, oltre alla funzionalità del trattamento. I pazienti che verranno coinvolti nello studio saranno pazienti già in cura presso il centro e una volta concluso lo studio , continueranno ad essere seguiti dal centro secondo la migliore pratica clinica.
