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.

    Proportion of Participants with NASH Resolution on Overall Histopathological Reading Without Worsening of Fibrosis at Week 52 [1]
    End point description
    Resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is defined as a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) of 0–1 for inflammation, 0 for ballooning, and any value for steatosis as determined by a central reader. Worsening of fibrosis is defined as any increase in NASH Clinical Research Network (CRN) fibrosis stage as determined by a central reader.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Aug 2019
    The exclusion criteria were updated to exclude patients with various additional endocrine, hepatic, and skeletal pathologies in consideration of overall patient safety and the potential risks of fazpilodemab. Additionally, the current or prior use of selected medications impacting hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and bone mineral density was added as exclusion criteria.
    09 Mar 2020
    The use of glucocorticoids was further clarified to exclude systemic glucocorticoids. The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists was amended to allow patients who were treated with a stable dose of GLP-1 for at least 6 months prior to the qualifying liver biopsy. The exclusion criterion for patients with cholelithiasis was removed. The exclusion criterion for patients with vitamin D deficiency ( < 20 ng/mL) was amended because the majority of patients with metabolic syndrome and/or NASH are vitamin D insufficient.
    28 Oct 2020
    The exclusion criterion for drugs prolonging QT was removed. The exclusion criterion for drugs historically associated with NAFLD was further clarified as the intent of the criterion was to exclude drugs that might cause steatohepatitis. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) exclusion criterion was updated to clarify that the HBV DNA was a reflexive laboratory test that should be done to confirm past or resolved HBV infection in patients with the presence of hepatitis B core antibody and absence of hepatitis B surface antigen. The HBV and hepatitis C reflex laboratory tests were further clarified. The PHQ-9 exclusion criterion was updated to more accurately identify patients at higher risk for self-harm including suicidal ideation or behavior.
    12 Jan 2021
    The initial screen FibroScan(TM) inclusion criteria for potential participants who do not have a qualifying historical liver biopsy were modified. The study design was clarified to separate the conduct of the fixed dosing cohort and the individualized dosing cohort. Vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus were added to the permitted medications. The thyroid exclusion criteria as well as permitted and prohibited thyroid therapies were revised to clarify the screening testing and hypo- and hyperthyroid treatment requirements.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Because the study was terminated early, the interpretation of its data is limited, and early dropout may confound the results.
