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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study was to establish the efficacy of nabiximols relative to placebo in reducing spasm count as part of the presentation of spasticity when used as adjunctive therapy in patients with MS who have not achieved adequate relief from other antispasticity agents.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the protocol and consensus ethical principles derived from international guidelines including the Declaration of Helsinki, the ICH Tripartite Guideline for GCP Topic E6(R2), the US Food and Drug Administration regulations relating to GCP and clinical trials, the EU Clinical Trials Directive, the EU GCP Directive, and other applicable laws and regulations. The protocol, protocol amendments, ICF, investigator brochure, and other relevant documents were submitted to an IRB/IEC by the investigator and reviewed and approved by the IRB/IEC before the study was initiated.

    		 Change in Multiple Sclerosis Spasticity Scale (MSSS-88) Total Score
    End point description
    The MSSS-88 is a self-reported measure of the impact of spasticity (muscle stiffness and spasms) in MS. This 88-item scale captures the patient experience and impact of spasticity, including muscle stiffness, pain and discomfort, muscle spasms, effect on daily activities, ability to walk, body movement, patient feelings, and social functioning. Responses to individual questions can range from “1 - not at all bothered” to “4 - extremely bothered.” Scores are summed and higher scores indicate poor clinical outcome. Least square means are being reported.
