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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To investigate the prevalence of bile acid diarrhea (BAD) in patients with active microscopic colitis (MC). The apperance of BAD is defined by watery stools and a raised level of 7alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-on (C4).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients with flare in microscopic colitis were included and we studied the bile acid homeostasis alongside standard treatment with budesonide. If patients after end oftreatment had relapse in diarrhoea, treatment was initiated by the local responsible phycisian

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Patients with suspected active diarrhea due to microscopic colitis were included. During the baseline periode, we screened away patients who did not have diarrhea by objective measure (diary recirdings)

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 We pre-screened 134 patient charts for possible inclusion. 31 did not meeyt inclusion cretiera, 11 met exclusion criteria, 28 declined participation on first contact, 6 were already started on treatment (exlusion criterion), 1 had too old a colonoscopy diagnostic of MC. 60 were eligible for baseline screenining

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The primary end point was the prevalence of co-existing bile acid diarrhea in patients with flare in microscopic colitis. This system only allows creation of statistital analyses with a comparator/control group, however, the needed analysis (Wilson's CI of binary data) does not have a control group. 6 (12%) of 49 patients (95%CI 5-25%) had co-existing bile acid diarrhea
