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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of free complement component 5 (C5)-associated breakthrough hemolysis (BTH) in participants on high-dose eculizumab who switched to ravulizumab (per approved dose regimen).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the protocol and with the consensus ethical principles derived from international guidelines including the Declaration of Helsinki and Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) International Ethical Guidelines, applicable International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines, and applicable laws and regulations.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    29 Jan 2020
    The main rationale for this amendment was to allow administration of eculizumab at the participant’s home at the discretion of the Investigator during Screening to reduce the burden of clinical visits. In addition, 2 specific patient-reported outcomes (Patient-Reported Symptoms [PRS] and Healthcare Resource Utilization [HRU]) are being included for exploratory data analysis.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
