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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.

    Blinding implementation details
    Double-dummy design was applied to ensure a double-blind condition of DKP.TRIS 25 mg / TRAM.HCl 75 mg versus TRAM.HCl 100 mg versus the respective placebos. The placebo tablets were provided as film-coated tablets with appearance and weight matching relative DKP.TRIS 25 mg / TRAM.HCl 75 mg. The active comparator, TRAM.HCl 100 mg, was provided as 2 capsules of Tramadol 50 mg and, for blinding purpose, 2 capsules of placebo were provided with appearance and weight matching relative Tramadol 50 mg.

    The per-protocol (PP) population included all patients in the ITT who had not experienced major protocol violations that could affect the primary efficacy analysis. Protocol violations which had a major distorting influence on the primary endpoints resulted in patients being excluded from the PP population (465 patients totally). The PDs identified during the clinical conduct of the study, as authorised in the final PD log, were taken into consideration in the final assignment of patients to the analysis sets. Patients were assigned to the treatment received, for each category in case the treatment received differs from that randomized.

    Justification: Arms involved in the analysis are not all the ones in the baseline period but alternatively: Desketo/Tramadol (experimental) vs Tramadol or Desketo/Tramadol vs Placebo both in the Single dose Phase (Period 1) or in the Multiple Dose Phase (Period 2) depending on the endpoint calculated.

    [16] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Arms involved in the analysis are not all the ones in the baseline period but alternatively: Desketo/Tramadol (experimental) vs Tramadol or Desketo/Tramadol vs Placebo both in the Single dose Phase (Period 1) or in the Multiple Dose Phase (Period 2) depending on the endpoint calculated.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    13 Sep 2021
    The overall rationale for this amendment is to update the change in the sample size as per the re estimation of sample size and to incorporate the changes provided in erratum dated 19 May 2020. Main changes introduced: Downgrade of the Statistical Power from the original 90% to the actual 80% Reduction of the Sample size to 510 from original 680 patients Added examples of medications for clarification Creatinine clearance value defining abnormal renal function is corrected from ≥60 mL/min to ≤60 mL/min The number of countries where the study is conducted is reduced to 6 from 8; Italy and Lithuania are removed from the list.

    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.
