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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 objective of this study was to identify the optimal dose of P2X3 receptor antagonist eliapixant in patients with RUCC and further assess efficacy and characterize safety and tolerability profile of eliapixant. The primary objective was to assess the efficacy of P2X3 receptor antagonist eliapixant as compared with placebo in terms of change in 24-hour cough count from baseline to week 12.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Council for Harmonization guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice. Before entering the study, the informed consent was read by and explained to all the subjects. Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Overall, 399 subjects were screened, 89 of whom were screening failures. The remaining 310 subjects were randomized to 4 treatment groups (75 to eliapixant 25 mg BID, 78 to eliapixant 75 mg BID, 80 to eliapixant 150 mg BID, and 77 to placebo).

If a subject received different interventions during the study, he/she was excluded from the PPS. The main reasons for excluding the subjects from the PPS were that there was no valid post-baseline measurement available due to an intercurrent event (15 subjects, 4.8%) or that the subject had used prohibited concomitant medication (9 subjects, 2.9%).
