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   43861   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint is safety over the six months after treatment as assessed by the incidence of treatment emergent adverse events and changes from baseline in other safety parameters. Safety measures will be assessed by review of important events, including but not limited to inflammation, complications of the surgical procedure and worsening of vision.
    Anatomical endpoints related to transplant integrity, survival and surgical complications will be measured using:
     Color fundus photography
     Fundus autofluorescence
     Spectral domain-OCT (SD-OCT)
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    6 months after treatment
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary safety endpoints:
    There are no specific reference ranges or quantitative changes that are recognised in grading or following RP. Therefore the Principal Investigator will review the data on each of the following tests and assess whether any changes are clinically meaningful and/or may constitute an improvement or adverse event.

    Measures of change in visual function:
    1. Change in visual acuity
    A summary of the ETDRS +/- BRVT BCVA letter score and the change from baseline to end of study (24 months) in the treated eye presented by treatment group.

    2. Change in visual field: Goldmann visual field, microperimetry and FST
    A summary of the perimetry and change from baseline to end of study (24 months) in the treated eye presented by treatment group.

    3. Change in retinal sensitivity in the area overlying the implanted hRPC as compared with untreated retina.
    ERG results and change from baseline to end of study (24 months) summarised descriptively and presented by treatment group.

    Anatomical endpoints relating to retinal function in implant location:
    1. Color Fundus photography
    A qualitative description of the change in retinal appearance of treated and untreated retinal area in the treated eye from baseline to end of study (24 months) presented by treatment group.

    2. Fundus autofluorescence
    A qualitative description of the change in retinal appearance of treated and untreated retinal area from baseline to end of study (24 months) presented by treatment group.

    3. Spectral domain-OCT (SD-OCT)
    Summary of the overall retinal thickness and change from baseline to the end of study (24 months) of treated retina compared with untreated retina in the treated eye by treatment group.

    Summary of the outer nuclear layer thickness and change from baseline to the end of study (24 months) of treated retina compared with untreated retina in the treated eye by treatment group.

    Summary of the ellipsoid zone measurement and change from baseline to the end of study (24 months) of treated retina compared with untreated retina in the treated eye by treatment group, if present.

    Signal strength will be summarised by treatment group and visit as a measure of quality of the OCT parameter estimates.

    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be summarised for each treatment group. Incidence will be tabulated by MedDRA system organ class (SOC), preferred term (PT), and treatment group. Events will also be summarised by relationship to study drug, severity, seriousness and for AEs leading to study discontinuation.

    Clinical and ocular testing (i.e., laboratory testing, vital signs, physical examinations, ECGs, ocular slit lamp and dilated fundus examination) will be summarised at each visit and presented by treatment group.
