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   44235   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7336   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.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate preliminary long-term efficacy of evenamide, based on symptoms of schizophrenia, as assessed by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Clinical Global Impression - Change from baseline (CGI-C) and Severity of illness (CGI-S); to determine the long-term effect of evenamide on daily functioning, based on changes on the Strauss-Carpenter Level of Functioning (LOF) scale.
    Valutare l'efficacia preliminare a lungo termine di evenamide, in base ai sintomi della schizofrenia, valutata mediante la Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Clinical Global Impression - Change from baseline (CGI-C) e Severity of illness (CGI-S); determinare l'effetto a lungo termine di evenamide sulla Scala del livello funzionale, in base al cambiamento del punteggio sulla scala LOF (Strauss-Carpenter Level of Functioning Scale).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Patients must meet the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study:
    1. Patient completed 6 weeks of treatment in Study 014.
    2. Patient has provided written informed consent for this extension study.
    3. If female, patient is not of childbearing potential, pregnant or breastfeeding. For inclusion, female patients must be post-menopausal (age 50 or older with confirmed amenorrhea for >12 months), surgically sterilized, or protected with adequate contraception (barrier method or hormonal contraceptive).
    Per essere eleggibile per l'arruolamento nello studio, un paziente deve soddisfare tutti i seguenti criteri di inclusione:
    1. Aver completato le 6 settimane di trattamento dello studio 014.
    2. Fornire il consenso informato scritto per questo studio di estensione.
    3. Se di sesso femminile, le pazienti non devono essere in età fertile, in gravidanza o in allattamento. Per poter essere incluse, le pazienti di sesso femminile devono essere in post-menopausa (età pari a 50 anni o più con amenorrea confermata per > 12 mesi), sterilizzate chirurgicamente o utilizzare un metodo contraccettivo adeguato (metodo di barriera o contraccettivo ormonale) e seguire le istruzioni del medico curante.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    The presence of any of the following will exclude a patient from study enrollment:
    1. Patient violated any requirement of the protocol in Study 014 that would put him/her at risk for continuing treatment with evenamide in Study 015.
    2. In the Investigator’s opinion, the patient had a significant worsening of risk for suicidality during Study 014.
    3. Patient is experiencing any moderate/severe neurological side effects, other than pre-existing EPS related to antipsychotic treatment prior to enrolling in Study 014.
    4. Patient has shown significant worsening of his/her symptoms of schizophrenia between baseline and the final assessment during the 6-week treatment period in Study 014, such that continuing treatment in Study 015 is considered undesirable.
    5. Patient demonstrated substantial non-compliance with dosing of the study medication in Study 014.
    La presenza di uno qualsiasi dei seguenti criteri porterà all’esclusione di un soggetto dello studio:
    1. Il soggetto ha violato uno qualsiasi dei requisiti del protocollo dello studio 014 che lo porrebbe a rischio per il proseguimento del trattamento con evenamide nello studio 015.
    2. Secondo lo sperimentatore, il soggetto ha avuto un significativo peggioramento del rischio di suicidio nel corso dello studio 014.
    3. Il soggetto manifesta effetti collaterali neurologici moderati o gravi, diversi da sintomi extrapiramidali preesistenti e correlati alla terapia con farmaci antipsicotici assunti prima dell’ingresso nello Studio 014.
    4. Il soggetto ha mostrato un peggioramento significativo dei sintomi della schizofrenia tra l’inizio dello studio e la valutazione finale durante il periodo di trattamento di 6 settimane dello Studio 014, in modo tale da ritenere che la prosecuzione del trattamento nello Studio 015 sia sconsigliata.
    5. Il soggetto ha mostrato una sostanziale mancanza di aderenza nel trattamento con il farmaco di studio nel corso dello Studio 014.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Safety will be assessed by the following:
    • Adverse events (AEs)
    • Vital signs (systolic/diastolic blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, respiratory rate, body weight, BMI, waist circumference)
    • Laboratory evaluations (hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis; serum prolactin).
    • Electrocardiogram (ECG) – 12-lead standard
    • Physical examination
    • Neurological examination
    • Standard eye examination – visual acuity (Snellen chart), visual field, eye muscles, pupillary response, fundus (dilated, if feasible), tonometry, and front part of eyes (eyelids, cornea, conjunctiva, sclera and iris)
    • Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale - Abbreviated version (ESRS-A)
    • Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS).
    Valutazioni di sicurezza - Obiettivo di sicurezza primario
    La sicurezza verrà valutata in base a quanto segue:
    • Eventi avversi (AEs)
    • Segni vitali (pressione arteriosa sistolica / diastolica, pulsazioni, temperatura corporea, frequenza respiratoria, peso corporeo, indice di massa corporea, circonferenza addominale)
    • Valutazioni di laboratorio (ematologia, ematochimica e analisi delle urine; prolattina sierica).
    • Elettrocardiogramma (ECG) - standard a 12 derivazioni
    • Esame obiettivo
    • Esame neurologico
    • Esame oculistico standard: acuità visiva (tabella di Snellen), campo visivo, muscoli oculari, risposta pupillare, fondo (con pupille dilatate, se possibile), tonometria e parte anteriore degli occhi (palpebre, cornea, congiuntiva, sclera e iride)
    • Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale - Versione abbreviata (ESRS-A)
    • Scala CDSS (Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Safety and efficacy evaluations will be performed at Weeks 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 during scheduled visits at the clinic, and at weeks 30 and 41 during telephone contacts.
    Le valutazioni finali di sicurezza e efficaci verranno effettuate alle visite alla settimana 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 e 46 in occasione del ritorno dei pazienti al centro e alla settimana 30 e 41 in occasione di contatti telefonici da parte dello staff del centro.
