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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7294   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.

    Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [1]
    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) was as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. Serious adverse event (SAE): an AE that met at least 1 of the following criteria: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical event. A TEAE was defined as an AE that occurred or worsened while on ataluren (on or after first dose of ataluren) up to 4 weeks after the last dose. A summary of all SAEs and Other AEs (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the ‘Reported Adverse Events’ Section. Safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of ataluren.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    29 Apr 2021
    It included following changes: • The duration of treatment was changed from “52 weeks” to “24 weeks” and the end of treatment (EOT) timepoint was updated to occur at Week 24 instead of Week 52. • Removal of the efficacy endpoint (change in motor development). • Removal of the exploratory endpoint “abnormalities of physical findings, clinical laboratory tests, or electrocardiograms (ECGs)” since this information is captured as part of the primary endpoint. • The exploratory objective of “to assess changes from baseline in creatine kinase (CK) levels after 24 weeks of ataluren treatment” and the exploratory endpoint of “change from baseline in CK levels” were added. • Updates were made to the volume and process by which blood PK samples are collected.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
