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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To investigate the efficacy of vafidemstat, in combination with applicable standard of care treatment to prevent Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in adult severely ill patients with CoVID-19.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In accordance with European Union RGPD 2016/679 of 27 April, 2016 the data were processed in accordance with the specifications outlined by the local law to ensure that requirements regarding personal data protection are met. If an external organization processed data on behalf of Oryzon, a contractual procedure was signed between Oryzon and the external organization to ensure compliance with the above-mentioned legislation. If applicable, the participation of patients in this study was reported to the appropriate local data protection agencies, in accordance with European Union RGPD 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 and Country-specific guidelines and laws (Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 7 sites in Spain. Sixty patients were assigned, 29 in the SoC + vafidemstat group and 31 in the SoC group.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    This study did not have a screening period. Patients were randomized to the study treatment after confirmation of selection criteria by investigator. Eligible patients were randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio (SoC: SoC + vafidemstat) by a strict order of inclusion in the study and following a randomization list.

    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The PPS, which matched the FAS, was considered the primary analysis population for efficacy. For continuous variables: parametric (Student’s t-test) or non-parametric tests (Mann–Whitney) for comparisons between groups and parametric (paired Student’s t-test) or non-parametric test (Wilcoxon) for comparisons between visits. For categorical variables: Chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test for comparisons between groups.
