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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of ABX464 50mg to prevent respiratory failure or death in study patients.
    Protection of trial subjects
    An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), with expertise and experience in virology, immunology, and biostatistics, and without direct involvement in the conduct of the trial, will be set up specifically to guarantee effective protection of patients, ensure the ethical conduct of the trial, benefit/risk ratio of the trial, and to ensure the independent review of the scientific results during the trial and at the end of the trial. All safety data will be thoroughly reviewed by the DSMB. Part of the DSMB duties is to review occurrence of adverse events which character, severity or frequency is new in comparison to the existing risk profile. In such case, recommendations from the DSMB may lead the either additional stopping rules up to study discontinuation. The DSMB will meet first after the 20 first patients are enrolled and treated for at least 4 weeks (D28) and then every month after this first meeting. The DSMB will oversee the adequate balance of baseline characteristics (i.e. gender, disease duration, previous and concomitant CD medication) among the treatment groups and will review safety and efficacy data. Furthermore, all potential causally-related Serious Adverse Events within 7 days of the initial notification by an investigating site. Every grade 3 or higher adverse event will be reported within 24 hours to the DSMB for causality assessment. The DSMB has a consultative role. It will inform the Sponsor who will decide whether the DSMB recommendation will be followed. Besides, the DSMB may recommend the early termination of the trial at any time if an unacceptable toxicity occurs.

    Rate of Patients With no Invasive or Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV and NIV, Respectively), But Excluding Simple Nasal/Mask Oxygen Supplementation, and Who Are Alive
    End point description
    Efficacy analysis was done at time of interim analysis. The data from the interim analysis shows that ratio of responders in active group was less than in the control group. After 305 randomized patients completed the Day 28 assessment or reached the end of study- the estimated conditional power was 0.0% and study met the predefined stopping criterion for futility. This result was presented in DSMB meeting. DSMB recommended study early termination for futility, which led to stopping recruitment.
