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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 assess safety and efficacy of Polyoxidonium®, lyophilizate for solution for injections and topical application, 6 mg (NPO Petrovax Pharm LLC, Russia) in comparison with placebo in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Insurance against damage to health as a result of the clinical trial has been concluded
    Background therapy
    Background therapy is based on the available international and national guidelines that are in force during the study period. The following medications (in any dosage form except for the drug products that are used to treat COVID-19 according to the local and/or international guidelines that are in force during the study) are prohibited: • Antiviral medications • Immunomodulators (except for the IP) • Immunostimulants • Immunosuppressants • Interferon and interferon inductors
    Evidence for comparator
    The use of placebo in the comparison group is primarily associated with masking and blinding, which increases the reliability of the data. Considering that the standard treatment of coronavirus disease (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) has not been developed at the time of the study conduction, the group of comparison in the study PO-COV-III-20 uses placebo. All the enrolled patients have received full treatment in accordance with the available international and national guidelines that are in force during the study period.

    Clinical status at Day 15
    End point description
    The ordinal scale is used to estimate a proportional odds model, which is fitted with clinical status at day 15 as the outcome, treatment group as the main explanatory variable, and with randomization stratification variables as the other explanatory variables. The primary hypothesis test is based on a test of whether the common odds ratio for treatment is equal to one. It was evaluated the model fit using a goodness-of-fit likelihood ratio test. A stratified hypothesis test to account for baseline severity of disease is used. The distribution of clinical status at day 15 is summarized by treatment arm as percentages.

    26 Oct 2020
    It was added to the protocol that patients in an unconscious state can be enrolled in the study, including those in the drug-induced hibernation. In order to be included in the study prior to any study procedures, the patient should, if possible, sign a Patient Information Sheet with an Informed Consent Form. In the absence of the possibility of making a decision by the patient due to his/her critical condition, the decision to include the patient in this study is made by a Concilium consisting of 3 doctors. As soon as the patient is able to read and understand the information in the Patient Information Sheet with the Informed Consent Form for health reasons, he/she will be asked, if he/she voluntarily wishes to continue participating in the study, to sign and date the Patient Information Sheet and the Informed Consent Form. The procedure for holding the Concilium of doctors is described in detail in Section 11.3.
