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.

    Main objective of the trial
    Clinical status as assessed by the 7-point ordinal scale up to 30 days after inclusion
    Protection of trial subjects
    AE were assessed, for all patients, from the time of signed informed consent until 45 days. All reported SAEs that had not been resolved by the end of the study was followed up until the event had subsided (or disappeared), the condition was stabilized, the event was otherwise explained or the study subject was lost to follow-up. Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) met regularly until patients had been followed for at least 3 weeks. The DSMB was able to stop randomization for safety reasons.

    Date
    Amendment
    20 Aug 2020
    2 more sites included
    08 Sep 2020
    Another member in the DSMB was included. -Two more sites -Clarifying the primary end-point is assessed by time to changes in clinical status including both worsening (need of mechanical ventilation) and improving (discharge from hospital) -Definition of the secondary end-point was clarified from Admission to ICU to need of mechanical ventilation. -Including the possibility to analyze virus load in naso-pharynx swabs also in the following phases of the study. -Added a inclusion criteria that the patients should not have had more than 3 days in hospital at inclusion -Exclusion criterias were modified: -Instead of previous enzalutamide and tamoxifen treatment only we broadened it to include all hormonal treatment for prostate or breast cancer. -NOAK (Non-vitamin-K antagonist anticoagulants) was allowed and Clopidogrel was included as exclusion criteria -“Unstable cardiovascular disease” was changed to “current symptoms of unstable cardiovascular disease” -Immunosuppressive medication was specified to allow any corticosteroids used for COVID-19 and up to 10mg/day equivalent dose of prednisolone prior to inclusion. -Transitory Ischemic Attack was allowed -“Previous seizure” was specified to “Epileptic seizure “ -Excluded registration of concomitant medication in the form of topical administrated treatments -Defined re-hospitalization event to include “Any worsening symptoms considered to be a consequence from COVID-19 requiring re-hospitalization is regarded as a rebound event. Rehabilitation at hospital with stable symptoms is not regarded as a rebound event” -In the section of AE there is a list of symptoms that was not mandatory to report as adverse events because they were symptoms of COVID-19 disease (e.g fever). Hospitalization due to COVID-19 - phrase deleted. The incorrect phrasing "symptoms and deaths due to COVID-19 should not be reported as SAE or SUSAR" was deleted. 2 ICF forms signed by doctor and patient separately allowed
    02 Feb 2021
    Adding one in the steering group -Adding “Pharmacokinetic interaction of enzalutamide with other drugs” as a secondary objective -Adverse events relatedness was updated to also include the definition “unlikely related” to study drug. -All blood samples at 6 months were excluded from the protocol.
