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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    Sleep: The change from baseline to Week 6 in relations with sleep was analysed using the MMRM model. The MMRM model included fixed effects of treatment, week, treatment-by-week interaction, the randomisation stratum of Baseline pain severity (moderate, severe), and the Baseline ADPS score as a covariate.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Oct 2020
    • EudraCT Number was provided as unique study reference for participating European Sites • Study Drug Administration: Run-in period Tables was removed as all patients during this time point were to be administered study placebo only • Futility assessment was not needed as interim efficacy analysis provided needed statistical data • Global protocol alignment with regard to patients being able to consume a light meal prior to study visits to ensure that patient’s weight was collected despite having had consumed food • Safety Physician contact information was updated as new person was performing this role • Appendix A: Clarification to table footer (i) to better outline which pregnancy test types (serum/urine) were collected during time points (Screening and Day 1 [Baseline]) • Appendix A: Clarification to table footer (k) performed to better outline the collection time points of Cp2hr, biomarker/target engagement, and cytokine and chemokine blood samples
    03 Mar 2021
    • To streamline brand and dose, only the acetaminophen provided by the Sponsor as a rescue medicine was to be used during the course of the study. It was noted that the use of personally acquired acetaminophen was prohibited. • To avoid confusion, the text in the protocol was globally aligned regarding the permitted time frame for brief use of opioid medication for the management of non-PHN acute pain prior to the Screening Visit. • Use of NSAIDs for the specific treatment of PHN pain was excluded. • The Sponsor was responsible for deciding if Verified Clinical Trials were established in specific countries. • The Safety Physician contact information was updated as new person performing this role.
    15 Oct 2021
    • Modified plans for interim analysis and their implications • The exclusion of patients with facial PHN were eligible for participation if trigeminal neuralgia was excluded as a cause • Changed the physical address of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
