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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary aim of the study is to compare the effects of self-administered 120 µg dasiglucagon versus placebo (during postprandial hypoglycaemia) on CGM-assessed time spent in hypoglycaemia in RYGB-operated individuals in an out-patient setting.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: During the treatment periods, seven participants (29%) treated with dasiglucagon reported a total of 25 incidences of mild-to-moderate nausea compared with two participants (8%) who reported a total of two incidences in the placebo period. These events were primarily driven by three participants who reported 28 adverse events during dasiglucagon treatment, with nausea (20 counts) and dizziness (4 counts) being the most frequent. No adverse events lead to premature discontinuation from the trial
