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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Has a history of chronic HF (NYHA Class II to IV) on GDMT with no events of HFH within 6 months or outpatient IV diuretic use within 3 months before randomization.
    2. Is male or female, at least 18 years of age, at the time of providing documented informed consent.
    3. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
    • Is not a WOCBP OR
    • Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), with low user dependency, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) during the intervention period and for at least 1 month after the last dose of study intervention. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (ie, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
    - A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention.
    - If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
    - The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
    - Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
    4. The participant (or legally acceptable representative) has provided documented informed consent/assent for the study. The participant may also provide consent/assent for FBR. However, the participant may participate in the study without participating in FBR.
    5. Has a screening NT-proBNP level within 30 days before randomization. For participants with multiple NT-proBNP results during screening, the most recent value will be used to determine eligibility at the Randomization Visit.
    6. Has an LVEF of ≤40% assessed within 12 months before randomization by any imaging method. The most recent measurement must be used to determine eligibility.
    1. Antecedentes de IC crónica (clase II a IV de la NYHA) con TMGC sin episodios de HIC en los 6 meses previos ni uso ambulatorio de diuréticos IV en los 3 meses previos a la aleatorización.
    2. Mujer o varón mayor de 18 años en el momento de otorgar el consentimiento informado documentado.
    3. En el estudio podrán participar mujeres que no estén embarazadas ni en período de lactancia y que cumplan al menos una de las condiciones siguientes:
    • No es una mujer en edad fértil.
    O
    • Es una mujer en edad fértil y utiliza un método anticonceptivo muy eficaz (con un índice de fallos <1% anual), con escasa dependencia de la usuaria, o practica la abstinencia de relaciones heterosexuales como modo de vida preferido y habitual (abstinencia a largo plazo y persistente), durante el período de intervención y hasta, como mínimo, un mes después de recibir la última dosis de la intervención del estudio. El investigador deberá evaluar la posibilidad de fracaso del método anticonceptivo (es decir, incumplimiento o inicio reciente) en relación con la primera dosis de la intervención del estudio.
    - Las mujeres en edad fértil deberán dar negativo en una prueba de embarazo de alta sensibilidad (en orina o suero, según exija la normativa local) realizada en las 24 horas previas a la primera dosis de la intervención del estudio.
    - Cuando no pueda confirmarse que el resultado de una prueba en orina es negativo (por ejemplo, resultado ambiguo), será necesario hacer una prueba de embarazo en suero. En tales casos, la posible participante será excluida si el resultado de la prueba de embarazo en suero es positivo.
    - El investigador es responsable de revisar los antecedentes médicos, los antecedentes menstruales y la actividad sexual reciente para reducir el riesgo de incluir a una mujer con un embarazo de poco tiempo no detectado.
    - El uso de anticonceptivos por las mujeres deberá cumplir la normativa local sobre métodos anticonceptivos para participantes en estudios clínicos.
    4. El participante (o su representante legal) otorga su consentimiento o asentimiento informado documentado para el estudio. El participante también podrá otorgar su consentimiento para investigaciones biomédicas futuras. No obstante, podrá participar en el estudio principal sin necesidad de hacerlo en las investigaciones biomédicas futuras.
    5. Concentración de NT-proBNP de selección en los 30 días previos a la aleatorización. En los posibles participantes con varios resultados de NT-proBNP durante la selección se utilizará el valor más reciente para determinar su elegibilidad en la visita de aleatorización.
