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 ).

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Safety: To evaluate the safety and tolerability (including EEG and ECG effects) of an oral dose of evenamide
    of 30 mg bid [60 mg/day]), achieved after a 1-week titration starting with 15 mg bid, compared to placebo, in
    patients with schizophrenia who are being treated with stable doses of antipsychotic medication (aripiprazole,
    clozapine, quetiapine, olanzapine, paliperidone or risperidone).
    • Efficacy: To evaluate the efficacy of evenamide at a dose of 30 mg bid, achieved after a 1-week titration
    starting with 15 mg bid, compared to placebo, based on improvements in symptoms of schizophrenia, as
    assessed by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score.
    Sicurezza: Valutare la sicurezza e tollerabilità (inclusi gli effetti su EEG e ECG), di una dose orale di evenamide di 30 mg/bid [60 mg al giorno], raggiunta dopo una settimana di titolazione partendo da 15 mg bid, in confronto al placebo, in pazienti con schizofrenia in trattamentoa dosi stabili di un farmaco antipsicotico (aripiprazolo, clozapina, quetiapina,olanzapina o risperidone).
    Efficacia: valutare l'efficacia di evenamide ad una dose di 30mg bid, raggiunta dopo una settimana di titolazione partendo da 15 mg bid, in confronto al placebo, basata sui miglioramenti dei sintomi della schizofrenia, valutati attraverso la Scala dei Sintomi Positivi e Negativi (PANSS)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of evenamide at a dose of 30 mg bid, achieved after a 1-week titration starting with 15 mg bid, compared to placebo, based on improvements in symptoms of schizophrenia, as assessed by the Clinical Global Impression - Severity of illness (CGI-S) and as assessed by the CGI - Change from baseline (CGI-C);
    To determine the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of evenamide and its major metabolite, (3-butoxy-phenyl)-acetic acid, at a dose of 30 mg bid;
    To determine the effect of evenamide, compared to placebo, on daily functioning, based on improvements on the Strauss-Carpenter Level of Functioning (LOF) scale;
    To determine the patient’s satisfaction with the study medication, compared to their previous treatment, based on improvements on the Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ).
    • Valutare l’efficacia della dose di evenamide di 30 mg due volte al giorno, raggiunta dopo una titolazione di una settimana a partire dalla dose di 15 mg due volte al giorno, rispetto al placebo, in base ai miglioramenti nei sintomi della schizofrenia, come valutato con la Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI -S), e come valutato con la Clinical Global Impression - Change from baseline (CGI-C).
    • Determinare la farmacocinetica (PK) a dosi multiple di evenamide e del suo metabolita principale, l’acido 3-butossi-fenil acetico, alla dose di 30 mg due volte al giorno.
    • Determinare l’effetto di evenamide, rispetto al placebo, nelle attività quotidiane, in base ai miglioramenti osservati nella scala LOF (Strauss-Carpenter Level of Functioning);
    • Determinare la soddisfazione del paziente riguardo al trattamento ricevuto, rispetto al trattamento precedente, in base ai miglioramenti sul questionario Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ).

    - History (within three months of study entry) or current diagnosis of Substance Use Disorder as defined by the DSM-5 criteria, with a severity of ‘moderate’ or ‘severe’, or patient is currently abusing drugs or alcohol or has done so in the past year. A history of nicotine or caffeine dependence is acceptable.
    - Severity of current episode of psychosis requires that the patient be hospitalized. Patients who are chronically hospitalized or in psychiatric day-care, whose hospitalization is for logistic reasons and not due to the severity of their illness, will be eligible for the study.
    - Has a score of 6 (severe) or higher in 2 or more of the following 4 core symptoms of piscosis: conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, suspiciousness and unusual thought content (derived from PANSS).
    - Severity of psicosis is rated severe or higher (CGI-S of 7).
    - History or current diagnosis of other psychiatric disorders (Axis I diagnosis) or behavioral disorders that could interfere with the conduct or interpretation of the trial.
    - Known suicidal risk. Patients who have exhibited suicidal behavior within the past 6 months, as indicated by an actual attempt, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt, or preparatory acts will be excluded from participating in the trial. In making the assessment of suicidal risk, the Investigator should take into account the ratings on the C-SSRS (based on the past 1 month), with a ‘YES’ response on the Suicidal Ideation Item 4 or Item 5, or a ‘YES’ response on any of the five C-SSRS Suicidal Behavior items being exclusionary.
    - “Treatment resistant” defined significant persistent symptoms of schizophrenia after adequate doses of two standard antipsychotic medications (from two different chemical classes, including at least one atypical antipsychotic) following 6 weeks of treatment with each at adequate doses. Treatment resistant patients on clozapine for at least 6 months will be permitted if they have shown minimal improvement in the Investigator’s judgement.
    - Diagnosi ai sensi del DSM-5 del disturbo schizofrenico (295.40), disturbo schizoaffettivo (295.70) o ogni altra diagnosi psichiatrica primaria, come il disturbo bipolare o il disturbo depressivo maggiore.

    - Anamnesi (nei tre mesi precedenti all’ingresso nello studio) o diagnosi attuale di Disturbo da Uso di Sostanze come definito dai criteri DSM-5, di gravità pari a “moderato” o “grave”, o corrente abuso di droghe o alcol o nell’anno precedente. L’anamnesi di dipendenza da nicotina o caffeina è accettabile
    - Episodio attuale di psicosi di gravità tale da richiedere il ricovero ospedaliero del paziente. I pazienti cronicamente ricoverati, o in una struttura di assistenza psichiatrica per ragioni logistiche e non per la gravità della malattia, sono eleggibili in questo studio.
    - Ha un punteggio di 6 (severo) o più alto in 2 o più dei seguenti 4 sintomi core della piscosi: disorganizzazione concettuale, comportamento allucinatorio, sospettosità e contenuti del pensieri insoliti (derivato dalla PANSS)
    - Gravità della psicosi valutata come molto grave (punteggio CGI-S di 7).
    - Anamnesi o diagnosi corrente di altri disturbi psichiatrici (diagnosi di Asse I) o disturbi comportamentali che potrebbero interferire con la conduzione o l’interpretazione dello studio.
    - Rischio suicidario noto. I pazienti che hanno mostrato comportamenti suicidi entro gli ultimi 6 mesi, come indicato da tentativi effettivi, tentativi sospesi o atti preparatori, sono esclusi dalla partecipazione allo studio. Nel fare la valutazione del rischio suicidario, l’Investigatore dovrà tenere in considerazione il risultato del C-SSRS (basato su 1 mese precedente), che con una risposta positiva sull’Ideazione del Suicidio – punto 4 o 5, o una risposta positiva su uno dei 5 punti del CSSR-S Comportamento Suicida, porteranno all’esclusione del paziente.
    - “Resistenza al trattamento”, definita come presenza di sintomi persistenti significativi della schizofrenia nonostante la somministrazione di adeguate dosi di due farmaci antipsicotici standard (da due classi chimiche differenti, incluso almeno un antipsicotico atipico), dopo 6 settimane di trattamento con ognuno, somministrato a dosi adeguate. I pazienti resistenti al trattamento, trattati con clozapina da almeno 6 mesi sono eleggibili se mostrano un miglioramento minimo secondo il giudizio dello sperimentatore.
