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 ).

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy endpoint is TTCW, defined as the first confirmed morbidity event or death. The events that will comprise this endpoint include the following:
    • All-cause death
    • Non-planned PAH-related hospitalization of = 24 hours in duration
    • Atrial septostomy
    • Lung transplant
    • Deterioration in performance in exercise testing due to PAH, defined as a decrease in 6MWD from baseline on
    2 consecutive tests (which must be at least 4 hours apart) and at least 1
    of the following:
    - Worsening of WHO FC from baseline
    - Signs/symptoms of increased right heart failure
    - Addition of a background PAH therapy or change in the composition of
    PAH background therapy, including an increase in parenteral prostacyclin of = 10%
    All events will be adjudicated by a blinded, independent committee of clinical experts.
    L’endpoint primario di efficacia è il TTCW, definito come il primo evento di morbilità confermato o decesso. Gli eventi che comprenderanno questo endpoint includono i seguenti:
    • Decesso per qualsiasi causa
    • Ricovero non programmato correlato all’IAP di durata = 24 ore
    • Settostomia atriale
    • Trapianto polmonare
    • Deterioramento delle prestazioni nei test da sforzo a causa dell’IAP, definito come una diminuzione della distanza percorsa a piedi in 6 minuti (Six-Minute Walk Distance, [6MWD]) rispetto al basale in 2 test consecutivi (che devono essere eseguiti ad almeno 4 ore di distanza) e almeno 1 dei seguenti:
    - Peggioramento della FC dell’OMS rispetto al basale
    - Segni/Sintomi di aumento dell’insufficienza cardiaca destra
    - Aggiunta di una terapia di base per l’IAP o variazione nella composizione della terapia di base per l’IAP, incluso un aumento della prostaciclina parenterale = 10%
    Tutti gli eventi saranno validati da un comitato indipendente in cieco di esperti clinici.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary endpoint will be analyzed using a weighted stratified logrank test with randomization stratification factors as strata. The Cui-Hung-Wang (CHW) method will be used to control the overall Type I error rate. The point estimate of the hazard ratio with 95% CI will be estimated by a Cox regression model stratified by the randomization factors. If there is no increase in the number of events and sample size following the planned interim analysis, then the CHW method will be the same as a conventional analysis of this data. The Chen-DeMets-Lan method will be used as a supportive analysis to the CHW method.
    L’endpoint primario sarà analizzato utilizzando un test dei ranghi logaritmici stratificato ponderato con fattori di stratificazione della randomizzazione come strati. Per controllare il tasso di errore complessivo di tipo I verrà impiegato il metodo di Cui-Hung-Wang (CHW). La stima puntuale del rapporto di rischio con IC al 95% sarà stimata mediante un modello di regressione di Cox stratificato in base ai fattori di randomizzazione. Se non vi è alcun aumento nel numero di eventi e nella dimensione del campione dopo l’analisi ad interim programmata, il metodo CHW sarà lo stesso di un’analisi convenzionale di questi dati. Il metodo di Chen-DeMets-Lan sarà utilizzato come analisi di supporto al metodo CHW.
