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   43879   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   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.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Jul 2021
    Protocol amendment 2, protocol version 3.0, 2-jul-2021: •Change in LDH was added as an exploratory endpoint • Interim analysis and DMC process was clarified. Ad hoc safety review meeting was added • Description of individual change in ordinal scale scores reflected in the original primary endpoint (see Protocol Version 5.0 below) was added • India-specific age limits and SpO2 criteria added to Inclusion Criteria 1 and 7, respectively. • Active TB was added to Exclusion Criterion 2 • SpO2/FiO2 ratio was added to Exclusion Criterion 9 • Oral dispersion and nasoenteral feeding tube were added as alternative administration forms • List with prohibited medication was added • IMP discontinuation criteria were added for acute kidney and hepatic injury • Text updated to specify that there were no specific criteria for temporary discontinuation of IMP in the protocol • Additional 8-point ordinal scale assessment added at time of hospital discharge and in subjects hospitalized between Days 29 and 60 • Section 8.3 was updated to collect data on all types of hospital re-admissions • Albumin and LDH were added to laboratory parameters • Serum albumin was added to Child-Pugh System table • Plots of cumulative distribution functions were added for the oxygen supplemental free days up to Day 29 endpoint • Additional details on the originally planned interim analysis and sample size re-estimation (See Protocol Version 5.0 below) were provided, including a cap of 450 subjects per treatment group • Option for a third DMC meeting was added • Abstinence was removed from contraceptive and barrier guidance • Procedure for discontinuation of HRT to check menopausal status removed • SoC treatment for COVID-19 was specified • Country specific requirements for India were added
    07 Dec 2021
    Protocol amendment 3, Protocol version 4.0, 7-Dec-2021: • Added “hospital-approved diagnostic” PCR test to Inclusion Criterion 2 • Exclusion Criterion 3 rephrased to clarify that the alterations in the Child-Pugh score were to be caused by altered hepatic function, not another underlying disease • Exclusion Criterion 5 changed to a COVID-19 symptom onset >21 days prior to screening (Visit 1) • Oral dispersion was added as an option for subjects with gastric discomfort • Specified that route of administration was captured in the eCRF • Added option of local laboratory analysis of safety samples in special circumstances • Clarification of grading of hepatic impairment (Update of Table 3 in the Protocol [Appendix 16.1.1]) • Subgroup analysis including presence of risk factors for severe COVID-19 was added • Clarified that no adjustment for alpha was required
    13 Apr 2022
    This version was submitted and approved in all the countries, except for Colombia where the trial was completed under Protocol Version 4.0. The key changes in Version 5.0 of the protocol included: • The primary endpoint was changed after the last subject was enrolled. The primary endpoint was changed from “proportion of subjects discharged from hospital and free of supplemental oxygen at Day 15” to “all-cause mortality up to Day 60”. The previous primary endpoint was then considered a key secondary endpoint. Sections 1.1, 3.0, 4.2, 9.1.1, 9.3.2, and 9.3.3 were updated to reflect these changes. • Sample size was reduced from 600 to 300. Protocol Sections 1.1, 1.2, 4.1, 9.3.1, and 9.5 were updated to reflect the reduced sample size. Power calculations were updated to incorporate the new primary endpoint. •The hierarchy was revised for the statistical comparisons for the primary efficacy endpoint and the key secondary endpoint as follows; all-cause mortality up to Day 60, time to sustained hospital discharge up to Day 60, supplemental oxygen free days up to Day 29, proportion of subjects free of respiratory failure at Day 15, and proportion of subjects discharged from hospital and free of supplemental oxygen at Day 15. This means that statistically significant results for the comparison in the higher rank were required to initiate the testing of the next comparison in the lower rank. Since a step-down procedure was used, each comparison was tested at a significance level of 0.05 and an overall alpha level of 0.05 was preserved. • Removal of the planned interim analysis and sample size re-estimation due to decreased sample size. • Subgroup analyses based on race and ethnicity were added. • The number of subjects for the PK sampling was revised due to the decreased overall sample size.
