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   44163   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7327   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.

    7. For patients receiving OCA, fenofibrate, or bezafibrate treatment for at least 6 months and stable dose for >3 months prior to Screening.
    8. For patients intolerant to OCA, OCA must have been discontinued >3 months prior to Screening.
    9. For patients previously treated with bezafibrate or fenofibrate, these agents must have been be discontinued >3 months prior to Screening.

    b. For female patients ≤55 years of age who are considered postmenopausal and who are not on concomitant estrogen replacement therapy, confirmation of postmenopausal status will be required with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) test results in the postmenopausal range for age at Screening.

    12. Male patients with female partners of childbearing potential must be willing to use a condom and require their partner to use an additional form of adequate contraception as approved by the Investigator, such as an established form of hormonal contraceptive, a diaphragm or cervical/vault cap, or intrauterine device. This requirement begins at the time of informed consent and ends 90 days after receiving the last dose of IMP.
    13. Male patients must be willing not to donate sperm, and female study participants must be willing not to donate eggs, from Baseline until 90 days after the last dose of IMP.

    One repeat blood sampling (with analysis by the central laboratory) can be performed at the discretion of the Investigator at Screening Visit 2 for patients who meet this exclusion criterion at Screening Visit 1. If this exclusion criterion is not met at Screening Visit 2, the patient may be eligible for the study.
    6. Plasma ALT >3×ULN and/or AST >3×ULN.
    One repeat blood sampling (with analysis by the central laboratory) can be performed at the discretion of the Investigator at Screening Visit 2 for patients who meet this exclusion criterion at Screening Visit 1. If this exclusion criterion is not met at Screening Visit 2, the patient may be eligible for the study.
