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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate whether a 12-week celecoxib treatment (400mg/day) added to treatment as usual (TAU, defined as pharmacotherapy and/or psychotherapy) is more effective in reducing depressive symptoms as measured with the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS 30-item self-report version) than placebo in patients aged 18-65yr with major depressive disorder and IMD characteristics (atypical, energy-related symptoms (≥6 on IDS)(Lamers et al. 2020) and circulating CRP>1mg/L) during 12-week follow-up.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate whether in patients aged 18-65yr with major depressive disorder and IMD characteristics (atypical, energy-related symptoms (≥6 on IDS) and circulating CRP>1mg/L) a 12-week adjunctive celecoxib treatment (400mg/day) vs placebo is:
    - more effective in reaching response (defined as 50% reduction in total IDS score) and remission (based on the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview [MINI])
    - more effective in improving functioning (WHO-DAS), lowering fatigue (CIS), food craving (GFCQ-T), and pain (Numeric Rating Scale)
    - more effective in lowering atypical-energy related symptoms (IDS atypical, energy-related symptom profile score)

    To better understand how and for whom celecoxib add-on treatment is effective, several biological makers are assessed:
    - inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, TNFa), cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, BMI, waist circumference
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
