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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.

    • Characterize the safety profile of namodenoson in subjects with NASH.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • Evaluate the efficacy of orally administered namodenoson in subjects with NASH, as determined by the mean Percent Change From Baseline (PCFB) in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels at Week 36; and
    • Assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of namodenoson in this population.

    2. Other active acute or chronic liver disease, such as autoimmune hepatitis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcoholic liver disease, or hepatocellular carcinoma.
    3. Seropositivity for markers of viral hepatitis or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at Screening. (Notes: If anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody is positive, a negative HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) test is required for entry. Any prior treatment for HCV must have been completed at least 2 years prior to the qualifying liver biopsy.)
    4. Weight loss of >5% within 3 months prior to Baseline.
    5. History of bariatric surgery within 5 years of Screening.
    6. Diabetes mellitus other than Type II.
    7. Hemoglobin A1c >9.0% (subjects with diabetes).
    8. Any contraindication to percutaneous liver biopsy.
    9. Daily alcohol intake >20 g (2 units=2 standard drinks)/day for women and 30 g (3 units=3 standard drinks)/day for men (on average), as per Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) questionnaire at Screening or Baseline.
    10. Treatment with therapeutic doses of Vitamin E (≥800-1000 IU daily), or any of the following anti-diabetic medications: GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as Januvia [sitagliptin], Byetta [incretin], etc.), pioglitazone, or SGLT2 inhibitors (“gliflozin” drugs); unless the dose and regimen has been stable for at least 3 months prior to Screening.
    11. Active rheumatoid arthritis treated with small-molecule (including methotrexate) or biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic agent concurrently or within 1 year prior to Screening.
    12. Use of any immunosuppressive medication, anti-inflammatory monoclonal antibody treatment, or chronic systemic corticosteroids >10 mg prednisone-equivalent concurrently or within 1 year prior to Screening.
    13. More than 7 days of treatment with valproic acid, tamoxifen, amiodarone, or anti-cholinergic agents within 3 months prior to Screening.

    15. Concomitant use of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitors and/or substrates with a narrow therapeutic index unless the medication can be taken at least 3 hours before or after taking the investigational product (see Section 12.2).
    16. Uncontrolled or clinically unstable thyroid disease, in the judgment of the Principal Investigator.
    17. Concurrent intensive induction chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or biologic treatment for active malignancy.
    18. Uncontrolled arterial hypertension or congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Classification 3 or 4), or other heart disease which is, in the Investigator’s judgment, clinically unstable.

    25. Ongoing or planned use of a concomitant medication that is on the CredibleMedsTM list of drugs known to cause Torsades des Pointes (Appendix 1);
    26. Active gastrointestinal disease which could interfere with the absorption of oral medication.
    27. Any severe, acute, or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, may interfere with the informed consent process and/or with compliance with the requirements of the study, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the investigator’s opinion, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
