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   43870   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7289   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.

    - Clinical status (WHO)
    -the need of any kind of supplementary oxygen

    Safety/tolerability secondary objective
    Plitidepsin vs the control in terms of adverse events, adverse reactions and mortality, abnormal laboratory parameters, of variations of vital signs in each group.
    Principale obiettivo secondario di efficacia
    Confrontare l'efficacia di plitidepsin rispetto al controllo in termini di clearance virale, in ciascun gruppo.

    Obiettivi secondari di efficacia
    Confrontare plitidepsin rispetto al controllo (in ciascun gruppo) in termini di:
    - conclusione duratura dell’assistenza ospedaliera
    - miglioramento sintomatico
    - stato clinico (OMS)
    - necessità di qualsiasi tipo di ossigenazione supplementare

    Obiettivi secondari di sicurezza
    Confrontare plitidepsin rispetto al controllo , in ciascun gruppo, in termini di eventi avversi, reazioni avverse e mortalità, parametri anomali di laboratorio e variazioni dei parametri vitali.

    *In case a direct measure of PaO2 has not been obtained, it should be imputed according to a referenced formula (Ellis or Rice) (Appendix 5 - Imputation of PaO2/FiO2 ratio). For sites located over 1000 m altitude above sea level, PaO2/FiO2 ratio will be adjusted (Appendix 6-
    Adjustment of PaO2 from a Site at High Altitude; See also Appendix 7 for FiO2 imputations from oxygen flow rates).
    • Shock requiring vasopressors.
    • Multi-organ dysfunction/failure.
    2. Patients already receiving concomitant treatment with antiviral therapy against SARS-CoV-2. Prior administration of an antiviral might be acceptable in the following circumstances:
    • For small molecules (e.g., remdesivir, molnupiravir, nirmaltrevir/ritonavir), they must have been given for an earlier stage of the disease, there should be a documentation of lack of clinical improvement plus evidence of persisting positivity for SARS-CoV-2 in appropriate biological samples (determined by a regulatory approved test, collected no more than 3 days prior to study randomisation, with either a Ct value <=30 or a positive antigen test), and a washout period > 24 h.
    • For antiviral monoclonal antibodies, they must have been given for an earlier stage of the disease (including pre-exposure prophylaxis), there should be a documentation of lack of clinical improvement plus evidence of persisting positivity for SARS-CoV-2 in appropriate biological samples (determined by a regulatory approved test, collected no more than 3 days prior to study randomisation, with either a Ct value <=30 or a positive antigen test), and a washout period of >= 5 days.
    3. Any of the following cardiac conditions or risk factors:
    • Cardiac infarction or cardiac surgery episode within the last month;
    • History of known congenital QT prolongation;
    • Known structural cardiomyopathy with abnormal LVEF (<50%);

    5. Females who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
    6. Females and males with partners of childbearing potential (females who are not surgically sterile or postmenopausal defined as amenorrhoea for >12 months) who are not using at least 1 protocol­specified method of contraception.

    8. Any other clinically significant medical condition (including major surgery within the last 3 weeks before screening) or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardise the safety of the patient or potentially impact on patient compliance or the safety/efficacy observations in the study.
    9. Participation in another clinical study involving an investigational drug within 30 days prior to screening.
    1. Evidenza di malattia critica, definita da almeno uno dei seguenti:

    *Nel caso in cui non sia stata ottenuta una misura diretta della PaO2, deve essere imputata secondo una formula di riferimento (Ellis o Rice) (Appendice 5 - Imputazione del rapporto PaO2/FiO2). Per i centri situati a un'altitudine superiore a 1000 m sul livello del mare, sarà modificato il rapporto PaO2/FiO2 (Appendice 6- Regolazione della PaO2 per centri ad alta quota; consultare anche l’Appendice 7 per le imputazioni di FiO2 dalle percentuali di flusso di ossigeno).

    8. Qualsiasi altra condizione medica clinicamente significativa (incluso un intervento chirurgico importante nelle ultime 3 settimane precedenti allo screening) o anomalia negli esami di laboratorio che, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, metterebbe a repentaglio la sicurezza del paziente o potrebbe avere un impatto sull’aderenza del paziente o sulle osservazioni di sicurezza/efficacia dello studio.
