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   43881   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objectives of this study are to determine a) the adrenal suppression potential and b) the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of CB-03-01 Cream, 1% in subjects with acne vulgaris
    Protection of trial subjects
    Approval on the conduct of the trial was obtained by an IRB and by the FDA prior to study initiation. The study protocol, consent/assent form, participant recruitment materials/process, and other relevant documents were submitted for approval in compliance with the requirements set forth in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 56.107 to 56.115. The study was conducted in accordance with principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, with the current Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guideline and with other applicable regulations.

    Primary: Change in HPA Axis Response to Cosyntropin

    End point title
    Change in HPA Axis Response to Cosyntropin [1]
    End point description
    Measurement of serum cortisol concentrations after stimulation of the adrenal cortex with cosyntropin injection (Cosyntropin Stimulation Test - CST). Prior to CST, a pre-CST blood sample is taken between 7AM to 9AM. Thirty minutes after CST, a post-CST blood sample is collected. HPA axis suppression is defined as a post-stimulation serum cortisol level ≤ 18 μg/dL at Day 14.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: All analyses were descriptive. Serum cortisol results were summarized for evaluable subjects. HPA axis responses to CST were dichotomized to normal and abnormal.

    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Any treatment emergent AEs ongoing at the end of the treatment period (Day 14) were followed until they resolve, the condition stabilizes, the events are otherwise explained, or the subject is lost to follow-up. In addition, all SAEs were followed until resolution as previously stated for study product-related AEs.
