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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients attending for unilateral, elective primary hip arthroplasty will be randomised into one of two groups, Treatment, and Control. :A verbal explanation of the trial and Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) will be provided by the authorised trial clinician for the patient to consider.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    It is essential that patients greater than 70 years old are recruited to the study. Many patients presenting for primary hip arthroplasty are in this age group and it is anticipated that reduced post operative morphine consumption in these patients will be of particular benefit.

    The ODP will complete a tick-box form on carbon paper which records the contents of the pain pump and the medicinal product batch numbers. The top copy will bear a patient information sticker and the other copy will have only the study reference number and no patient identifiable information. The top copy of the form is placed in a sealed, opaque envelope which is stapled to the inside of the patient’s notes. The other copy is placed in a sealed, opaque envelope and put into a secure storage
