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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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
    CLEAR IVH, a Phase II dose-finding study, tested the ability of different doses of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA, Cathflo®; Genentech, Inc.) to lyse intraventricular blood clots. Subjects experiencing spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) extension were enrolled according to protocol. Major selection criteria were: 1) presence of ICH ≤ 30cc; 2) acute obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to large intraventricular hemorrhage; and 3) stability of IVH and ICH size over a 6-hour period of observation with CT scanning. Pregnant women and children were not enrolled. There were no major changes to the protocol; minor changes included an increased enrollment time window and clarifications to dosage discontinuation rules.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Protection of trial subjects: 1. Adherence to inclusion and exclusion criteria during screening 2. Explaining potential risks to participants during informed consent 3. Ethical / Institutional Review Board and DSMB team to evaluate safety of the study drug 4. Subject confidentiality 5. Human Subjects Research Training completed for all study staff. 6. Women who become pregnant during the follow-up period will be followed through 6 month visit to document clinical and functional outcome but no CT scans will be done. 7. All subjects stabilized for at least 6 hours prior to the first dose of test article. 8. All adverse events monitored throughout the initial hospitalization and during the 6 month follow-up period 9. All infections reported to the safety and monitoring committee for an independent assessment of clinical significance

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Nov 2005
    Substantial Amendment The Notice of Acceptance was for the dose frequency phase of this study but at that time the dose finding stage had not been analysed. The dose finding phase has now been completed and a decision made about the dose level. For this phase the dose level will be 1.0mg. Following on from completion of the dose finding phase and from experience in that phase the project team at Johns Hopkins have made some amendments to the protocol. These were submitted to the appropriate ethical committee who requested further changes. These have all been incorporated in the attached documents. Documents enclosed include Notification of Amendment Form Updated Request for Authorisation Form Summary of changes from original Request for Authorisation Form Protocol Version 5.2 dated 24 October 2005 Summary of changes from protocol version 4.1 dated 15/03/2005 to protocol version 5.2 dated 24/10/2005.
    24 Aug 2006
    Substantial Amendment 2 The proposed number of patients in the first tier of the dose-frequency stage of this study has been recruited and the initial data have been analysed. A decision has been made by the Data and Safety Monitoring Board and the Steering Committee that more data are needed to further evaluate the 1.0mg q8hr dose. The current tier has therefore been expanded from 12 patients to 24. To date no patients have been recruited in the UK. The Protocol has not been amended and there are no changes to the information provided in the Request for Authorisation Form. However I enclose the following documents: Notification of Amendment Form Safety Report : Stage 2 Dose Tier 1 Results Letter from DSMB
