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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Upper limb spasticity following stroke
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To compare the upper limb (UL) function of patients with spasticity due to stroke who receive botulinum toxin injection(s) to the upper arm and/or forearm flexors/hand/shoulder girdle plus a four week evidence based UL therapy programme (intervention group) with subjects who receive the UL therapy programme alone (control group) one month after study entry.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • To compare the upper limb (UL) function and impairment of patients with spasticity due to stroke who receive botulinum toxin injection(s) to the upper arm and/or forearm flexors/hand/shoulder girdle plus a four week evidence based UL therapy programme (intervention group) with subjects who receive the UL therapy programme (control group) 3 and 12 months after study entry.
    • To compare attainment of patient-selected UL goals, disability and stroke related quality of life between intervention and control groups at 1, 3 and 12 months.
    • To seek the experience and views of patients about UL botulinum toxin treatment and the UL therapy programme
    • To compare the health and social services resources used by control and intervention groups
    • To report adverse events and compare the use of other antispasticity treatments between intervention and control groups.
    • To investigate the influence of severity of UL impairment, time since stroke, and baseline muscle activity.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria

    • Willing and able to participate in UL therapy programme.
    • Patient must be able and willing to understand and comply with the requirements of the protocol and the UL therapy programme.
    •Written informed consent before completing any study-related procedure (any assessment or evaluation that would not have formed par of their normal care). Patient must be able and willing to understand and comply with the requirements of the protocol and the UL therapy programme.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    •Significant speech or cognitive impairment which will impede assessment
    •Other significant upper limb impairment e.g. fracture or frozen shoulder within 6 months, severe arthritis, amputation.

    •Female patients at risk of pregnancy who are not willing to take adequate precautions against pregnancy for the duration of the study.
    •Diagnosis likely to interfere with rehabilitation or outcome assessments e.g. registered blind, malignancy.
    •Other diagnosis which may contribute to upper limb spasticity e.g. multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy.
    •Contraindications to intramuscular injection.
    •Religious objections to blood products(botulinum toxin contains human albumin)
