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   44200   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7332   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
    Major burn injuries: Thermal related trauma with burn injury involving significant proportions of the total body surface area, as defined by age:

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Determine if oral or enteral feeding of a synbiotic product twice daily to victims of major thermal trauma reduces the incidence of infections.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Assess other potential benefits of synbiotic use in major thermal trauma, including: reductions in the length of hospital & ICU stay,
    reduction of burn depth progression,
    reduced healing times,
    improved scarring,
    modification of the stress response,
    reductions in catabolism,
    improved nutritional outcomes,
    reduction of the systemic inflammatory response,
    normalisation of coagulation,
    reductions in transfusion requirements,
    improvements in gastrointestinal function,
    improved availability of trace elements,
    reduction in electrolyte disturbances,
    improvements in lipid handling,
    improved trends in physiological scoring systems.

    Observe and assess for any side-effects of synbiotic administration.
