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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.1.2Classification code 10008192
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess the effects of a 3-month regimen of clopidogrel initiated with a loading dose (LD) of 300mg followed by 75mg/day combined with ASA 75mg/day during the first month versus a 3-month regimen of ASA 75mg/day alone on reducing the occurrence of new ischemic vascular events (clinical ischemic stroke, new ischemic infarction on brain MRI, myocardial infarction, or vascular death) in patients with acute TIA/minor stroke
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess separately the effects of this clopidogrel regimen versus ASA alone on the incidence of:
    - New clinical ischemic vascular events (ischemic stroke/MI/vascular death) as a cluster and evaluated individually
    - New cerebral infarction(s) assessed by MRI
    To evaluate change in modified Rankin scale (continuous) and percentage with score 0-2 at last follow-up.
    To compare the safety of the two treatment regimens in terms of:
    - Severe or moderate bleeding (GUSTO definition)
    - Cerebral bleeding
    - Total mortality
    - AEs/SAEs
    To compare efficacy and safety by qualifying event, TIA vs. stroke.
    To compare efficacy and safety by time to randomization, <12 h vs. >12 h.

    In further exploratory analysis, to evaluate change in NIHSS score and cognitive function among survivors.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Assess the relationship between markers of systemic inflammation and/or plaque inflammation and rupture (hs CRP, IL6, myeloperoxydase, malondialdehyde-conjugated LDL, oxidized LDL) with risk of subsequent ischemic events (stroke, MI, vascular death) after TIA or minor stroke.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1) Male or female > or = 40 years
    2) TIA (> or = 10 minutes) or minor acute ischemic stroke (NIHSS < or = 3 at time of randomization) that can be treated with study drug within 24 hours of symptoms onset
    3) Informed consent signed
    4) Brain MRI scan performed within 24 hours of symptoms onset and prior to randomization
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Related to absolute contraindications to the use of clopidogrel and/or ASA:
    1) History of drug allergy to thienopyridine derivatives or ASA
    2) Severe uncontrolled hypertension despite treatment at the time of randomization
    3) History of clinically significant or persistent thrompocytopenia
    4) History of clinically significant or persistent neutropenia
    5) Women of child-bearing potential who are not following an effective method of contraception

    Related to concomitant or planned medication(s) / treatment(s):
    8) Absolute indication for the use of open-label clopidogrel, ticlopidine, GPIIb IIIa receptor antagonists, thrombolytics, heparin therapy or oral anticoagulation.
    9) Use of thrombolysis within 24 hours prior to randomization.
    10) Current treatment (last dose given within 10 days before randomization) with GPIIb IIIa receptor antagonists, , heparin therapy or oral anticoagulation.
    11) Absolute indication for higher dose of ASA (>75 mg/day) or ASA + dipyridamole
    12) Current or planned daily treatment with NSAIDs
    13) Planned or likely revascularization (any angioplasty or vascular surgery) within the next 3 months (if clinically indicated, vascular imaging should be performed prior to randomization whenever possible.)
    Related to TIA/Stroke characteristics:
    14) Diagnosis of hemorrhage, vascular malformation, tumor, abscess, or other major non-ischemic brain disease (e.g., multiple sclerosis plaque, major developmental anomaly) on baseline brain MRI
    15) Pure sensory symptoms, pure vertigo or dizziness, or pure visual loss without evidence of acute infarction on MRI
    16) Modified Rankin Score >2 at randomization
    17) NIH Stroke Scale Score >3 at randomization
    18) Presumed cardiac source of embolus (e.g. atrial fibrillation, prosthetic cardiac valves known or suspected endocarditis)
    Related to the presence of other medical problems that would either interfere with participation in the trial or lead to inability to complete the trial:
    19) Increased risk of bleeding, such as severe hepatic insufficiency, current peptic ulceration, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, history of severe systemic bleeding (e.g. gastrointestinal bleeding, gross hematuria, intraocular bleeding, symptomatic hemorrhagic stroke, or intracranial hemorrhage), or other history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
    20) Concomitant (or within previous month) myocardial infarction or unstable angina
    21) Presence of a severe co-morbid condition such that the patient is not expected to survive 1 year or which could interfere with the assessment of outcomes
    22) Scheduled for surgery requiring study drug cessation
    23) Receipt of any investigational treatment (drug or device) within the previous 30 days
    24) Geographic or social factors making study participation impractical
    25) Patient unable to understand the full meaning of the informed consent
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary efficacy endpoint:
    - Percentage of patients with a new ischemic vascular event, defined as any event of the following cluster:
