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   44335   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.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To determine whether a high dose regimen of clopidogrel (600 mg loading dose [LD] followed by 150 mg once daily (o.d) from Day 2 to 7, then 75 mg o.d) is superior to a standard dose of clopidogrel (300 mg LD followed by 75 mg o.d) in preventing the composite of cardiovascular death, MI or stroke (first co-primary endpoint) and/ or the composite of cardiovascular death, MI, stroke or recurrent ischemia (second co-primary endpoint) in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS) who are treated with an early invasive strategy with an intent to perform PCI as early as possible within 24 hours of randomization.
    Also to determine, in a factorial design, whether a high dose of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is superior to a low dose of ASA in preventing the composite of cardiovascular death, MI or stroke (first co-primary endpoint) and/ or the composite of cardiovascular death, MI, stroke or recurrent ischemia (second co-primary endpoint).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the safety of the clopidogrel high dose regimen compared to the standard dose regimen in terms of major bleeding (i.e. severe bleeding and other major bleeding).To evaluate the safety of the ASA high dose regimen (300-325 mg) compared to the low dose (75-100mg) regimen in terms of major bleeding (i.e. severe bleeding and other major bleeding).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Full title of the sub-study : Effect of type of access for PCI (Radial or Femoral) on bleeding rate.

    Date : 2006-03-23

    Version : 01

    Sub-study objectives :
    - To determine if a trans-radial access approach is superior to a trans-femoral access site approach in terms of reducing major bleeding, need for blood transfusion and vascular access site complications.
    - To compare ischemic complications, including death, MI, recurrent ischemia and stroke between a trans-radial versus a trans-femoral approah.
    - To compare each strategy in terms of duration of the procedure, amount of contrast dye used, proportion of patients developing contrast induced nephropathy, need for conversion to an alternative access route and costs incurred.
    - To determine if radial artery access site procedures lead to shorter hospital stays compared with femoral access site procedures.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Ischemic symptoms suspected to represent a non-ST segment elevation ACS (unstable angina [UA] or non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction [NSTEMI]) defined as:

    AND at least one of the following
    a) Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes compatible with new ischemia [ST depression of at least 1mm or transient ST elevation or ST elevation of less than or equal to 1 mm or T wave inversion greater than 2 mm in at least 2 contiguous leads].
    or
    b) Patients > 60 years of age with normal ECG are eligible provided there is a high degree of certainty that presenting symptoms are due to myocardial ischemia. Such patients must have documented evidence of previous coronary artery disease (CAD) with at least one of the following:
