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.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 Information not present in EudraCT
    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: Clinical history consistent with new onset, or a worsening pattern, of characteristicischemic chest pain occurring at rest or with minimal exertion (lasting longer than 10minutes) and planned to be managed with an early invasive strategy with intent toperform a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as early as possible within 24hours of randomization. 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: - Prior documented MI requiring hospitalization - Prior revascularization procedure (more than 3 months ago prior torandomization) - Cardiac catheterization showing significant CAD - Positive exercise test for myocardial ischemia - Other objective evidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease or c) Already elevated cardiac enzymes (e.g. CKMB) or biomarkers (troponin I or T) above the upper limit of normal. 2. Randomized within 24 hours of onset of the most recent episode of chest pain orsymptoms consistent with ischemia. 3. Written informed consent

Contraindication to the use of clopidogrel and/or ASA: ﾕ History of drug allergy to thienopyridine derivatives or ASA ﾕ History of clinically significant or persistent thrombocytopenia or neutropenia 5. Active bleeding or significant 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, hemorrhagic stroke, or intracranial hemorrhage), or other history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy 6. Uncontrolled hypertension 7. Previously entered in the study 8. Investigational treatment (drug or device) within the previous 30 days 9. Medical, geographic, or social factors making study participation impractical, or inability to provide written informed consent and to understand the full meaning of the informed consent
