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.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Haemodynamic collapse at presentation as defined above
    - Known significant bleeding risk
    - Administration of thrombolytic agents within the previous 4 days
    - Vena cava filter insertion or pulmonary thrombectomy within the previous 4 days
    - Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic BP >180 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP >110 mm Hg at randomization
    - Treatment with an investigational drug under another study protocol in the previous 7 days or greater, according to local requirements
    - Previous enrollment in this study
    - Known hypersensitivity to tenecteplase, alteplase, unfractionated heparin, or to any of the excipients

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    - Clinical composite endpoint of all-cause mortality or haemodynamic collapse within 7 days

    Haemodynamic collapse is defined as:
    - need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation; or
    - systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg for at least 15 min or drop of systolic blood pressure by at least 40 mm Hg for at least 15 min with signs of end organ hypoperfusion (cold extremities or low urinary output < 30 mL/h or mental confusion); or
    - the need for catecholamines to maintain adequate organ perfusion and a systolic blood pressure of >90 mm Hg (including dopamine at the rate of >5 micrograms / kg per minute).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Seven days after randomization
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary efficacy outcomes:
    1) death from any cause within 7 days;
    2) hemodynamic collapse (as defined above) within 7 days;
    3) imaging-confirmed symptomatic recurrence of PE within 7 days;
    4) death within 30 days;
    5) death within 6 months.


    Safety outcomes
    1) ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke within 7 days;
    2) other major (i.e., moderate or severe) bleeding within 7 days;
    3) serious adverse events within 30 days. Moderate bleeding is defined as a bleeding episode requiring blood transfusion(s), but which is not considered life-threatening and does not lead to hemodynamic compromise requiring emergency fluid replacement, inotropic support, or interventional/surgical treatment. Severe bleeding is defined as an episode that leads to hemodynamic compromise requiring emergency intervention (as administration of fluids and/or blood products, inotropic support, or surgical treatment), or is life-threatening or fatal.
