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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate that the SC administration of 1 liter of Clinimix N9G15E is non-inferior to the peripheral IV administration of 1 liter of Clinimix N9g15E in terms of local side effects. The secondary objective was to assess safety and efficacy in terms of patients' nutritional parameters, clinical outcomes, and hydration status.
    Protection of trial subjects
    A patient could withdraw consent at any time for any reason. Patients were discontinued from the study if any of the following occurred during the course of the study: -Patient required enteral or other parenteral administration. -Patient or patient's legal authorized representative withdrew consent. -Patient enrolled in any other investigational study. -Onset of any serious or life threatening adverse event requiring discontinuation of study treatment. -Investigator's decision. -In case of the need for a second administration route switch. -Patient required therapeutic anticoagulation after enrollment in the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study population (geriatric) chosen represented one population with difficult venous access and where SC hydration has been effective. The population contained patients with many different disorders. Other populations with difficult venous access may benefit from the therapy (the study was not meant to be exclusive of other populations).

    The Clinimix N9G15E 1 L bag contained 27.5 g amino acids with electrolytes (Na, K, Ca, Mg, and PO4) and 75 g glucose, in separate chambers, providing a total of 410 kcal/L. The final osmolarity (after mixing) was 845 mOsm/L. All 1000 mL were planned to be infused over 12 hours, resulting in a rate of infusion of approximately 83 to 84 mL/hour, not exceeding a rate of 3 mL/kg/hour.

    Arm description
    Intravenous (IV) Treatment of Clinimix N9G15E at a dose of 1 liter was infused via peripheral IV over 12 hours for at least 7 and up to 10 consecutive days. Peripheral IV drips were to be changed by the local implementation of the local Comite' de Liaison en Alimentation et Nutrition (CLAN) recommendations. The peripheral IV lines used for administration of Clinimix were to be used only for administration of the study test product. After administration of the final dose of test product, the peripheral IV line was to be removed and the injection site was not to be used for 48 hours.

    Number of Patients with at Least One Major Local Side Effect
    End point description
    Major local side effects were evaluated before the start of and at the end of an infusion. An event reported at the start of an infusion was allocated to the route of the previous administration as the "12 hour later" assessment. If an AE occurred before a change/switch of administration route, it was attributed to the previous route. The event was considered a major local side effect if, during the infusion that the major local side effect was attributed to, the subject was infused with a least 800mL of study product and the infusion was between 8 and 16 hours in duration. This endpoint was defined as the occurrence of at least 1 of the following: large edema (diameter>10cm); blistering (diameter>2cm); erythema (diameter>10cm); phlebitis; cellulitis; or strong (unbearable) pain.
