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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    Reduktion des Impairment Level SumScore (ISS) um mehr als 50% (Oerlemans, Goris et al. 1998)

    Der ISS setzt sich zusammen aus 5 Items:
    • Visuelle Analogskala (VAS)
    • McGill Pain Questionnaire
    • Differenz der Hauttemperatur zwischen betroffener und nicht betroffener Seite
    • Differenz des Hand- bzw. Fußvolumens (Ödem) betroffene vs. nicht betroffene Seite
    • Differenz des aktiven Bewegungsumfanges von insgesamt 5 Gelenken

    Die Rohdaten der einzelnen Items werden in eine Skala von 1-10 transformiert, so dass der Score eine Punktzahl von 5– 50 annehmen kann.
    Der Hauptzielparameter wird zu Beginn und am Ende, d.h. nach 3 Monaten, der Phase I, und zu Beginn und am Ende der Phase II bestimmt. Der Behandlungserfolg innerhalb der beiden Phasen wird durch die Differenz des ISS am Beginn und am Ende beschrieben, d.h. ΔISS = ISSBeginn – ISSEnde.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    • Pain disability score
    • begleitende Schmerzmedikation bzw. der Anzahl notwendiger Sympathikusblockaden
    • Titer antineuronalen Autoantikörper im Serum
    • Verbesserung der Lebensqualität (SF-36)
    • Konzentration B-Zell-aktivierender Faktoren (BAFF / APRIL) im Serum
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Schriftliche Einverständniserklärung („informed consent“)
    • Alter mindestens 18 und höchstens 80 Jahre
    • Diagnose eines CRPS I nach den IASP Kriterien (Harden, Bruehl et al. 2007)
    s. Kapitel 5.3.4
    • Hauttemperatur an der betroffenen Extremität gleich oder wärmer als die Gegenseite
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Immunsuppressive Therapie in den letzten 3 Monaten
    • Selektiver IgA-Mangel
    • Schwere Herzerkrankung in der Anamnese (z.B. instabile Angina pectoris, Herzinfarkt innerhalb eines Jahres vor Studieneinschluss, Kardiomyopathie, Herzinsuffizienz schwerer als NYHA-Stadium II, implantierter Defibrillator, Z.n. Herzstillstand)
    • Tumorerkrankung in den letzten 5 Jahren in der Anamnese
    • Allergie gegen einen oder mehrere Bestandteile der Prüfsubstanz
    • Niereninsuffizienz > Grad 2
    • Teilnahme an einer anderen klinischen Studie oder < 3 Monate nach Beendigung einer vorangegangenen Studie
    • Impfung mit Lebendimpfstoff in den letzten 3 Monaten
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Der primäre Zielparameter zur Beschreibung des Therapieerfolgs ist der „Impairment Level SumScore“ (ISS) (Oerlemans, Goris et al. 1998). Der ISS setzt sich zusammen aus 5 Items:
    • Visuelle Analogskala (VAS) beurteilt für Schmerz bei Anstrengung
    • McGill Pain Questionnaire (Anzahl der Worte, die von einer Liste von Adjektiven gewählt werden)
    • Differenz der Hauttemperatur zwischen betroffener und nicht betroffener Seite
    • Differenz des Hand- bzw. Fußvolumens (Ödem) betroffene vs. nicht betroffene Seite
    • Differenz des aktiven Bewegungsumfanges von insgesamt 5 Gelenken
    Die Rohdaten der einzelnen Items werden in eine Skala von 1-10 transformiert, so dass der Score eine Punktzahl von 5 (wenig Symptome) – 50 (starke Symptome) annehmen kann.
    Der Hauptzielparameter wird zu Beginn und am Ende, d.h. nach 3 Monaten, der Phase I, und zu Beginn und am Ende der Phase II bestimmt. Der Behandlungserfolg innerhalb der beiden Phasen wird durch die Differenz des ISS am Beginn und am Ende beschrieben, d.h. ΔISS = ISSBeginn – ISSEnde.
