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   44020   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7318   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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    This is a study of the long term safety of dabigatran (intended indication: stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation).Eligible patients received dabigatran during the RE-LY trial 1160.26.At the time of entry into RE-LY, patients had at least one risk factor for stroke (1) congestive heart failure, 2) left ventricular dysfunction, 3) age >75, 4) age >65 years with hypertension, diabetes or coronary artery disease or 5) previous stroke, systemic embolism or transient ischemic attack)
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    This trial has two main objectives:

    1. To evaluate the long-term safety of two doses of dabigatran.

    2. To evaluate the efficacy of patient customized audit and feedback compared to general information on best practice to reduce cardiovascular outcomes.

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Randomization to dabigatran in RE-LY and not permanently discontinued from dabigatran at the time of RE-LY termination visit
    2. Patient must require long-term treatment with oral anticoagulation and investigator determines it is clinically appropriate for patient to continue receiving oral anticoagulation.
    3. Written, informed consent
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Need for anticoagulant treatment for disorders other than atrial fibrillation
    2. Plan to cure of AF
    3. Patients with prosthetic heart valves
    4. gastroduodenal ulcer disease
    5. Severe renal impairment
    6. Anaemia or thrombocytopenia
    7. Uncontrolled hypertension
    8. Active liver disease
    9. Active infective endocarditis
    10. Women who are pregnant, lactating or of childbearing potential who refuse to use a medically acceptable form of contraception throughout the study
    11. Patients who have received an investigational drug other than dabigatran in the past 30 days or are participating in another drug study.
    12. Other reasons for which Investigator determines patient icannot safely participate
    13. Current use of quinidine

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    1. Since the objective of this trial is safety, there are no primary efficacy endpoints related to the evaluation of dabigatran. Safety will primarily be determined by the occurrence of major bleeding.
    2. The primary endpoint for knowledge translation component is the composite endpoint of vascular death, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), non-CNS systemic embolism, major bleeding and hospitalization for heart failure.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    1. end of trial; after 28 months
    2. end of trial; after 28 months
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    1. Safety: Stroke (including hemorrhagic), non-CNS systemic
    embolism, pulmonary embolism, acute MI, DVT, and all
    deaths (includes deaths from bleeding)
    2. Knowledge translation:
    1. Cardiovascular hospitalization
    2. Major bleeding, minor bleeding
    3. Change in control of the cardiovascular risk profile
    4. Change in the quality of atrial fibrillation care
