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   43858   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare the biochemical efficacy of Aspirin, Clopidegrel and Prasugrel in subjects with type 2 diabetes using a dual approach that investigates both platelet function and clot structure/fibrinolysis
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical trial, which involves the use of a medicinal product has been designed and will be run in accordance with the Principles of GCP and the current regulatory requirements, as detailed in the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004 (UK S.I. 2004 / 1031) and any subsequent amendments of the clinical trial regulations.. The right of any individual to refuse consent without giving reasons will be respected. Furthermore, the patient will remain free to withdraw from the study at any time without giving reasons and without prejudicing any further treatment. Each participant will be involved in the study for a maximum of 10 weeks. Patients will need to attend on 5 occasions. Additional visits will be arranged at subject request or if this is deemed clinically necessary. AEs will be collected for all patients and will be evaluated for duration and intensity according to the NCRI Common Toxicity Criteria.
    Background therapy
    Diabetes is associated with increased risk of vascular disease, including heart attack and strokes 1. People with diabetes also have a worse short and long term prognosis following a heart attack with a higher death rate, when compared to non-diabetics 2. Antiplatelet therapy is an established management strategy for secondary prevention from cardiovascular events in people with diabetes, although the role of this agent in primary prevention in these subjects remains unclear as the evidence is both limited and inconclusive. Aspirin and clopidogrel are the two main antiplatelet agents currently in use, and they differ in their mechanism of action. Aspirin affects platelet function by inhibiting an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase 1, which is important for the production of proteins involved in platelet activation. Furthermore, aspirin has a direct effect on the structure of blood clots, making them easier to breakdown (lyse) 3. Clopidogrel also inhibits the function of platelets but uses a different pathway by directly inhibiting platelet function through its action on a special receptor called P2Y12. In contrast to aspirin, the effects of this agent on clot structure and function are unknown. Prasugrel, a new antiplatelet agent that has recently obtained marketing authorization and that is now marketed in the UK, has a similar mode of action compared with clopidogrel but seems to have a superior clinical efficacy 4, which is probably related to greater and more consistent inhibition of platelet activation 5.
