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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    An explorative study investigating the potential therapeutic effects of asasantin retard in patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon and systemic sclerosis through assessment of treatment effects on:
    1) the clinical severity of Raynaud's phenomenon
    2) the finger blood flow response to cold stress test (assessed using thermal and laser speckle imaging)
    3) Platelet function testing assessed using aggregometry
    4) blood markers of platelet activation and endothelial damage
    5) level of oxidative stress
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1) Assessment of the reproducibility of the cold challenge test assessed using thermal imaging and laser contrast speckle imaging in patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon and systemic sclerosis.

    2) Assessment of the "validity" of a series of biomarkers of platelet activation and aggregometry in predicting subtype and severity of disease, in patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon and systemic sclerosis i.e. do levels of these markers correlate with disease type and severity in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon and systemic sclerosis.

    3) Comparison between platelet function in PRP vs SSc and response to asasantin retard therapy.

    4) Assessment of markers of oxidative stress in patients with primary Raynaud's and systemic sclerosis and the potential therpeutic effects of asasantin retard therapy

    This is a proof of concept exploratory phase 2 pilot study and has not been designed to comprehensively investigate the safety and efficacy of aspirin and dipyridamole in the treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon and systemic sclerosis. Participants will therefore not have continued provison of the study medication at the end of the study period. This will be made clear at the outset and has been included on the participant information sheet.
