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   43857   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    This pilot aims to test the feasibility of a large Randomised Control Trial (RCT). The full RCT is to compare the effectiveness of wound infusion catheter (WIC) and standard epidural analgesia following laparoscopic colectomy (key hole surgery to remove part of the large bowel) within an Enhanced Recovery Programme. The pilot will provide information on rates of recruitment, data collection and descriptive information on the outcome measures to aid power calculations (which tell us how many patients will be needed in the full RCT). It will also test the ability to successfully blind patients and research personnel to group allocation. This means that they will not know which treatment they are having, and hleps prevent the results from being biased.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colectomy for either benign or malignant tumour in the right, left or transverse colon with intention to cure.
    2. Aged 18 or over with Americal Society of Anaesthesiology (ASA) score I, II or III.
    3. Able and willing to provide written consent.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Transverse colon or rectal tumour.
    2. Locally advanced or widespread disease - stage T4 on CT scan - palpable mass or distant metastasis.
    3. Emergency admission or obstruction/perforation of bowel cancer.
    4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis).
    5. Known allergy to local anaesthetic.
    6. Multiple Sclerosis or chronic pain requiring regular strong opioid analgesia.
    7. Recent history of alcohol or drug abuse.
    8. Contraindication to epidural analgesia.
    9. Poor cognitive ability.
    10. Pregnant patients.
