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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the trial was to assess the effect of BQ-123 on enzymatic infarct size (CK-MB area under the curve).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted according to the principles of Good Clinical Practice and the Declaration of Helsinki and in agreement with the Austrian laws and regulation. The Ethics Committee of the Medical University of Vienna approved the trial. As BQ-123 was applied during cardiac surgery for the first time, the study was divided into a "pilot phase" and a "main trial" in order to improve safety. During the "pilot phase", which was intended to precede the "main trial", 30 subjects were randomized to receive either the placebo or half (3.75 µmol in the first and last cardioplegia, in total 7.5 µmol) of the in the "main trial" planned BQ-123 dose. Catecholamines given at the time of termination of surgery were the saftey endpoint. Further safety measures included the performance of liver function tests after BQ-123 administration, postoperative blood pressure measurements and the assessment of postoperative catecholamine requirements.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients who were scheduled for on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting at the Medical University of Vienna were assessed for eligibility. A sample size of a total of 120 subjects was calculated ("pilot trial": 30 subjects; "main trial": 90 subjects). The trial was discontinued after the "pilot phase".

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 36 patients signed the informed consent to participate in the trial. Of them, 30 subjects were randomized.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 36 subjects were enrolled in the trial. Of them, 6 patients were excluded from the trial prior to randomization and drug administration. Reasons for exclusion from the trial included the following: consent withdrawn by subject (1 patient), organizational reason (1 patient), physician decision (1 patient), and exclusion criterion (3 patients).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    11 Apr 2012
    The primary endpoint of the study was changed from "coronary artery bypass graft blood flow assessed by Doppler flow probe measurement 15 minutes after protamine administration" to "area under the curve (AUC) of myocard specific creatinephosphokinase-MB isoform (CK-MB)". A new calculation of the required sample size was performed based on the primary endpoint AUC of CK-MB evaluated 2, 4, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the operation. A sample size of 45 patients in each group was calculated. As this medication was applied during cardiac surgery for the first time, a pilot phase with 30 participants (15 treated with half dose BQ-123 and 15 placebo) was additionally implemented. The performance of a proteomic analysis of blood and plasma samples was added to the protocol. Exclusion criteria were changed to: • Significant liver disease (transaminases and/or gamma-GT > 3 fold upper limit) • Glomerular filtration rate < 40mL/h • History of severe congestive heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction < 35%) • Current atrial fibrillation • Significant valvular heart disease requiring valve replacement • Primary myocardial disease • Acute coronary syndrome or cardiogenic shock (sRR < 90mmHg or need for inotropic support) • Women with child-bearing potential • Subjects with contraindications for CMR (cardiac magnetic resonance) • Inability to read, understand and sign the informed consent • Life expectancy <1y • Prior organ transplantation • Participation in a clinical trial using an investigational medical product

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes

    Restart date
    15 Oct 2015
    The study was stopped after finishing the "pilot phase". The "main trial" was never started.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Preop. CK-MB levels were not measured. Postop. CK-MB levels couldn't be measured in all samples (17.8% of the data are missing). Non-serious adverse events were assessed by retrospective medical chart review several years after the study was stopped.
