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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    09 Aug 2011
    Changes to protocol V2.0: • Section 1 Trial Personnel: Updated investigator team telephone numbers. • Section 8.2. Delete “Minimisation will be used to balance groups according to age and gender. This will reduce the imbalance between the active treatment and placebo groups” This was removed as the investigator and the statistician decided minimisation was not necessary. • Section 8.2: Delete” Brecon Pharmaceuticals” and change “UCLH” to “The Heart Hospital, UCLH Pharmacy”. Brecon Pharmaceuticals were left in the protocol in error as we had originally planned to use them. As per the CTA application form we will be using RFH Pharmacy Production. Changes to all other documents: Updated investigator team telephone numbers.
    19 Nov 2012
    Changes to protocol V3.0: Section 3.2.1 (Clinical Particulars): Updates made to therapeutic indications, contraindications and side effect table in light of updates to the SmPc Section 2.0 (Summary) and Section 6.1 (Inclusion Criteria): Updates made to the inclusion criteria to include patients with atrial fibrillation and also to clarify that patients who are fitted with a pacemaker are eligible. Expanded the inclusion criteria to include patients with atrial fibrillation as it is considered that this will increase recruitment by 10-20%. These individuals are usually asymptomatic and challenging to treat, so their inclusion is of clinical relevance. We have also clarified that patients with a pacemaker fitted are also eligible for the trial. Section 6.2 (Exclusion Criteria) Added ‘Participant has Parkinson’s disease or Parkinsonism’ as an exclusion in line with the updated SmPc. Annex 1 updated in line with changes to protocol. Non-substantial amendment documents also sent.
    10 Apr 2013
    Protocol V4.0 Creation of advert and patient invitation letter to increase recruitment rate to the trial. Protocol updated to incorporate use of advert and recruitment plan.
    15 Jan 2014
    Changes to protocol V5.0: • Addition of 3 PIC sites to enhance the recruitment rate to the trial. Sites will potentially be • The Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust • Barts Health NHS Trust • Guys and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
    01 Apr 2014
    Protocol V6.0 Change to the inclusion criteria: • No significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction on echocardiography at rest or during exercise (gradient < 50 mmHg) as determined at screening (if not done within previous 2 years).
