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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 find out if the routine use of hyoscine-N- butylbromide is beneficial in colonoscopy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Normal precautions of the colonoscopic procedure. Patients with severe comorbidities or with any medications with potential interactions with hyoscine-N- butylbromide were excluded . Patients were monitored with a pulse oximetry.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    218 outpatients scheduled for diagnostic colonoscopy fulfilling the eligibility criteria on the basis of the referral were recruited.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The eligibility criteria included age between 45 and 75 years, ability to complete a questionnaire, and no history of intolerance to HBB. Patients on anticholinergic medication including tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or with a history of colonic resection, serious comorbidity

    Blinding implementation details
    The patients were randomized in blocks of six by opening a sealed envelope to receive either HBB (HBB group) or saline (placebo group) i.v. The envelopes had been coded and sealed by a person not attending the trial in any other way. An injection of 10 mg (0,5 ml) HBB or an equivalent volume of saline was administered were administered and the heart rate monitored by a nurse not attending the colonoscopic procedure.
