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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the efficacy of Ranolazine administered as 3 different doses regimens versus placebo in the maintenance of sinus rhythm after electrical cardioversion in patients with non-permanent Atrial Fibrillation (defined as a continuous Atrial Fibrillation with a minimum duration of 7 days to a maximum of 6 months or requiring termination by cardioversion).
    Protection of trial subjects
    If any event(s) related to the conduct of the study or the development of the IMP affects the safety of the study participants, the sponsor and the Investigator will take appropriate urgent safety measures to protect the patients against any immediate hazard. The CAs and IRB/ECs will be informed forthwith about these new events and the measures taken. For patients participating in the study, Menarini Ricerche S.p.A. has stipulated an insurance policy in accordance with local regulatory requirements.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The first patient was screened on 18 Jan 2012. The last patient completed the study on 30 Sep 2013. The study was conducted at 45 investigational sites in 4 European countries.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 A total of 310 patients were screened and underwent cardioversion (CV). Of these, 241 were still in sinus rhythm 2 hours post-CV and could be enrolled. Three patients were randomised but did not take study medication. Finally, a total of 238 patients were randomised and took at least one dose of study (ITT population).

    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: A total of 310 patients were screened and underwent cardioversion. Of these, 241 were still in sinus rhythm 2 hours post-CV and could be enrolled. Three patients were randomised but did not take study medication. Finally, a total of 238 patients were randomised and took at least one dose of study, forming the ITT population and represent the baseline population.
