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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the present study is improvement of myocardial reperfusion, measured with ST-segment resolution >=70% 1 hour after PCI.
    Protection of trial subjects
    It was run according to the Declaration of Helsinki of Good Clinical Practice. Regulatory agencies and local ethics committees approved the study protocol. All patients gave written informed consent.

    Arm title
    Cyclosporine A
    Arm description
    Cyclosporine A. The investigational active treatment is CsA, an immunosopressant indicated for the prevention of acute rejection after organ transplant, including cardiac transplantation. The preparation used in the trial will be Sandimmun IV, contening CsA 50 mg/ml, Cremophor EL and 94% ethyl alchool in a 5 ml vial. Patients will received Cyclosporine A on the top of recommend standard care of acute myocardial infarction.

    Routes of administration
    Intravenous bolus use
    Dosage and administration details
    The bolus of 2.5 mg/kg of cyclosporine A was injected over 20 to 30 s into an antecubital vein after coronary angiography, but just before passage of the wire into the culprit artery (thus avoiding any wire-related dissolution/fragmentation of the occlusive thrombus), and at least 5 min before PCI, to allow distribution of the drug.
