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 investigate the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of dabigatran etexilate (75 mg twice daily) in patients with severe CKD (eGFR 15 - 30 ml/min).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all patients as required. Based on the proven efficacy of dabigatran etexilate in NVAF patients, and the different safeguards and procedures implemented to protect patient safety, the benefit/risk ratio in this trial was considered as positive.
    Background therapy
    No background therapy was given to the subjects

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    04 Jul 2013
    1] The maximum number of participating patients was increased from 15 to 20. 2] An additional aPTT measurement was added at 155:30 h planned time to better monitor patient safety and the total amount of blood taken from each patient was updated. At the same time the physical examination at 167:30 h planned time was removed, as a physical examination at screening only was considered sufficient. 3] Treatment non-compliance was more clearly defined and added as a reason for removal of individual patients from the trial. 4] At the end of the treatment period, patients previously on aspirin were allowed to re-start aspirin already at 192 h planned time (instead of 240 h), as this was not going to interfere with any of the pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic analyses. 5] It was clarified that patients were not allowed to eat for 1 h (instead of 2 h) before any of the blood samplings. 6] A definition of significant adverse events was added. 7] The allowed time between sampling and centrifugation was defined for samples taken at an external location. 8] An interim analysis was allowed during this trial, if needed. Another amendment was added on 30 January 2014 which stated that: Minor clarifications as well as additional creatinine measurements at 9 time points (-0:30 h, 23:30 h, 47:30 h,71:30 h, 95:30 h, 119:30 h, 115:30 h, 167:30 h, and 180:00 h planned time), in order to better monitor fluctuations in creatinine values due to the status of the patient’s renal impairment and analyse any effect of these fluctuations on pharmacokinetic parameters. Moreover, it was defined that plasma creatinine values were determined using a Roche Cobas analyser, so that the samples could be measured in the central laboratory. The above amendment is not provided as a separate amendment as we are getting an error as "global end of the trial date is before the protocol amendment date".
