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   43861   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
    To evaluate the effect of continues prostacyclin infusion in patient undergoing major abdominal surgery. Main endpoint is change in concentration of endothelial activation markers from baseline to discharger from postoperative ward or 24 hours postoperatively, whichever comes first.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients included in this trial is admitted to the hospital undergoing surgery and will be closely monitored according to standard practice at all time.

    Blinding implementation details
    Patients were randomized to either prostacyclin or placebo 8saline). Both are colorless fluid and it’s not possible to distinct those from each other. The infusion is given in a blinded manner, thus either the patient or the treating physician know what the patients receive.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: As these pateints are severily ill, AE are not recorded as seperate AE but as part of the patients regular medical chart.
