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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Dysfunction of the lungs after open heart surgery.
    Dysfunktion af lungerne efter åben hjertekirurgi.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Impaired lung function, and hence oxidize ability, in patients who have undergone open heart surgery.
    Forringet lungefunktion, og deraf iltningsevne, hos patienter der har undergået åben hjertekirurgi.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment [E] - Therapeutic techniques [E02]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To investigate whether patients with a preoperative reduced pulmonary function have a better preserved oxygenation capacity after open heart surgery, using either pulmonary perfusion or pulmoplegia compared with TAVI and the control-group with standard ECC (Extra Corporal Circulation).
    At undersøge om patienter med præoperativ nedsat lungefunktion har en bedre bevaret oxygeneringsevne efter åben hjertekirurgi, ved anvendelse af enten pulmonal perfusion eller pulmoplegi sammenlignet med TAVI- og kontrolgruppen med standard ECC (ExtraCorporeal Circulation).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    - To investigate whether there is a difference in the postoperative oxygenation capacity in patients undergoing TAVI compared to open heart surgery, and to what extent this is due to the absence of the ECC triggered inflammatory response or a heart pump failure.
    - To investigate by an open lung biopsy, if there is a difference between the intervention groups compared to the TAVI and control group in the thickness of the wall and hence surface area of the alveoli as a cause of reduced oxygenation capacity.
    - Measuring, via a catheter placed in the right and the left atrium, the post-operative arterio-venous difference (AV difference) of the degree of activated alveolar macrophages (AMACs), white blood cells and other relevant inflammatory mediators of the intervention groups compared to TAVI and the control group, and biochemical analysis of differences in the inflammatory response of respectively the systemic and pulmonary circuit.
    - At undersøge om der er en forskel i den postoperative oxygeneringsevne hos patienter, der får fortaget TAVI sammenlignet med åben hjertekirurgi, og i hvor høj grad dette skyldes fraværet af det ECC udløste inflammatoriske respons eller et pumpesvigt.
    - At undersøge ved en åben lungebiopsi, om der er en forskel i alveolevæggens tykkelse og deraf overfladeareal for henholdsvis interventionsgrupperne overfor TAVI- og kontrolgruppen, som årsag til den nedsatte oxygeneringsevne.
    - At måle, via et kateter placeret i henholdsvis højre og venstre atrium, den postoperative arterio-venøse differens (AV-differensen) af graden af aktiveret alveolære makrofager (AMACs), leukocytter og andre relevante inflammatoriske mediatorer for interventionsgrupperne sammenlignet med TAVI- og kontrolgruppen, samt biokemiskanalyse af forskelle i det inflammatoriske respons for henholdsvis det systemiske og pulmonale kredsløb.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Selective pulmonary artery perfusion with oxygenated blood or pulmoplegia with Custodiol ® under the ECC can improve postoperative pulmonary function defined by the oxygenation index (OI) in patients that prior to open heart surgery have a reduced lung function (FEV1 below 80% of expected).
    Selektiv pulmonal perfusion med oxygeneret blod eller pulmoplegi med Custodiol® under ECC kan forbedre den postoperative lungefunktion defineret ved oxygenerings indekset (OI) hos patienter, der forud for åben hjertekirurgi, har en nedsat lungefunktion (FEV1 under 80% af det forventet).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The trial is initiated June 2012. We will in the initial phase include 2 patients per week. When the logistics of the experiment is in place, and whit staff recruitment, will the inclusion rate increase to 4 patients per week. It is envisaged to include a total of 120 patients and complete their follow-up over a period of 1 1/2 years. The experiment is expected to be complete in September 2014, and time point of evaluation of end points September 2015.

    Forsøget indledes juni 2012. Vi vil i startfasen inkludere 2 patient per uge. Når logistikken i forsøget er på plads, og ved ansættelse af personale, vil vi øge inklusionsraten til 4 patienter om ugen. Det påtænkes at inkludere i alt 120 patienter og afslutte deres opfølgning over en periode på 1 1/2 år. Forventet tidspunkt for færdig evaluering af slutpunkt er juni 2016.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    - Intubation time is shortened in patients undergoing open heart surgery, when pulmonary perfusion or pulmoplegia is used intra-operatively compared to the control group, receiving ECC using current practice.

    - LOS ICU (Intensive Care Unit Length of Stay) will be reduced in patients undergoing open heart surgery, when used pulmonary perfusion or pulmoplegia intra-operatively compared to the control group with standard ECC.

    - TAVI patients have a better preserved postoperative lung function compared with the control group, since the lack of ECC gives a reduced immunological response.

    - The inflammatory response, including the degree of activation AMAC, is reduced in patients undergoing open heart surgery, when pulmonary perfusion or pulmoplegia i used intra-operatively compared to the control group with standard ECC.

    - The degree of uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria is reduced with use of pulmonary perfusion or pulmoplegia under the ECC, when compared with the control group.
    - Intubationstiden forkortes hos patienter, der undergår åben hjertekirurgi, når der peroperativt anvendes pulmonal perfusion eller pulmoplegi sammenlignet med kontrolgruppen, der får ECC efter aktuel praksis.

    - ICU-LOS (Intensive Care Unit Length of Stay) nedsættes hos patienter, der har fået foretaget åben hjertekirurgi, når der peroperativt anvendes pulmonal perfusion eller pulmoplegi sammenlignet med kontrolgruppen med standard ECC.

    - Patienter, der får fortaget TAVI, har en bedre bevaret postoperativ lungefunktion sammenlignet med kontrolgruppen, da fraværet af EEC giver et reduceret immunologisk respons.

    - Det inflammatoriske respons, herunder graden af AMAC aktivering, reduceres, når der under ECC anvendes enten pulmonal perfusion eller pulmoplegi sammenlignet med aktuel praksis.

    - Graden af afkoblingen af den oxidative phosphorylering i mitokondrierne nedsættes ved brug af pulmonal perfusion eller pulmoplegi under ECC, sammenlignet med kontrolgruppen.
