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
    The main outcome is to assess whether increasing plasma nitrate by dietary means increases the time to onset of angina using a Modified Bruce Exercise Test.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was approved by the Scotland A Research Ethics Committee, subject to Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency regulation, and run in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. All patients signed an informed consent form.
    Background therapy
    Inorganic sodium nitrate will be made available through the manufacturers, Western Glasgow Infirmary Pharmacy, Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, G11 6NT and delivered to the Pharmacy at the study site packaged and labelled according to the manufacturers licence.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Male or female patients diagnosed with chronic stable angina of more than 2 months duration will be recruited and will be invited to read the information and consider if they wish to participate. Patients can be on background anti-anginal therapy, however this dose of background therapy has to ideally remain fixed during the trial.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Pts are identified while attend cardiology out-pt appts at study sites. Cardio techs performing routine exercise tolerance tests (usually as part of chest pain or follow-up clinic) will identify potential participants by virtue of positive exercise test. Pts with positive tests will be asked for permission to be contacted.
