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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    perioperative inflammation in patients undergoing oesophagectomy.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    patients who need surgery for oesophageal cancer are at high risk of post-operative inflammation and lung damage due to the extent and duration of the surgery.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Cancer [C04]
    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
    The aim of this study is to establish whether giving patients undergoing removal of the oesophagus for cancer vitamin d as a single dose reduces the inflammation and lung damage that occurs as a result of the surgical trauma. The primary outcome measure is the increase in lung water pre-post operative comparing dummy drug (placebo) with vitamin D. This is a marker of lung damage that is increased in patients following oesophagectomy.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary outcomes are safety and tolerability data- blood biochemistry, medication related side effects as well as markers of inflammation in the blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid that may be influenced by vitamin d.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • • Planned transthoracic oesophagectomy for oesophageal carcinoma at a participating centre. • Men aged over 18 years on day of first dose of IMP • Women over the age of 55 or more than 2 years since menopause. • Women of potential child bearing age (under 55 and less than 2 years since menopause) may be recruited provided they agree to use contraception during the pre- post operative period (8 weeks). • Ability to give written informed consent to participate in the study.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • known intolerance of vitamin D. • known sarcoidosis, hyperparathyroidism, or nephrolithiasis. • taking more than 1000iu/day vitamin D supplementation in the month preceding enrolment. • known serum corrected calcium >2.65 mmol/L. • undergoing haemodialysis. • Pregnant or breastfeeding. • Taking cardiac glycoside, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone or long-term immunosuppressant therapy. • Patients taking benzothiadiazine derivatives at doses higher than that which is recommended in the BNF • Patients taking benzothiadiazine derivative in combination with a calcium supplement • Patients with tuberculosis or lymphoma. • Individuals taking a dietary supplement containing > 1000 IU of vitamin D/day up to 1 months before first dose of IMP vitamin D will not be eligible to participate in the study and must not take additional supplements for the duration of the trial. • Diagnosis of COPD with an FEV1 less than 50% predicted or resting oxygen saturations of less 92%.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Post-operative extrascular lung water index. This will be measured at the end of the operation once one lung ventilation has ceased.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    This will be assessed at the start of the operation, at the end (primary outcome) and daily post-operatively whilst the necessary central and arterial lines are in situ.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary endpoints are: 1) Clinical markers indicative of lung injury: P:F ratio, oxygenationindex, development of lung injury / ARDS day 0-28, duration of ventilation and organ failure,survival). 2) Safety and tolerability of vitamin D supplementation. 3) Plasma indices of endothelial and alveolar epithelial function/ injury. 4) Plasma inflammatory response. 5) Plasma LL-37 levels 6) plasma vitamin D status (25D3, 1,25D3 and VDBP) 7) EVLWI post-operative day 1
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
