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.

    • To compare the technical performance of both DSC-MRP and ASL-MRP in a cohort of subjects with mental decline – in regard of image quality and image artifacts.
    • To assess Gadobutrol as a contrast agent in DSC-MRP in patients with MCI or minor AD.
    • To compare the quantitative results of cerebral blood flow measures in both DSC- and ASL-MRP in an intraindividual comparison.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    All images will be evaluated for technical adequacy by on site and off site readers to check their eligibility. A blinded read will be performed off site using appropriate technology and equipment. The preparation of the reading will be adhering to international quality standards and documented accordingly. On site, the MR perfusion source data will be analyzed in a standardized way using the Siemens "MRPerf" software. This software generates color-coded parameter maps of mean transit time (MTT), time to peak (TTP), relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF). Furthermore, a global bolus plot (GBP) is calculated, showing the time course of the global T2* signal. CE-MRA will be reconstructed on site as rotating thick slice maximum intensity projections (MIP). The blinded readers will have access to the source data, as well as the MIPs. For both DSC- and ALS-MRP, the visual (qualitative) image analysis in the blinded read will comprise a dedicated simultaneous matched-pairs assessment from both examinations together. The blinded readers will assess the technical adequacy of the each examination. Images will be rated as

    - 1 = excellent,
    - 2 = adequate (with artefacts but tolerable for assessment)
    - 3 = inadequate (not tolerable for further evaluation).

    As primary efficacy endpoint, an overall assessment of image quality will be performed by the blinded readers for both DSC- and ASL-MRP images combined:

    - “DSC-MRP better than ASL-MRP”
    - “both equal” or
    - “ASL-MRP better than DSC-MRP”
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    July 2013
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    ROI-Analysis

    To compare the perfusion results both group of patients and normal volunteers will be assessed by a quantitative ROI based analysis. After post-processing of the perfusion data ROIs will be placed in normal appearing white and grey matter on the anatomic images. The ROIs will be relocated to the parameter maps of CBF and CBV and compared accordingly.
    As in ASL MRP only CBF maps are available the quantitative results will only be compared for CBF.
    Based on all available measurements we try to identify perfusion as an early marker for the development of an dementing disorder in the group of MCI subjects. For that MCI subjects will be clinically monitored for at least 12 month after inclusion into the study.

    Technical Assessment – Image Quality - Artifacts

    The technical performance of the two perfusion techniques will be compared in the qualitative assessment in an intraindividual comparision. For both the raw data of perfusion and the generated parameter maps the image quality will be rated on a four point scale:

    • Poor
    • Moderate
    • Good
    • Excellent

    and also as diagnostic or non-diagnostic.


    DSC-MRP As quantitative DSC-MRP parameters highly depend on the current circulation status of the patient, no quantitative assessment will be performed.
