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   43857   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 determine whether systemic cooling to a target body temperature between 34.0 and 35.0°C, started within 6 hours of symptom onset and maintained for 24 hours, improves functional outcome at 3 months in patients with acute ischaemic stroke.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Study participants assigned to the control group initially have their vital parameters closely monitored and also come to the study site once at the end of the follow-up phase for a final examination. The discomfort for these patients is classified as minimal; there are no study-related risks for these patients. For study participants assigned to therapeutic hypothermia by the randomisation process, the following control mechanisms and counter-measures have been implemented to minimise discomfort and risks. 1. Discomfort and shivering: Administration of pethidine and buspirone, if necessary increase in target body temperature or termination of hypothermia. 2. Opioid-induced Nausea: Administration of 5-HT3-receptor antagonists. 3. Pain from application of cooling catheter (endovascular cooling): Local anaesthesia at the puncture site, maximum 2 puncturing attempts. 4. Volume overload due to induction infusion (20 mL/kg BW): Exclusion criterion NYHA ≥III, if necessary administration of a diuretic. 5. Pneumonia: Antibiotic therapy, if necessary discontinuation of hypothermia.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of roles blinded appears inconsistent with a single blinded trial. It is expected that there will be one role blinded in a single blind trial.
    Justification: Due to the nature of the intervention blinding of subject and site staff was not possible but assessor of the primary endpoint and data analyst were blinded.
    [2] - The roles blinded appear inconsistent with a simple blinded trial.
    Justification: Due to the nature of the intervention blinding of subject and site staff was not possible but assessor of the primary endpoint and data analyst were blinded.
