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.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The HALT-IT trial will find out whether early administration of tranexamic acid improves outcomes for people who suffered of significant gastrointestinal bleeding. The main outcome is death in hospital within 28 days of randomisation. We will also assess the cause of death.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives will be to assess whether tranexamic acid leads to better outcomes such as reducing re-bleeding, need for surgery or radiological intervention, blood transfusion, number of days spent in intensive care. We will also assess whether there is any increase in serious outcomes including heart attack, stroke and blood clots in the legs or lungs, and seizures. In addition, we will evaluate if there is an improvement in patient's ability to perform the activities of daily living at discharge (bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence and feeding). In England and Wales only, we will also evaluate patient status after 1 year.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Adult (18 years and over) with significant gastrointestinal bleeding
    • Where the responsible clinician is substantially uncertain as to whether or not to use tranexamic acid
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Patients for whom the responsible clinician considers there is a clear indication for tranexamic acid.
    • Patients for whom the responsible clinician considers there is a clear contraindication for tranexamic acid.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary outcome is death in hospital within 28 days after randomisation (cause-specific mortality will also be recorded).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    28 days after randomisation, at hospital discharge, or at death whichever occurs first.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    a) Re-bleeding
    b) Need for surgery or radiological intervention
    c) Blood product transfusion
    d) Thromboembolic events (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, myocardial infarction)
    e) Other complications (including other significant cardiac event, sepsis, pneumonia, respiratory failure, renal failure, liver failure, seizures)
    f) Functional status will be measured by the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living at discharge from the randomising hospital or in-hospital at 28 days after randomisation. The Index assesses adequacy of performance in six functions of bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence and feeding. Patients are scored ‘yes’ or ‘no’ for independence in each of the functions (score of 6=full function, 4=moderate impairment, and ≤2=severe functional impairment)
    g) Days spent in intensive care unit or high dependency unit
    h) Patient status (death, hospital readmission) at 12 months (England and Wales only)
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    28 days after randomisation, at discharge from the randomising hospital, or at death (whichever occurs first) for all the above secondary outcome, except (h) "Patient status (death, hospital readmission) at 12 months", which will be evaluated at 12 months after randomisation (England and Wales, only)

    After 8,000 patients have been recruited (anticipated to be completed by 30/11/2016), the trial will end when follow-up of the last patient recruited is completed. Follow up is up to 28 days after randomisation for all countries apart from the UK, where follow up is 12 months after randomization.
    The trial may be terminated early by the Trial Steering Committee on the recommendation of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee on their interim reviews of the unblinded data.
