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   43839   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7280   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 evaluate the analgesic efficacy of oral dexketoprofen trometamol (DKP.TRIS) and tramadol hydrochloride (TRAM.HCl) fixed combination on moderate to severe pain after elective hip arthroplasty.
    Protection of trial subjects
    If any event(s) related to the conduct of the study or the development of the IMP affects the safety of the study participants, the Sponsor and the Investigator will take appropriate urgent safety measures to protect the patients against any immediate hazard. The CAs and IRB/ECs will be informed forthwith about these new events and the measures taken. For patients participating in the study, Menarini Ricerche S.p.A. has stipulated an insurance policy in accordance with local regulatory requirements. Details on the insurance company, the insurance number and conditions will be made available to patients in the ICF and/or provided as a separate document, in accordance with national requirements. According to the results from phase I and phase II studies, the tested fixed-combination is expected to provide adequate pain relief for the participating patients without raising any safety concerns. In addition, patients will be hospitalized for the entire study treatment duration and monitoring of AEs will be conducted during this period. Upon discharge, they will be instructed to contact the site immediately in case of any medical emergency.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The first patient was screened on 30th April 2013 and; the first patient randomized on 7th May 2013. The last patient completed the study on 5th February 2014. The study was conducted at 44 study centers in 10 countries (Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Serbia, Spain, Taiwan, and Ukraine).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 746 patients were screened and 641 of them were randomized (screening failure rate: 14.1%). The enrollment was competitive.

    Eligible patients were randomized in a 3:3:3:1:1:1 ratio to 1 of the 6 possible treatment arms, as per treatment code assigned by IVRS/IWRS in accordance with the randomisation list. DKP/TRAM and DKP were provided as film-coated tablet with matching appearance and weight. TRAM as two capsules of a marketed drug Contramal® 50mg. Placebos matching with both pharmaceutical forms were available to secure double-blind conditions by using a double-dummy technique.

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: The individual study participation included a screening period (period 1) for study eligibility assessment, a treatment and assessment period (period 2), where during the single-dose phase, PI-VAS at rest and PI-VAS on movement were recorded as beaseline, i.e. immediately prior to the time of the first study drug administration (t0). Finally a end of study visit (period 3) for final follow-up.

    SPID8 (Sum of Pain Intensity Differences Over 8 Hours)
    End point description
    Sum of Pain Intensity Differences calculated as the weighted sum of the PI-VAS differences over 8 hours period. PI-VAS corresponds to the pain intensity measured by a 0-100 visual analogue scale (0= no pain to 100=worst pain imaginable) which was measured at 0.5h, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h and 8h after the first dose. A higher value in SPID indicates greater pain relief. The analysis was performed combining all randomization arms including placebo into one group, which resulted in the following 4 analysis groups: DKP/TRAM, DEXKETOPROFEN, TRAMADOL and Placebo.

PI-VAS corresponds to the pain intensity measured by a 0-100 visual analogue scale (0=no pain to 100 worst pain imaginable) which was measured every two hours over the first 48 hours of the multiple-dose phase. A higher value in SPID indicates greater pain relief.
