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   43861   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint of the study will be a difference in the duration of ST deviation pre-treatment and during treatment. This will be recorded using Del Mar Reynolds Lifecard CF/Lifecard 12 recorders, which will record 12 leads over 24 hours and continuously if the storage card is changed daily. Pre-treatment control ECGs will be recorded for 24 hours. Continuous 12-lead monitoring shall be recorded for 3 days between day 5 and day 7. Data will be analysed on a Pathfinder Digital Analyser. All analyses will be carried out by a blinded observer. The electrocardiogram will be visually inspected for quality and if satisfactory will be analysed using the automated algorithms within the software package. The baseline ST segment deviation will be determined as the average of the entire 24-hour period, and will be set for each lead (II, V2 and V5 –representative of the inferior, anterior and lateral walls of the heart respectively) separately. After the baseline is set, the automated algorithm will determine episodes of ST deviation that meet the criteria and will subsequently be recorded. Number and duration of ST changes will be reported. Ischemic episodes are defined as > 1 mm (0.1 mV) ST deviation, measured at the J-point + 80ms and lasting > 60 seconds. The co-investigators have experience with this technique, which has been used to detect cardiac ischaemia induced by diesel pollution.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The study participants will be monitored continuously by ECG for 3 days (preferably days 5-7, but may be performed at any point between days 3-10).
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Does the level of damage to the heart and blood vessels correlate with the level of toxic waste products from the study drug?
    Is the risk of developing heart damage greater in patients with pre-existing heart problems?
    The underlying mechanism that causes drug related heart damage due to damage of the blood vessels or disruption of blood clotting?
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Secondary endpoints will be measured at baseline and after 7, 14 and 21 days of taking the study drug

    Patients will either revert to normal standard chemotherapy (capecitabine based) or be able to continue with the study drug after the end of the trial at the discretion of the patient's oncologist. The oncologist and patient will be aware of which treatment the patient had been randomised to during the study, on completion of their study visits, to help with these decisions. The cardiovascular research team will remain blinded to this information.
