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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Area of ischemic myocardium/cm² (longitudinal strain, radial/circumferential strain) after 42 days treatment with Ranolazine
    Protection of trial subjects
    Concerning risk/benefit consideration it is important to state that in the present trial the IMP was used within its approval according to the SmPC. Therefore an excessive risk for participating patients was not expected. Each participant was involved in the study for a maximum of 42 days. Patients needed to attend on 3 occasions. There was the possibility of additional visits at the request of the subject or if this was considered clinically necessary. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria and a defined visit plan for monitoring the patients were included in the protocol. Screening/Enrolment/Day 0 Written informed consent, blood sampling, echocardiography, medical history Visit 1 (week 1) assessment, dosage increase Visit 2 (week 2) assessment, blood sampling Visit 3 (week 6) assessment, echocardiography, ECG Criteria for Discontinuation Study Treatment for all patients Discontinue study medication in the following instances: • Discontinuation of study at the request of sponsor, Regulatory Agency or an EC • Termination of study by Sponsor • Medication-related toxicity > Grade 4 in more than 10 % of study population • More than 2 Serious Adverse Events or SUSARs, which were judged as related to the study medication • Indication that either of the study arms is associated with an accelerated clinical progression (stopp of study at the decision of Investigator after discussion with Sponsor) Criteria for Discontinuation of Study Treatment for the Single Patient • Any clinical AE, laboratory abnormality or intercurrent illness, which in opinion of the Investigator, indicates that continued treatment with study therapy is not in the best interest of the subject • Subject withdraws consent • Pregnancy or breast-feeding during study • Imprisonment or the compulsory detention for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (e.g., infectious disease) illness. • Discontinuations mandated by protocol defined safety parameters • Requireme

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: AEs were collected for all patients from first dose of protocol treatment until 30 days after the last dose of treatment with a protocol IMP. Information about AEs, whether volunteered by the patient, discovered by the investigator questioning or detected through physical examination, laboratory test or other investigation were collected and recorded in the study files. No reporting of AEs.
