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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Pediatric patients receive ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blockade with 0.2ml/kg ropivacaine 0.197% and 0.3µg/kg dexmedetomidine or 0.2ml/kg ropivacaine 0.197% and saline as a placebo. Aim of the study is to investigate if dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to local anaesthetics prolongs the duration of the block and furthermore reduces the postoperative pain therapy or at least delay the first application of analgetic drugs.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Paediatric patients receive a special abdominal nerve block as a pain therapy for operations. Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to local anesthetics should prolong the blockade and reduce analgesia.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment [E] - Anesthesia and Analgesia [E03]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No

    The main objective of this study is to investigate if paediatric patients could have a benefit from dexmedetomidine
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to local anaesthetic reduces alterations in feeding and sleeping habits
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
