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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of a systemic antibiotic prophylaxis regime on patient-centred outcomes and postsurgical complications in patients undergoing oral implant therapy and simultaneous guided bone regeneration.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Close monitoring of possible complications was implemented to ensure protection of trial subjects (4 follow-up visits after surgery).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 253 patients were initially screened but 236 cases were actually enrolled and analyzed.

    Patient-related outcome measures: pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding
    End point description
    There was no statistically significant difference between the two treatment groups for bleeding, swelling, pain, and hematoma (all P > 0.05). However there was a significant time effect, where the mean VAS scores decreased over time (P < 0.001). However, no significant interaction effect between the treatment groups and time suggested that the decrease in the mean VAS scores in different treatment groups was not significantly different from each other for all the variables assessed. When adjusted for the center effect, consistent results were obtained that no statistically significant differences existed between the two treatment groups for all outcomes, but for a significant time effect (data not reported).
