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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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
    Primary goal of this study is to quantify changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and pO2 before and after i.v. administration of either IOCM or LOCM. In particular the occurrence of clinically relevant drops in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after IOCM or LOCM administration is investigated.
    Protection of trial subjects
    If sudden undesired clinical relevant events occur during the infusion of the study drug, the infusion should be stopped immediately and the events have to be treated properly. Very rarely, allergic reactions may occur. In case of severe skin rashes, angioedema, and/or bronchospasm, combined with tachycardia and hypotension and unexplained by other causes, infusion will be stopped and treatment will be implemented immediately. If thrombembolism to pulmonary, cerebral, coronary arteries or to other organs is diagnosed (CT scan, ECG, Echocardiography). Individually appropri-ate treatment will be implemented immediately.
    Background therapy
    Basically all patients were hydrated with crystalloid solution at a rate of 3-5 ml/kg body weight (250–500 mL) per hour during general anesthesia. Administration of vasopressors during the procedure was documented. All patients received oral premedication with midazolam (Dormicum; Roche Pharmaceutics) 30 minutes prior to intervention at doses between 3.75 and 7.5 mg.
    Evidence for comparator
    LOCM (low-osmolar contrast medium) was reported to significantly decrease average renal blood flow and affect heart rate and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure during coronary ventriculography and angiography. In this trial IOCM (iso-osmolar contrast medium) iodixanol and LOCM iopromide, both FDA appoved, were compared to systematically quantify the hemodynamic effects of intravenous CM (contrast medium) application in patients under general anesthesia with continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients having both radiological interventions with CM and continuous blood pressure measurement during general anesthesia were within the sampling frame of our study population. Consequently, we focused on patients with liver tumors undergoing RFA, in whom invasive blood pressure is measured routinely at our institution.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    During November 18, 2014, and May 5, 2015, 50 patients were consecutively screened for eligibility, 40 of whom (20 LOCM, 20 IOCM) were included in the study. Eight patients were excluded by the exclusion criteria and 2 patients because the procedure could not be performed.

    The 2 different CMs to which individual patients were assigned were determined with a randomized schedule. Allocation ratio was 1:1. The randomization list was generated independently by the clinical investigator and sent to the staff responsible for labeling the IMPs. The randomization list was kept confidential and consulted only by the principal investigator for assignment on the day of treatment. Patients and anesthesiologists were blinded.

    Iopromide
    Arm description
    The intervention during which the study data were obtained followed the standard protocol for stereotactic radiofrequency ablation (SRFA). The SRFA procedure is performed in anesthetized patients in whom a CM-enhanced CT scan is required for planning of the ablation, a nonenhanced CT scan is obtained for verification of proper needle placement, and after ablation another CM-enhanced CT scan is performed for final verification of ablation size. LOCM iopromide was used for this procedure.

    We used LOCM iopromide (Ultravist 370 mg I/mL; Bayer Austria Ges.m.b.H., Vienna, Austria) for contrast enhancement. CM was administered using an automatic injector at a flow of 3 mL/s via a separate peripheral temporary venous catheter with single access using 80–150 mL (2× bodyweight, minimum 80 mL, maximum 150 mL). For each patient, normal saline solution (NSS) was administered by automatic injector during the nonenhanced CT scan as a placebo control using exactly the same dose and injection rate as the previously given CM.

    Systolic blood pressure
    End point description
    After administration of CM systemic blood pressure showed a typical hemodynamic temporal course. Compared to the initial value obtained 1 minute before administration, systemic blood pressure first showed a slight increase, followed by a variable decrease and after 3 minutes recovery to initial and compensatory levels higher than initial. We did not alter the infusion or administer additional vasopressors so as to not skew the data. Time from onset of decline in blood pressure to normotension was 105 ± 61 seconds (range, 25–300 seconds) for LOCM and 112 ± 20 seconds (range, 90–145 seconds) for IOCM.
