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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    To investigate differences in intraoperative global and local oxygen delivery in goal directed haemodynamic optimisation with crystalloids versus colloids.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This single centre, double blind, randomised controlled trial was approved by The Regional Committees on Health Research Ethics for Southern Denmark (Ref: S-20130021) on 3 March 2014, and was registered at https://eudract.ema.europa.eu/, Identifier: 2013-002217- 36. It was conducted at Odense University Hospital, Denmark. The study started 1 May 2014. The trial was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki declaration and guideline for good clinical practice, and monitored by an external agency.
    Background therapy
    Anaesthesia and intra-operative monitoring A standard fasting regime was followed. Standard monitoring included pulse oximetry, three lead electrocardiography, invasive arterial and central blood pressure measurement, and spirometry with inspiratory and expiratory oxygen, carbon dioxide and volatile agent analysis. In addition, bispectral index score (BIS, monitoring of anaesthesia depth, BISx Power Link, Philips Medical Systems, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) and central temperature were continuously monitored. General anaesthesia was induced with fentanyl (1 to 3 mg kg1) and propofol (1 to 3mg kg1), and neuromuscular blockade with cisatracurium (0.15mg kg1). Anaesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane in oxygen enriched air. A thoracic epidural catheter (level Th 6 to 7) was inserted and an infusion of epidural bupivacaine (5mgml1) 3 to 6mlh1 was continued during surgery. Mechanical ventilation was performed with tidal volumes (Vt) 6 to 8 ml kg1 ideal body weight and positive endexpiratory pressure (PEEP) PEEP 5 to 8mmHg. In thoraco-abdominal oesophageal surgery, the abdominal dissection was performed first, then, following a change to propofol-remifentanil anaesthesia, a double lumen endotracheal tube was inserted. The patient was positioned in the left lateral decubitus jack-knife position and one-lung ventilation of the left lung was established. All patients were extubated and transferred for postoperative care and observation in an ICU for at least 24 h following the start of surgery until the next morning. The decision to discharge from hospital was at the discretion of the surgeon in charge of the patient. Systemic and mesenteric flow monitoring The LiDCOplus (LiDCO Ltd, Cambridge, UK) monitor was attached and calibrated after induction of anaesthesia. This device uses a transpulmonary lithium indicator dilution technique. Patient-specific calibration from three independentlymeasured COs was obtained. Establishment an
    Evidence for comparator
    Studies, comparing colloids with crystalloids in the peri-operative setting have yet to demonstrate a convincing and guideline changing effect.
