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   43861   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the safety and hemostatic effectiveness of EVARREST Fibrin Sealant Patch versus standard of care treatment (SoC) in controlling parenchymal bleeding during hepatic surgery.
    Protection of trial subjects
    A DMC was established. The DMC was to be convened if a stopping rule for safety was met, however no such stopping rule requiring DMC review was met for this trial. In addition a Clinical Adjudication Committee was appointed to adjudicate adverse events or serious adverse events that were potentially related to target bleeding site bleeding or thrombotic events.

    Up to 4 units (10.2 x 10.2cm / 4x4 in) of EVARREST were permitted to be left in place at treatment sites per subjects randomized to treatment with EVARREST. After placement of EVARREST, firm manual compression sufficient to stem all bleeding was applied continuously and maintained until 4 minutes post randomization.
