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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 evaluate the safety and efficacy of EVICEL® when used for suture-line sealing in dura mater closure in elective paediatric cranial neurosurgery to provide intraoperative watertight closure.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Study information was presented to the patient and their legal guardian by a trained member of the research team. The final taking of informed consent was completed by the Investigator or sub−investigator when the potential participant and their legal guardian were completely satisfied with the information presented. Venepuncture was required, however we minimised the number required and where possible results that were already available were used rather than repeating the test. Visits were conducted at times where the patient would routinely attend the hospital where possible. Physical examinations were undertaken by a trained member of the research team in a private area or room, or if this procedure was completed routinely upon admission to the hospital it was not repeated. The study was reviewed and approved by the ethics committee in the country where the study was being conducted.
    Background therapy
    Many cranial neurosurgical procedures require that the surgeon pass through the dura mater to gain access to the neural elements. Despite advances in neurosurgical techniques and the development of new methods to repair dura mater defects, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage remains one of the challenging complications of cranial surgery. Meticulous repair of the dural incision should achieve intra-operative watertight closure as the first-line protection from postoperative CSF leakage, which may lead to serious complications such as pseudomeningocele, delayed wound healing, CSF fistula, surgical site infection (SSI), and meningitis.
    Evidence for comparator
    In cranial neurosurgical procedures (craniotomy or craniectomy) that require dural incision, current techniques to obtain an intra-operative watertight dural closure include (but are not limited to): - Primary suture closure of the dural incision - Augmentation or onlay patching of the dural incision with synthetic or tissue-based patches - Adjunctive use of various products (prophylactically or to treat persistent CSF leak after primary suture closure): - Additional repair suture - Synthetic Sealants (e.g., polyethylene glycol,etc) - Biological Sealants (e.g., fibrin sealants, glutaraldehyde crosslinked bovine albumin) - Autologous tissue buttresses or duroplasty (e.g., fat, muscle, per cranium, etc.) - Gelatin pads or other resorbable biomaterials The study is aligned with EU Guidance on clinical investigation of plasma-derived fibrin sealants (CPMP/BPWG/1089/00, 29 July 2004) by having a control group that received the standard treatment (additional sutures) without fibrin sealant and by ensuring that the clinical situations under study represented those encountered in actual clinical practice. For subjects not achieving intra-operative watertight closure, the Investigator could revert to their institutional standard of care. This was applicable to both treatment groups.
