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   43839   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7280   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
    This research will have as aim to look at progression or decrease of vascular calcification in dialysis population with use of different phosphate binders. There is a possibility that differect phosphate binders bind vitamin K in a different way in intestinal tract end thereby cause different level of calcification. Level of calcification will be measured by dp-ucMGP which is used as markers for vascular calcification. Because of the fact that ucMGP en dp-ucMGP are vitamin K dependant PIVKA-II will be measured as well. Better insight in mechanisms of vascular calcification under different circumstance can lead to therapeutic options which inhibit calcification and benefit survival of dialysis patients
    Protection of trial subjects
    The blood work during a dialysis sessions was monitored more frequently. There was no extra pain since the blood was drawn during dialysis.
    Background therapy
    No additional products were used.
    Evidence for comparator
    There is evidence that lanthanumcarbonate does bind fat soluble vitamins in vivo. this was the reason to compare this drug with calcium carbonate.
