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   43870   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7289   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 investigate if addition of isoprenaline to the irrigation fluid makes it possible to insert an access sheath in the ureter of patients were insertion was impossible because of ureteral resistance.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The subjects were treated intraoperatively under full anaesthesia. The treatment does not likely cause any pain or discomfort. All patients were observed during perioperative admission and treated with regular relief of pain postoperatively if necessary as standard for this type of operation.
    Background therapy
    Endoscopical treatment of urinary tract stones.
    Evidence for comparator
    The comparator was saline irrigation. Saline irrigation is standard for this type of operation.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects were recruited from august 2014 to january 2016 in the region of Southern Denmark. The study was terminated prematurely due to a lack of subjects.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Inclusion criteria: Indication for diagnostic or therapeutic ureterorenoscopy. Men and women > 18 years Exclusion criteria: Known malignancies in the urinary tract New found malignancy during operation Allergy to isoprenaline 148 screened, 38 eligible, 10 included Subject were finally included during operation with written consent

    Allocation method

    Blinding used
    Double blind
    Roles blinded
    Subject, Investigator, Monitor, Data analyst
    Blinding implementation details
    During operation the subject was included for randomization and treatment if there was a subjective resistance to insertion of the ureteral access sheath, evaluated by the surgeon. An OR nurse and a controller outside the OR room would the break a sealed envelope containing a pre-randomized treatment, either usual saline or saline with isoprenaline and prepare the irrigation fluid and bring it to the OR. The envelope would afterwards be sealed again until the end of the study.

    End point timeframe
    Success of insertion recorded during operation immediately after irrigation tested fluid.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The trial was no completed and therefore no statistical analysis can be performed as the number of included subjects is to small compared to what is necessary from power calculations.

    Adverse events

    Adverse events information [1]
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Peroperatively by anesthesiology staff, postoperatively during admission by patient or ward staff or in the following period without timeframe by patient if any suspicious effects arise.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Adverse effects would be changes of pulse or blodpressure and related symptoms to this such as: Headache, dizziness, tremor, palpitations, tachycardia, angina pectoris, flushing, nausea, vomiting, hypokalaemia. Half life of interventional products is only a few minutes. Adverse effects are thus not to be expected after patient discharge.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: No adverse effects were reported in this study.
