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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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
    The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of dabigatran etexilate solution in children aged less than 1 year, to demonstrate comparable PK/PD relationship to older children and adults and to confirm dabigatran etexilate dosing algorithm for children aged less than 1 year.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all subjects as required. An independent DMC was implemented to monitor safety and tolerability on an ongoing basis.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Before inclusion into the trial, all patients had to complete the planned treatment with either Low molecular weight heparin(LMWH),Unfractionated heparin(UFH), or oral anticoagulation for Venous thrombotic event (VTE) prior to intake of the single dose of study medication.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All subjects were screened for eligibility to participate in the trial. Subjects attended specialist sites which would then ensure that they (the subjects) met all strictly implemented inclusion/exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be entered to trial treatment if any one of the specific entry criteria were violated

    Arms
    Arm title
    Dabigatran etexilate
    Arm description
    The patients were orally administered a single dose of liquid formulation of dabigatran etexilate. The dose were adjusted based on an age and weight (equivalent to a 150 mg dose in adults). In case the patient could not take the full dose at once, the assigned dose could have been given as divided doses.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Baseline characteristics are based on the patients who were randomised after successfully completing the screening period and received at least one dose of the trial medication.
