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   44389   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7402   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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A multicentric controlled phase I / IIb study evaluating the safety and the efficacy of in vitro expanded peripheral blood CD34+ stem cells output by the StemXpand® Automated Process, and injected in patients with an acute myocardial infarction and a LVEF remaining below 50% versus standard of care.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the incidence of blindly adjudicated major adverse cardiac events (MACE)
    Protection of trial subjects
    The investigator affirms and upholds the principle of the patient's right to privacy. The investigators shall comply with applicable privacy laws. The investigator must assure that the patient’s anonymity will be maintained and that the identities are protected from unauthorized parties. The investigator should maintain documents in strict confidence. On eCRFs and other documents, patients should not be identified by their names. All clinical and scientific data are collected under an identification code plus investigational centre number, and stored in the main clinical trial database. Individual-related data (the patient’s name and address) are linked to the code in a separate patient identification list field in the investigator site file, which is used only for identifying the patient and matching to the ProtheraCytes® batch and for sending Quality of Life questionnaires during the follow up period.

    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: No-comparative study : This proportion will be given with its associated exact confidence interval, based on the binomial distribution. The proportion of adverse event will also be given in the controlgroup. It must be stressed that no formal comparison (i.e. implying a statistical test), will be used to compare the two groups. Indeed, since the study is a phase I/II trial, it is not meant to provide a formal superiority or non- inferiority test and then is not powered for such a comparison
