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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 identify the peak blood levels of lidocaine in children undergoing an endoscopic examination of their airways under anaesthesia. The local anaesthetic lidocaine, is routinely applied to the airway during this procedure as part of the anaesthetic technique.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The potential risks of insertion of a supplementary intravenous cannula include bruising, localized skin infection, and allergy to the antiseptic solution used (chlorhexidine gluconate 2% in ethanol 70%), or to the cannula dressing. However, these final two risks are not additional to standard, as all children are routinely cannulated during DLTB. The 0.9% saline flush used for cannula patency poses negligible risk, even in the case of extravasation. The blood samples would total 5.5ml of venous blood, and thus do not pose a risk of anaemia to our participants. In order to minimise any risk, this procedure will be performed by an senior anaesthetic registar or consultant anaesthetist in accordance with trust guidelines.
    Background therapy
    In our current practice at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, general anaesthesia for direct laryngotracheobronchoscopy (DLTB) in children is carried out using a spontaneously breathing technique, and is routinely supplemented by lidocaine applied topically to the airway. This is applied to both the supraglottis and subglottis. The method of application is by a mucosal atomisation device. Varying doses, between 3 to 5mg per kg, are being used. The study does not involve any change to the routine clinical care given to children undergoing DTLB. All children undergoing this procedure will receive lidocaine as described above, therefore the risk associated with the investigational medicinal product lidocaine in this clinical trial is no greater than the risk to which participants would be exposed were they to undergo DTLB at this hospital and not enter the trial. The trial differs from routine care only in the measurement of lidocaine levels: a supplementary intravenous cannula will be inserted during general anaesthesia, in order to obtain four blood samples for lidocaine plasma levels. This off-label use of lidocaine is established practice in our and other hospitals.
    Evidence for comparator
    The population from which participants will be selected are children undergoing elective direct laryngotracheobronchosopy as part of their clinical management by the ENT surgeons in Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. There is no change to their primary procedure or anaesthetic technique. The only additional procedure they will undergo as part of the study is the insertion of a supplementary intravenous cannula during general anaesthesia, in order to obtain four blood samples for lidocaine plasma levels.

    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: Linear regression models were used to assess the relationship between peak plasma concentration and variables of age, weight, volume and dose. These do not compare groups as this is a single arm trial and do not fit in this system. There is a significant quadratic relationship between peak plasma level and age (p=0.00973). There is a significant quadratic relationship between volume of local anaesthetic utilised and peak plasma levels (p=0.0352).
