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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 determine whether the Mirena coil is effective at interrupting pathways in the womb associated with increased risk of developing cancer.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Taking part in the study involved a gift of time from the patients. Appointment times were made by telephone in advance for the most convenient time for the patient where possible and reasonable travel expenses were reimbursed. There was a discussion of personal information in the medical history, however the doctors involved in this study were practicing clinicans in the NHS and all information were handled and stored according to the Data Protection Act 1998. Having blood taken may be uncomfortable or cause bruising. The staff taking the samples were trained in phlebotomy. Endometrial biopsies and insertion of the Mirena IUS may be uncomfortable or embarassing for some women. There is a small risk of infection and rarely uterine perforation. Genital swabs were taken during the screening assessment to reduce the risk of infection. Senior clinicans with experience in these procedures performed these tasks in an suitable environment for internal examinations with a female chaparone available at request. Should any patient find the clinical procedures too painful they were to be abandoned. The patients were fully informed of the risks and the signs and symptoms of possible complications. In the event of any complications the study patients were to be referred to the on call gynaecology team at St Mary's if necessary. The Mirena IUS can cause irregular bleeding (spotting) in some women. If the participants found this unacceptable we would remove the Mirena IUS at any time on request. Some women may find it distressing to realise they are at increased risk of endometrial cancer because they have a high BMI. If we were unable to obtain a baseline endometrial sample to reassure a patient routine gynaecology practice advice was given on risk reducing behaviours and any concerning features of history were to be investigated outside the research study.

    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: This is a single arm exploratory study with small numbers looking at change in ki67 between baseline, implementation, and follow-up. A mixed effects regression model showed a significant difference at follow-up of around 15%. Potential confounders were not found to effect the outcome.

    Date
    Amendment
    25 Sep 2015
    Substantial amendment 2: 1) The protocol is amended to allow recruitment of patients through the Sleep Apnoea or other service at Salford Royal or any gynaecology clinic at St Mary's Hospital Manchester or any patient who approaches the research team directly after hearing of the trial through "word of mouth", CRUK or clinical trials.gov or other clinical research website or publication. Notification of the participants involvement to their GP will remain compulsory for all trial participants. 2) The use of an alternative (validated) questionnaire at the baseline/insertion of Mirena and follow up visits. After listening to the committee's original concerns regarding our questionnaire and feedback from our participants we wish to change the questionnaire to a more general health and wellbeing questionnaire and specific assessment on menstrual bleeding. 3) The protocol is amended to allow contact of participants by their clinical team 4) The protocol is amended to reflect that St Mary's Hospital is the only site where assessments will be performed 5) The patient information sheet is amended to reflect the new questionnaire 6) The consent form is amended to reflect the new version of the patient information sheet Received REC favourable opinion 20/10/2015.
