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 Hypothesis of this study is that the use of PDD in the outpatient clinic in patients with a high recurrence risk undergoing follow-up flexible cystoscopy will result in diagnosis of papillomas earlier than by the use of conventional flexible cystoscopy in white light. Thus, a higher number of tumours can be treated in the outpatient setting without the need for procedures in general anaesthesia. Furthermore, the number of follow-up cystoscopies can be reduced if PDD is used at the first cystoscopy following TURB.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Trial Subjects in the intervention arm underwent instillation of Hexaminolevulinate (HAL) prior to the cystoscopy using local anesthesia (Lidocaine gel).

    Tumor recurrence within 8 months from the randomization
    End point description
    Use of PDD in a routine surveillance cystoscopy first time after transurethral resection of bladder tumor for nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer reduces subsequent risk of tumor recurrence compared to WL cystoscopy alone.

    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: The trial subjects in both groups had to undergo the same procedure e.g. cystoscopy with expected post mikro/ makro haematuria when voiding the first 24 hours after the procedure. As for the intervention group who had to undergo catheterization prior to the cystoscopy post mikro/ makro haematuria is also expected.
