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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    The aim of the study is to compare the spread of local anaesthetics between the classical FICB (cFICB) and the supra-inguinal FICB (sFICB). The spread of local anesthetic in the fascia iliaca compartment will be evaluated with MRI. Motor and sensory block will be measured in the FN, ON and LFCN. spread of local anesthetics will be measured.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    In volunteers different approaches of a loco-regional anesthesia techniques will be compared by means of spread of this local anesthetic on MRI and by means of differences in muscular function tests.
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Health Care [N] - Health Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation [N05]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The aim of the study is to compare the spread of local anaesthetics between the classical FICB (cFICB) and the supra-inguinal FICB (sFICB). The spread of local anesthetic in the fascia iliaca compartment will be evaluated with MRI. Motor and sensory block will be measured in the FN, ON and LFCN. spread of local anesthetics will be measured. Our hypothesis is that the longitudinal supra-inguinal approach results in a more consistent block of the three target nerves (FN, ON, LFCN) and will have superior block characteristics. The spread of the MRI local anesthetic solution will be compared between the two techniques. The spread of injectate will be described according to the different anatomical compartments (cranial, caudal, lateral, medial spread). The involvement of the FN, ON, and LFCN will be evaluated by an independent radiologist unaware of study allocation.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Sensory block will be evaluated as described before and after the block performance by an independent examinator unaware of study allocation. The areas of sensory block will be marked on the patient and transferred to paper. A digital photograph will then be taken. This image will be analyzed using Image J software to calculate the area of anaesthesia.
    Post intervention strength tests.

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    After approval of the ethics committee and written informed consent ten healthy volunteers will be randomly recruited among residents, trainees and medical students.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Exclusion criteria are: age <18 years, BMI >35, bodyweight<70kg, intolerance to local anesthetics used in the study, a history of hepatic or renal insufficiency, coagulopathy, clinical evidence of peripheral neuropathies, cardiac or pulmonary disease, abnormalities of sensory or motor function of the FN, ON or LFCN.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The aim of the study is to compare the spread of local anaesthetics between the classical FICB (cFICB) and the supra-inguinal FICB (sFICB). The spread of local anesthetic in the fascia iliaca compartment will be evaluated with MRI. Our hypothesis is that the longitudinal supra-inguinal approach results in a more proximal spread ijn comparison with the classical approach.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Study will be performed in October 2016. Clinical data will be gathered at that point and will be analysed the weeks following the clinical days.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Motor and sensory block will be measured in the FN, ON and LFCN. Our hypothesis is that the longitudinal supra-inguinal approach results in a more consistent block of the three target nerves (FN, ON, LFCN) and will have superior block characteristics.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Study will be performed in October 2016. Clinical data will be gathered at that point and will be analysed the weeks following the clinical days.
