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
    We hypothesise that the use of propofol patient controlled sedation for outpatient bronchoscopy will be a safe and well accepted procedure by patients and bronchoscopists, and increase the amount of patients ready for discharge after two hours, compared with sedation using midazolam and morphine.
    Protection of trial subjects
    If patient is randomized to sedation with PCS the nurse anaesthetist will give additional thorough information and instructions how to operate the PCS device before premedication is administrated and the bronchoscopy begins. A nurse anaesthetist is present during the whole procedure until sedation level OAA/S 5 is reached, thereafter and before procedure a pulmonary nurse is present. Bronchoscopist and anaesthesiologist are available via telephone and/or pager and can be present within a few minutes. All of the drugs are administered by routes and given in doses in accordance with approval from the Swedish Medical Products Agency. The personnel involved in the procedure are all familiar with the use of the drugs being studied. During the procedure the anaesthesiologist is available for consultation via telephone and will be informed before sedation and bronschoscopy procedure begins. Furthermore the anaesthesiologist is available within minutes if call is made to anaesthesiologist pager. Before bronchoscopy is initiated (one hour after premedication) the patient is encouraged to start using the PCS until the patient feel comfortable. At the same time local anaesthetic is administrated nasally and pharyngeally depending on type of bronchoscopy and during the procedure local anaesthetic is administrated with a spray-as- you-go technique to anaesthetize vocal cords and trachea. During the procedure the bronchoscopist may request additional medication to achieve deeper sedation and/or pain relief due to a need that the patient has to be completely still during specially demanding and potentially dangerous parts of the procedure. If requested, the sedation is deepened with additional midazolam (if group MM) by nurse anaesthetist or by awaiting the PCS to deliver additional requests from the patient (if group MP or GP). If pain relief is needed additional topical anaesthetics is administrated by bronchoscopist and/or alfentanil (rescue).

    Discharge Assessment Using PADSS After 2 Hours Number of Patients Reaching PADSS Score 10 After 2 Hours
    End point description
    ost Anaesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS).A measurement of the PADSS score is done by pulmonary nurse every 15 min after bronchoscopy is finished (when bronchoscope is removed) for 2 hours. The PADSS is used to clinically assess if the patient is ready to be discharged after anaesthesia/sedation and consist of five criteria: vital signs, ambulation, nausea and/or vomiting, pain and surgical bleeding. Each criterion is given a score ranging from 0 to 2. Only patients who achieve a total score of 10 are considered ready for discharge after 2 hours.
