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   43722   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7255   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.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Not applicable
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Adult male or female subjects between ages 45-99 years of age at the
    time of screening.
    2. Subjects with a diagnosis of PAD due to atherosclerosis at the stage of
    CLI, with minor tissue loss from arterial disease, up to the ankle level
    (the line between the top of the two malleoli) (black toe due to CLI is
    acceptable if not infected).
    3. Total area of ischemic lesions ≤20cm2 (not including black toes).
    4. Total area of ischemic lesions in the heel ≤10cm2.
    5. AP ≤70 mmHg or TP ≤50 mmHg in the index leg. If a subject has both
    ABI >1.4 or both AP and TP are not measureable or not reliable,
    inclusion may be based on TcPO2 ≤30 mmHg.
    6. Subject unsuitable for revascularization (by any method) in the index
    leg based on unfavorable risk-benefit assessment of a multidisciplinary
    team including a vascular surgeon, and an interventionist/endovascular
    specialist (who might be a vascular surgeon,
    angiologist/cardiologist/internist, interventional radiologist), and, if
    relevant, an anesthesiologist, confirmed once during Screening Period.
    Unsuitability to revascularization is based any of the following:
     Anatomic considerations as: inappropriate target artery,
    diffuse/extensive tibial and/or peroneal artery lesions, inadequate distal
    run-off
     Technical considerations as: inappropriate bypass conduit
    Failed revascularization (with persistence of CLI as defined in this
    protocol)
     Medical considerations: subject's comorbidities.
    7. Ischemic lesions in the index leg must not have closed during the
    Screening Period, nor significantly worsened.
    8. Ischemic ulcers in the index leg without tendon or bone exposure
    during Screening Period, unless the exposure is secondary to a minor
    amputation and there are no signs of osteomyelitis as per clinical
    assessment and imaging.
    9. Under treatment for cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension,
    hyperlipidemia, diabetes, in accordance with applicable guidelines, in
    order to achieve their stabilization. Concomitant therapy should include
    a statin (or other lipid lowering drugs as part of standard of care) and an
    anti-platelet agent (e.g., clopidogrel, aspirin, etc.) for at least 2 weeks
    prior to randomization as part of standard of care (unless
    contraindicated or unless subject is under chronic oral anticoagulation).
    Subject has received recommendations on lifestyle changes (including
    smoking cessation) prior to randomization.
    10. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum
    pregnancy test at screening and must be willing to use at least one
    highly effective birth control method throughout the study:

    containing hormonal contraception for at least 3 months prior to
    screening
    b. Oral/injectable/implantable progestogen-only hormonal
    contraception for at least 3 months prior to screening
    c. An intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine hormone-releasing
    system (IUS)
    Any female subject who is surgically sterile, or with bilateral tubal
    occlusion, or whose partner is vasectomized, or who reliably applies
    sexual abstinence or who is postmenopausal (2 years without menses)
    will be considered not of childbearing potential.
    11. Subject understood, agreed and provided informed consent. Patients
    must give written informed consent before any assessment is performed.
    12. For Diabetic patients: under treatment with glucose lowering agents
    according to acceptable international guidelines.
