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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Variation of diameter of brachial artery and peripheral StO2 variation:
    A/ FMD (Flow Mediated vasoDilation) which is a non invasive technique considered as the gold standard for endothelial reactivity evaluation since the end of 1990s. It is based on echographic measurement of brachial artery diameter variation and the Doppler flow evaluation, during an episode of transient ischemia induced by pneumatic cuff inflation (vascular occlusion test).
    Some studies showed a reversible alteration of endothelial function mainly after cardiac surgery using CBP with continuous blood flow (FMD variation of about 11%). We are expecting a reduction of endothelial dysfunction with corticoids by 5%, In previous studies, variation is already significative when FMD varies from 1,5 – 2%.
    B/ NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) – it’s a non invasive technique which measures peripheral tissue oxygen saturation and allows to assess oxygen consumption and microcirculation reactivity during an arterial occlusion test distally to compressive cuff.
    Alterations of the variables derived from delta StO2 (peripheral tissue oxygen saturation) after an ischemic – reperfusion event, rather than absolute value of StO2 are predictive of bad prognosis in a septic patient or in severe head injury. These variables are delta StO2, HbT (total tissue hemoglobin) and THI (muscular hemoglobin index). From these elements can be calculated others: RdecStO2 (StO2 decrease rate during ischemic event reflecting the tissue oxygen consumption) and RincStO2 (increase rate of StO2 during the reperfusion phase, corresponding to relative hyperemia). Both are expressed in %/s. The intensity of reperfusion can be quantified by delta THI.
    A recent study in cardiac surgery did not show StO2 modifications under CBP but providing a small population sample and the type of monitoring used, this study might include some methodologic biais. Finally, very recently a correlation between FMD and the variation of NIRS during a vascular occlusion test has been found in a young healthy subject, which only confirms the influence of endothelial function onto microcirculation.
    variation du diamètre de l'artère brachiale et StO2 périphérique:
    A/ Le FMD (Flow Mediated vasoDilation) qui est la technique non invasive considérée comme la référence pour l’étude de la réactivité endothéliale depuis la fin des années 90. Ce monitoring se base sur la mesure de la variation du diamètre de l’artère brachiale par échographie ainsi que la vitesse du flux dans cette artère par Doppler, après une ischémie transitoire de 5 minutes induite par le gonflement d’un garrot placé distalement sur l’avant – bras (test d’occlusion). Plusieurs études ont déjà démontré une altération réversible de la fonction endothéliale essentiellement après chirurgie sous CEC utilisant une pompe a flux continu (11%). Nous nous attendons à un effet de réduction de la dysfonction endothéliale par les corticoïdes de 5%, nous allons analyser un groupe de 60 patients dont 30 dans le groupe Corticoïdes et 30 dans le groupe contrôle.
    B/ Le NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) – c’est une technique non invasive de mesure de la saturation tissulaire en 02 qui, lors d’un test d’occlusion artériel, permet de mesurer la consommation d’oxygène et la réactivité de la microcirculation distalement au garrot. Les altérations des variables dérivées du changement de la StO2 (saturation tissulaire en O2) après une manœuvre d’ischémie – reperfusion, plutôt que la valeur de StO2 au repos, sont associées à un mauvais pronostic du patient septique ou traumatisé crânien. Tout récemment, une corrélation entre le FMD et la variation du NIRS lors d’un test d’occlusion chez un sujet jeune en bonne santé a été démontrée, ce qui confirme l’influence de la fonction endothéliale sur la microcirculation.

    La veille de la chirurgie, à l'admission à l'USI, à 24h et au J7
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    C/ Syndecan – 1 concentration assessment: This molecule is closely linked to glycocalyx and is considered as the most predictive marker of its integrity.
    Many factors might cause lesions of this structure (inflammation, hyperglycemia, CBP, etc). Its destruction causes further an impairement of endothelial function (vasoconstriction et vasodilation), mediated principally by endothelial factors.
    Corticoids can be considered as the most effective molecule for glycocalyx protection.
    Yet we will analyze syndecan - 1 as a glycocalyx marker, then endothelial markers (facteur de von Willebrandt ) and inflammation markers (CRP).
    C/ Le dosage de la variation en syndécan 1: Cette molécule qui est étroitement liée au glycocalyx (surface protectrice de l’endothélium) est considérée comme le marqueur le plus fiable de la perte de son intégrité. De nombreux facteurs peuvent engendrer des lésions de cette structure (inflammation, hyperglycémie, CEC, etc). Sa destruction entraîne une altération de la fonction endothéliale (vasoconstriction et vasodilatation) qui est médiée principalement par les facteurs endothéliaux. Les corticoïdes représentent actuellement les molécules les plus efficaces pour la protection du glycocalyx. Nous allons doser le syndecan 1 et secondairement les marqueurs d’endothélium (facteur de von Willebrandt et que les marqueurs de l’inflammation dont la CRP.
