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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess if NT-proBNP measurement-guided cardiologist-referral of CHF patients, who were currently judged by their primary care physician as being clinically stable*, leads to optimization of HF treatment, defined as adherence# to level I-A treatment recommendations of the current§ ESC guidelines for the treatment of HF.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The enrolled set consisted of 1415 patients (1431 patients entered the study, of which 16 patients were not included in the analysis due to missing core baseline characteristics, missing informed consent or both).

The proportion of patients for whom an ESC guideline adherent treatment was de novo prescribed was assessed stratified according to different parameters.

    At 10 months after baseline (end of study) NT-proBNP was assessed in clinically stable CHF patients with baseline NT-proBNP levels ≥ 600 pg/ml. Thus, for those patients two NT-proBNP measurements were available: at baseline and 10 months later. The individual change of NT-proBNP between both time points were assessed in accordance to the patients’ treatment history during the study, i.e. baseline Heart Failure treatment and therapeutic decision taken 6 months after baseline.
