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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Reduction of postoperative complications of either high-risk surgical procedures or high-risk surgical patients through perioperative therapy of hypoalbuminemia (defined as <30g/l).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance the ethical principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP). Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. The study was regularly monitored by the Sponsor and all investigators connected to the study were GCP trained. During the intervention period subjects were under supervision of an anesthesiologist either in the operation room or postoperative care unit (PACU).
    Background therapy
    Standard of care, i.e., treatment of hypalbuminaemia only if serum albumin < 20 g/L and clinically necessary Concomitant medication and supportive therapy were carried out according to standard clinical guidelines and at the judgement of the investigators

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted in Germany single-centre between June 20, 2017 (first Patient recruited) and June 3, 2020 (last patient completed). After screening, checking for in- and exclusion criteria, and signing of the informed consent forms, the subjects will be randomized either in the intervention or observation group.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    After giving their consent, the patient was included in the clinical study. Only patients who meet all inclusion criteria and who do not have any exclusion criteria were included in the clinical study (screening). As soon as hypoalbuminemia was found in the laboratory, randomization takes place.

    Blinding implementation details
    Patient and outcome-assessor were blinded. The therapy takes place perioperatively and in the recovery room according to the mentioned guidelines without blinding. The doctors on the wards who diagnose and treat postoperative complications and the study doctors who record the postoperative complications until discharge are blinded.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of roles blinded appears inconsistent with a single blinded trial. It is expected that there will be one role blinded in a single blind trial.
