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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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
    1) To replicate efficacy of intravenous ketamine in Treatment resistant depressed patients in a Belgian sample
    Protection of trial subjects
    availability of emergency medication at study site, minitoring of vital signs, constant supervision during drug administration and 4h post administration; follow-up of adverse events and report to the eudravigilance database
    Background therapy
    		 general antidepressant medication as described by current psychiatrist or physician; other medication not prohibited by the study protocol
    Evidence for comparator
    		 The placebo is approximately 0.9 percent solution of sodium chloride and is used to compare to the study drug, it has proven successful in previous clinical trials with ketamine

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The recruitment has been ongoing since end december 2016. Recruitment was slow and we did not achieve the initial number of participants. The final inclusion was 29 patients and 26 controls.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Before screening patients need to have stable medication for 4 weeks. Patients excluded for participation in the study show symptoms of psychosis, alcohol abuse, other physical disease or are not interested to participate. The requirement for stable medication for at least 4 weeks limits inclusion by treating physicians.

    		 Depressive sympotm change over time per group
    End point description
    Here we assess a simple linear mixed model to assess the change of depressive symptoms over time. We include an interaction effect of Treatment and timepoint to see if the groups differ at any given timepoint and a random intercept. The model is as follows: Depression severity ~ timepoint*treatment condition+ random intercept

    Notes
    [2] - Linear mixed model to determine development over time.
    [3] - We here tested whether any timepoint or group effect is significant at the p<0.05 level. The platform does not allow to fill in several p values which is required for this analysis. Therefore we here report the overall group effect of the model.
