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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary study objective is to predict the occurrence of neonatal pulmonary hypertension by measuring the pulmonary artery reactivity to maternal hyperoxygenation in fetuses at risk of neonatal respiratory morbidity.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Pregnant patients were administered the IMP in a semi recumbent position in order to prevent any discomfort during administration of IMP.

    End point title
    Diagnosis of Persistent pulmonary hypertension PPHN
    End point description
    Persistent pulmonary hypertension will be defined by echocardiography as well as by clinical indicators as follows. 1) A requirement of at least 0.4 Fractional Inspired Oxygen to maintain a preductal saturation of ≥ 95%; and, 2) Normal Structural anatomy of the heart on echocardiogram; and, 3) In the presence of tricuspid regurgitant (TR) jet, an estimated right ventricular systolic pressure (using the Bernoulli Equation) ≥ 50% of the systemic systolic pressure measured at the start of the echocardiogram; or 4) In the presence of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA of a low velocity shunt across the PDA from left to right such that the estimated Right Ventricular/ Pulmonary artery pressures was >50% systemic 5) In the absence of a TR jet or a PDA, an intraventricular septum bowing into the left ventricular cavity.

    Adverse events

    Adverse events information [1]
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse events were captured from enrolment until 2 hours post IMP administration
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    All AEs occurring during the 2 hour post IMP period were captured. These AEs were either observed by the investigator or reported by the subject, whether or not they were attributed to the study medication. The CRF captured AE description, date of onset and end date, severity, assessment of relatedness to the study medication.

    Frequency threshold for reporting non-serious adverse events: 0%
    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: Adverse events were captured until 1 hour post administration of the IMP and no subjects reported any adverse events. The IMP is commonly used in this patient population and the investigators did not anticipate any adverse events.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    22 Nov 2017
    1) Sample Size analysis section was revised to increase the sample size from a total of 60-75 participants to 80-95 participants. The rationale for the sample size amendment was the addition of a new cohort population (non-pregnant controls) to the study. 2) For key inclusion criteria, an additional category of subjects was added: Non-pregnant controls. The rationale for this new category was to compare the haemodynamic changes in both maternal and non-maternal controls following the test product. 3) The Data Safety Monitoring Board was removed from the trial protocol. The rationale for this was due to the small number of subjects recruited to the trial and the high safety profile of the IMP administered over 10 minutes, a DSMB was not considered necessary by the Sponsor. The side effect profile of the IMP administered for a total duration of 10 minutes is negligible and at the time of the substantial amendment, no safety concerns or adverse outcomes had arisen.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
