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.

    A Prospective, Randomised, Active-Controlled, Single-blind, Parallel Group Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Fibrin Sealant Grifols (FS Grifols) as an Adjunct to Haemostasis during Surgery in Paediatric Subjects.
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    This study aims to see how good and safe a new body glue (fibrin sealant) product called FS Grifols is in children undergoing surgery. We want to see if it can reduce the time taken to stop bleeding when it is tested against a commercially available body glue called EVICEL®.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fibrin Sealant Grifols (FS Grifols) as an adjunct to achieve hemostasis during surgery in pediatric subjects.

    Primary Efficacy Objective
    • To evaluate if FS Grifols is non-inferior to EVICEL® in terms of the proportion of subjects achieving hemostasis at the target bleeding site (TBS) by 4 minutes (T4) from the start of treatment application (TStart) with no occurrence of rebleeding until the completion of the surgical closure by layers of the exposed surgical field containing the TBS (TClosure).

    Safety Objective
    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of FS Grifols in pediatric subjects undergoing surgery
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary Efficacy Objectives
    • To determine the cumulative proportion of subjects achieving hemostasis at the TBS by the defined observation time points of 7 minutes (T7) and 10 minutes (T10) from TStart
    • To determine prevalence of treatment failures

    Exploratory Efficacy Objectives
    • To determine the proportion of subjects achieving at least 1 point decrease in bleeding intensity according to the 5-point validated bleeding severity scale by the defined observation time points of T4, T7, and T10
    • To determine the mean change from baseline in bleeding intensity according to the 5 point validated bleeding severity scale at the defined observation time points of T4, T7, and T10
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Inclusion Criteria:
    A subject must meet all the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for participation in this study.
    Pre-operative:
    1. Is less than 18 years of age.

    2. Requires an elective (non-emergent), open (non-laparoscopic), pelvic, abdominal, or thoracic (non-cardiac) surgical procedure.

    3. Subject and/or subject’s legal guardian is willing to give permission for the subject to participate in the clinical trial and provide written informed consent for the subject. In addition, assent must be obtained from pediatric subjects who possess the intellectual and emotional ability to comprehend the concepts involved in the clinical trial.

    Intra-operative:
    4. Presence of an appropriate (as defined in inclusion criterion 5) parenchymous or soft tissue TBS identified intra-operatively by the investigator (the surgeon).

    5. TBS has Grade 1 (mild) or Grade 2 (moderate) bleeding intensity according to the investigator’s (the surgeon’s) judgment. The intensity of the bleeding at the TBS will be rated by the investigator using the 5-point validated bleeding severity scale.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    A subject meeting any of the following exclusion criteria is NOT eligible for participation in the study.
    Pre-operative:
    1. Subjects admitted for trauma surgery.
    2. Subjects unwilling to receive blood products.
    3. Subjects with known history of severe (eg, anaphylactic) reaction to blood products.
    4. Subjects with known history of intolerance to any of the components of the investigational product (IP).
    5. Female subjects who are pregnant, breastfeeding or, if of child-bearing potential (ie, adolescent), unwilling to practice a highly effective method of contraception (eg, oral, injectable, or implanted hormonal methods of contraception, placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system, condom or occlusive cap with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository, male sterilization, or true abstinence) throughout the study.
    True abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods], declaration of abstinence for the duration of a trial, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.).
    6. Subjects previously enrolled in a clinical trial with FS Grifols.
    7. Subjects currently participating, or during the study is planned to participate, in any other investigational device or medicinal product study without prior and explicit approval from the sponsor.

    Intra-operative:
    8. An appropriate parenchymous or soft tissue TBS (as defined in exclusion criteria 9 and 10) cannot be identified intra-operatively by the investigator (the surgeon).
    9. The TBS has Grade 3 (severe) bleeding according to the investigator’s (the surgeon’s) judgment that cannot be controlled with conventional surgical techniques to Grade 1 or Grade 2 bleeding. The intensity of the bleeding at the TBS will be rated by the investigator using the 5-point validated bleeding severity scale.
    10. The TBS is in an actively infected surgical field.
    11. Occurrence of major intra-operative complications that require resuscitation or deviation from the planned surgical procedure.
    12. Application of any topical hemostatic agent on the resection surface of parenchyma or soft tissue prior to application of the IP.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary efficacy endpoint in this clinical trial is the proportion of subjects achieving hemostasis at the TBS by T4, with no occurrence of rebleeding until the completion of the surgical closure by layers of the exposed surgical field containing the TBS (TClosure).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    T4: 4 minutes after start of treatment application
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • Cumulative proportion of subjects achieving hemostasis at the TBS by the defined observation time points of T7 and T10
    • Prevalence of treatment failures
