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   44008   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7316   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.

    E.5 End points

    after 24 hours
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Key secondary efficacy endpoint is the change in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores from baseline to 24 hours.
    Secondary clinical efficacy endpoints: Survival at visit 6 (V6), and V7; NIHSS score (neurological status) at V2, V4, V5, V6, and V7; modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, and Barthel Index score at V6 and V7; MoCA at V7 (controlled for Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) at V5), Stroke Impact Scale 16 (SIS-16), EuroQoL Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), and Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores at V7; PaO2 at V3, and V5
    Clinical safety endpoints:all-cause death at V6, and V7; stroke related death at V6, and V7; symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage until V6; vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart and respiratory rate, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2)) at V1-V7, with body temperature at V1, V5, and V6; 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) at V1, and V5; laboratory (blood count, clinical chemistry, coagulation) at V5, and V6; length of ICU stay, hospital stay, and duration of ventilation at V6, and V7; concomitant invasive procedures (e.g. intravenous/intra-arterial thrombolysis, thrombectomy, stenting, carotid surgery, decompressive hemicraniectomy, cardioversion, patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure) until V7.
    Secondary imaging efficacy endpoints: relative changes in ischemic core volume (in %) from baseline to 24 hours; absolute and relative ischemic core change from baseline to 24 hours using using either NCCT or DWI-MRI (or CT angiography source images and DWI) for ischemic core estimation at baseline absolute and relative ischemic core change from baseline to 24 hours using cerebral blood flow (CBF)
    < 30% for ischemic core estimation at baseline in all patients, independent of imaging modality; penumbral salvage from baseline to 24 hours; TICI (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction perfusion scale grade) in patients who underwent TBY; revascularization on 24-hour follow-up imaging.
    Imaging safety endpoints: new microbleeds on 24-hour follow-up imaging; any intracranial hemorrhage on 24-hour follow-up imaging; peri-interventional occurrence of vasospasms; ischemic lesions in new territories on 24-hour follow-up imaging.
