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.

    Protection of trial subjects
    The study protocol was published by the British Medical Journal Open (BMJ Open)36 and was approved by the National Committee on Health Research Ethics (Approval number: S-20180214). Registration with EudraCT (European Union Drug Regulating Authorities Clinical Trials Database) registration number: 2017–001612-11DK (October 27, 2017. URL: https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ctrsearch/ trial/2017-001612-11/DK) was performed, upon approval from the Danish Medicines Agency. Monitoring was performed by Good Clinical Practice (GCP). Registration with the Danish Data Protection Agency was done, and all data collected were stored online using REDCap, which complies with international confidentiality and GCP guidelines.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    All mechanically ventilated patient was screened from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day during the study period and candidates fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were found using clinical observation and the hospital medical record. Patients that were eligible for inclusion were contacted by the investigator (MD) and informed written and

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Inclusion criteria: admission to the ICU. 18 years old or over. Anticipated stay in the ICU for another day after the first sleep recording. Mechanically ventilated patients. Hemodynamically stable patients. Acceptable PSG recording during the first night. Conscious non-sedated patients with the Danish language. Exclusion criteria: SOFA score

    Blinding implementation details
    Neither the electronic treatment code, randomization envelopes nor the study drug was accessible to the investigators, nor anyone employed in the ICU. No contact with the pharmacy personnel preparing the study drug was allowed at any time. Only the data manager and the GCP monitor had access to the randomization code. Sleep assessments were done randomly by an independent doctor having only the randomization code for identification, thus blinded to treatment and the order of the recordings

    Justification: The data distribution has been tested for skewness, kurtosis, and standard deviation. T-test has been used in the case of normally distributed data and the Wilcoxon-rank-sum test, for non-parametric data. Linear regression has been used to determine correlations between the outcome and clinically relevant variables: days from admission (not equalized between groups), gender, age, BMI, APACHE-II (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation), SAPS3 (simplified acute physiologic score), S
