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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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.

    • Failure to obtain written consent to participate
    • Patients in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Women of child-bearing potential will be screened by a urine pregnancy test before inclusion in the study

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary study endpoint will be the change of infection-associated adverse events rate for patients treated by the PCT-guided stopping rule compared to patients treated by standard of care. The infection-associated adverse events rate is considered as the advent of any case of CDI or infection by MDR or infection-related death with the first six months from study inclusion.
    Το κύριο καταληκτικό σημείο θα είναι η αλλαγή της επίπτωσης των ανεπιθύμητων συμβάντων που έχουν σχέση με λοιμώξεις στους ασθενείς που θα αντιμετωπιστούν με τη χρήση της προκαλσιτονίνης σε σχέση με αυτούς που θα λάβουν την καθιερωμένη θεραπεία. Τα ανεπιθύμητα συμβάντα που σχετίζονται με λοιμώξεις είναι κάθε περίπτωση λοίμωξης από Clostridium difficile ή λοίμωξης από MDR ή κάθε περίπτωση θανάτου που οφείλεται σε λοίμωξη εντός των πρώτων έξι μηνών από την ένταξη στη μελέτη.
