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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess the efficacy of haloperidol to resolve delirium in adult critically ill patients and thereby render the patient awake and non-delirious.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To study the efficacy of haloperidol to reduce ICU-delirium associated short- and long-term burdens (up to one-year), consisting of: 1) mortality; 2) cognitive and functional impairment; 3) patient- and family experiences and psychological sequelae during and after ICU stay; 4) safety concerns associated with haloperidol use.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Inclusion criteria for eligibility:
    1. Age ≥ 18 years
    2. Admitted to one of six participating ICUs of the EuRIDICE trial.

    Inclusion criteria for randomisation:
    1. Delirium, as assessed with the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist – ICDSC: ≥4 or Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU – CAM-ICU: positive). NB Delirium can occur in the course of ICU admission or be present at admission.
    2. Written Informed Consent is obtained from patient or legal representative
    3. Complies with inclusion criteria but NOT exclusion criteria for eligibility
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Exclusion criteria for eligibility
    1. Admitted to ICU with a neurological diagnosis (such as acute stroke, traumatic brain injury, intracranial malignancy, anoxic coma). Previous non-acute stroke or other previous neurological condition without cognitive deterioration is not an exclusion criterion.
    2. Pregnancy (to be excluded by pregnancy test in women of child baring age)
    3. History of ventricular arrhythmia including “torsade de pointes” (TdP)
    4. Known allergy to haloperidol
    5. History of dementia or an Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) score ≥ 4
    6. History of malignant neuroleptic syndrome or parkinsonism (either Parkinson’s disease or another hypokinetic rigid syndrome)
    7. Schizophrenia
    8. Inability to conduct valid delirium screening assessment (e.g. coma, deaf, blind) or inability to speak Dutch
    9. The patient is expected to die within 24 hours, or is expected to leave the ICU within 24 hours after evaluation (may be reassessed daily)

    Exclusion criteria for randomisation:
    1. Prolonged QT-interval (QTc > 500ms)
    2. (recent) “torsade de pointes” (TdP)
    3. (recent) malignant neuroleptic syndrome or parkinsonism
    4. Evidence of acute alcohol (or substance) withdrawal requiring pharmacological intervention (e.g. benzodiazepines or alfa-2 agonist) to treat
    5. IQCODE not assessed
    6. The patient is expected to die within 24 hours.
    7. No (previously) signed informed consent by patient or representative
    8. Current participation in another intervention trial that is evaluating a medication, device or behavioural intervention
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Delirium- and coma free days at ICU
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Up to 14 days after randomisation
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • Time from randomisation to resolution of delirium into a wakeful, non-delirious state.
    • Cognitive outcomes in ICU survivors at 3 and 12 months after ICU admission (assessment by trained research nurses or MSc students neuropsychology is feasible) with a brief cognitive assessment battery of validated and repeatable measures of general cognition, memory, language, processing speed, attention and executive functioning and mood (Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MOCA], Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Semantic fluency, Digit Span [WAIS-IV], Trailmaking tests A and B, Boston naming Test [short version], Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS]).
    • Functional outcomes and quality of life in survivors at 3 and 12 months after admission (Short Form-36 [SF-36]).
    • Mortality rate at 28 days and one year after randomisation.
    • Time to “readiness for discharge from the ICU”, as is being recorded routinely by all participating hospitals by the treating physicians on a daily basis, as an alternative to length-of-ICU stay which may be determined by other factors (e.g. capacity at the ward) than clinical condition.
    • Adverse drug associated events (prolonged QTc by EKG, muscle rigidity and other associated movements disorders [Simpson Angus Scale] and ventricular arrhythmia’s including torsade de pointes).
    • Patient and family-member well-being and experiences associated with delirium during and after ICU stay, assessed after hospital discharge and at 3 months after randomisation. We have chosen the most appropriate tool after consultation of our patient perspective representatives and the Steering Committee associated with this trial. The tools for this category of secondary outcomes are added to Appendix 2 (including a Table with overview of timing of assessments), and include the ICU Memory Tool (ICU-MT [21]), Delirium Experience Questionnaire (DEQ [22]), Caregiver Strain Index (CSI [23]).
    • Posttraumatic stress syndrome (PTSS) in participants and family-members at 3 months after admission with the Impact of Event Scale – Revisited (IES-R).
    • Maximum ICU Mobility Scale (IMS [24]) during ICU stay (and day of max IMS).
    • Quality of sleep (Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire [RCSQ] [25])
    • Workload experienced by ICU nurses while caring for delirious patients (based on Delirium Experience Questionnaire (DEQ [22]).
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    During ICU admission, at discharge from hospital, after 28 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.

    F.5 Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)
    During our follow-up phase we will assist patients on reflecting on their intensive care period. This will be done by questionnaires but also by allowing them the possibility to reflect on this period during follow-up visits. Follow-up care will be initiated if after neurocognitive tests we discover cognitive problems or symptoms of anxiety or depression, requiring further treatment. In these cases patients will be referred to their general practitioner.
