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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Due to the significant reduction of BNP by inhibiting sympathic nerve activity we hypothesize that supplemental oxygen have beneficial effects in perioperative BNP release in cardiac risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients received randomly assigned 80% versus 30% inspired oxygen concentration throughout surgery and for the first two postoperative hours. We continuously measured peripheral oxygen saturation and measured blood gas analysis hourly. In the case 30% oxygen concentration was not enough, which was defined as peripheral oxygen saturation lower than 93%, we stepwise increased oxygen contraction, to provide sufficient oxygen saturation.
    Background therapy
    Perioperative treatment was performed according to clinical standard of care.

    Notes
    [1] - For our secondary outcome we first performed a univariable logistic regression model (using firths correction) to analyze the influence of supplemental oxygen on the incidence of MINS. MINS was defined using the following perioperative high-sensitive Troponin T thresholds: a) troponin T of 20 to<65ng/L with an absolute change of at least 5 ng/Lor b) Troponin T level > 65ng/L. Furthermore, in patients whose Troponin T concentration was adjudicated from nonischemic etiology were not considered.
