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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this project is to determine whether N-acetyl-cysteine supplementation in women with moderate or severe Threatened Premature Delivery corrects fetal blood glutathione deficiency at birth.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Eligible patients are mothers admitted to Nantes University Hospital with severe or moderate MAP between 24 and 34 weeks' gestation. Following information, informed maternal consent after sufficient time for reflection, and inclusion in the study, patients will receive the treatment determined by randomisation. As part of the study, patients will be monitored for the duration of NAC supplementation and until delivery, with collection of a venous cord blood sample to measure GSH (primary endpoint). However, for reasons of safety and vigilance, the patient will be monitored until 72 hours post-partum. In the event of transfer to another neonatology unit, monitoring should be continued by regular telephone contact with the peripheral hospital centre. Overall neonatal follow-up (via the hospitalisation report) will then be carried out by the investigation team in order to collate pathologies of interest within the framework of GSH-MAP: ECUN, SDR/DBP, retinopathy, HIV, etc.
