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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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
    The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of a high-dose continuous infusion of esmolol versus placebo on the primary outcomes of improving myocardial protection, weighed through CK-MB and cTnI release, and the incidence of postoperative low cardiac output syndrome.
    Lo scopo di questo studio ¿ di indagare se l'esmololo migliora la protezione miocardica intraoperatoria e se questa migliore protezione influisce sul decorso postoperatorio dei pazienti. E' nostro intento dimostrare che i pazienti trattati con esmololo presentano un picco postoperatorio di marker cardiaci significativamente inferiore, richiedono un minore supporto inotropo e mostrano un decorso postoperatorio migliore con una pi¿ bassa morbidit¿ e una minore degenza ospedaliera.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the impact of esmolol versus placebo on key secondary endpoints including: operative mortality, ICU and hospital stay, and the most important clinical outcomes: stroke, postoperative myocardial infarction, renal failure, and prolonged need for mechanical ventilation.
    a. Confrontare l'efficacia dell' infusione continua di esmololo rispetto al placebo sull¿ outcome primario dello studio che riguarda il miglioramento della protezione miocardica, valutata attraverso il rilascio da parte del miocardio nel torrente circolatorio di CK-MB e cTnI, e l'incidenza di bassa portata cardiaca postoperatoria (LCOS= low cardiac output syndrome).
    b. Valutare l'impatto dell' esmololo rispetto al placebo sugli endpoints secondari che sono la mortalit¿ operatoria, la durata di degenza in terapia intensiva, la durata di degenza ospedaliera e la morbidit¿ (ictus, infarto miocardico postoperatorio, insufficienza renale, insufficienza respiratoria con necessita di ventilazione meccanica prolungata).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    xxxxxxxx
    L’end-point primario è rappresentato dal miglioramento della protezione miocardica, e verrà valutato attraverso due parametri:
    1) il rilascio nel torrente ematico degli enzimi specifici di danno miocardico e cioè l’isoenzima MB della creatinchinasi (CK-MB) e la troponina I (cTnI) .
    2) l'incidenza di bassa portata postoperatoria (LCOS, low cardiac output syndrome) che si verifica a causa della disfunzione cardiaca per una non adeguata protezione miocardica durante l’intervento chirurgico.
