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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Evaluation of efficacy of Dexdor for prolonged sedation in paediatric patients; Evaluation of safety and tolerability of Dexdor in paediatric population.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Sedation level was monitored throughout the study, and rescue and pain medication was administered, when needed. Vital signs (e.g. heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body temperature, ventilation frequency (for patients with spontaneous ventilation)) was assessed frequently after start of study treatment. Continuous cardiac and respiratory monitoring was done throughout the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Children aged 12-17 years, with clinical need for prolonged sedation were recruited in 5 study centers in Russian.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The investigator assessed and pre-screened patients staying in ICU. Clinical situations that need prolonged sedation were e.g. trauma, injuries or surgical corrections. Patients with clinical need for prolonged (at least 24h) sedation (target RASS = 0 to -3), and who met all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were included.

    End point description
    Maintaining the target sedation level endpoint was defined as the proportion of time during study treatment with a RASS score within the individually-prescribed target range without rescue medication. The total amount of time that the patient remains within their target RASS range without rescue medication were divided by the amount of time of the treatment period. RESULT: Proportion of time within the target sedation range without rescue medication. Mean % (SD) 88.9 (9.9), N=57, Proportion of time within the target sedation range without rescue medication: Estimate of the least squares mean, 90% C.I.: 92.2 ( 86.04, 95.80). N=57
