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   44260   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7346   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.

    L'évolution de la pente VE/VCO2 ou « efficience ventilatoire » mesurée lors d’une épreuve d’effort cardio-respiratoire avant et après la période de traitement de 6 mois.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    after the 6-months treatment period
    avant et après la période de traitement de 6 mois
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Evolution between inclusion and end of treatment (6 months) for the following criteria:
    - Clinical endpoints:
    o Functional class from I to IV (New York Heart Association Functional classification).
    o Oxygen saturation (SaO2): measured routinely using a transcutaneous sensor in all cyanogen CHD and/or patient with PAH [30].
    o 6-minute walk test (6MWT).
    - Health-related quality of life:
    o The SF-36 questionnaire [33].
    - SV function evaluation with non-invasive imaging:
    o Echocardiography: systemic blood flow, SV systolic ejection fraction, 2D Strain SV function.
    o MRI: systemic and pulmonary blood flows in phase contrast, SV systolic ejection fraction and volumes [34].
    - NT Pro BNP: this blood test is a biomarker routinely checked in heart failure. It is also a prognostic factor in PAH [35].
    - Cardio-pulmonary exercise test (CPET): The CPET has become the "gold standard" exam in the follow-up of heart failure [25] even in CHD patients [30]. The following values will be measured as detailed in our previous studies [3, 36]:
    o The maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max),
    o The first anaerobic threshold (AT), the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (AT) using Beaver’s method [37],
    o The oxygen pulse (ratio VO2/heart rate) at rest, at AT and at the peak,
    o The OUES (oxygen uptake efficiency slope); VO2 = OUES x log10 VE + b) [38]–[40].
    - Lung function:
    o Spirometry: forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC ratio (FEV1%), DEMM25/75,
    o Capillary lung volume: pulmonary CO/NO transfer (patient seated and lying down) [42,43].
    - Cardiac catheterization: mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mmHg).
    - Percentage of patients compliant at 6 months of study treatment.

    L’évolution entre l’inclusion et la fin du traitement (6 mois) pour les critères suivants:
    - Critères cliniques:
    o Classe fonctionnelle de I à IV (classe fonctionnelle de la New York Heart Association).
    o Saturation en oxygène (SaO2): mesurée régulièrement à l'aide d'un capteur transcutané chez tous les patients avec cardiopathie cyanogène et/ou chez les patients avec d'HTAP.
    o Test de marche de 6 minutes (TM6).
    - Qualité de vie liée à la santé : questionnaire SF36.
    - Fonction du ventricule unique par imagerie non invasive :

    o IRM: flux sanguins systémiques et pulmonaires en contraste de phase, fraction et volumes d'éjection systolique du ventricule unique.
    - NT Pro-BNP: ce test sanguin est un biomarqueur régulièrement contrôlé en cas d’insuffisance cardiaque. C'est également un facteur pronostique de l'HTAP.
    - Test d'effort cardio-pulmonaire qui est devenu l'examen de référence pour le suivi de l'insuffisance cardiaque, même chez les patients avec cardiopathie congénitale. Les valeurs suivantes seront mesurées comme détaillé dans nos études précédentes :
    o La consommation maximale d'oxygène (VO2max),
    o Le seuil anaérobie ou « premier seuil ventilatoire » (SV1), selon la méthode de Beaver,
