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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    The study will include patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The study will test whether treatment with Calcium Chloride added to standard care will improve survival following OHCA. The study is a double blind placebo controlled trial.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Cardiac arrest is the sudden cessation of cardiac activity resulting in the loss of blood flow, which results in loss of consciousness
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Cardiovascular Diseases [C14]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.2 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.2Version 20.0

    E.1.2Classification code 10007517
    E.1.2Term Cardiac arrest transient
    E.1.2System Organ Class 100000004849
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To determine whether calcium administration during adult OHCA will improve return of spontaneous circulation.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To determine whether calcium administration during adult OHCA will increase survival at 30 days and survival at 30 days with a favorable neurological outcome (modified Rankin Scale, mRS)
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1) OHCA
    2) Age ≥ 18 years
    3) Received at least one dose of adrenaline during CPR
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1) Traumatic OHCA
    2) Known or strongly suspected pregnancy
    3) Prior enrollment in the trial
    4) Already received one dose of adrenaline by a non-participating unit
    5) Clinical indication for calcium administration during the cardiac arrest
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary outcome, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), has been updated to "sustained ROSC". ROSC is defined as palpable pulses or other signs of circulation without a need for chest compressions. Sustained ROSC means that the patient withholds ROSC >20 min. These definitions were made before the initiation of the trial and were included in the first version of the data dictionary (time stamp: January 21st 2020).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The endpoint is evaluated during ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Key secondary outcomes will include survival as well as neurological outcome at 30 days. Neurological outcome will be assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS); scores 0-6 will be presented as counts and percentages, while the outcome will be dichotomized as favorable (mRS 0-3) vs. unfavorable (mRS 4-6).
