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
    To determine whether epidural analgesia is superior to placebo, in reducing pain (measured in NRS) in patients after open lumbar decompression surgery.
    Onderzoeken of intra-operatieve epidurale pijnstilling superieur is aan een placebo in het verminderen van pijn bij patiënten die een interlaminaire decompressie ondergaan en of dit lijdt tot minder post-operatief opioïd gebruik in de eerste 48 uur na OK
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To determine whether epidural analgesia leads to a reduction in cumulative opioid use until 48 hours postoperatively
    To determine whether epidural analgesia leads to higher patient satisfaction than placebo.
    To determine whether epidural analgesia leads to shorter hospital stay.
    To determine whether epidural analgesia leads to less adverse events.
    Onderzoeken of epidurale pijnstilling zorg voor minder morfinegebruik post-operatief, betere patiënttevredenheid, korter ziekenhuisverblijf en minder complicaties
