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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    Perioperative anxiety in children scheduled for an elective circumcision, dental care or tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy in day-care
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Perioperative anxiety in children scheduled for an elective circumcision, dental care or tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy in day-care
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment [E] - Anesthesia and Analgesia [E03]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The goal of this study is, first, to evaluate the need for midazolam-premedication in pediatric day-care patients induced by inhalational anesthesia, and second, to compare the efficacy and safety between anxiolysis by multimedia with an IPAD versus (no anxiolysis) and versus anxiolysis by premedication with midazolam prior to anesthetic-induction.
    Our hypothesis is that Tablet/IPAD distraction could result in equal or better anxiety control in comparison to the standard care with midazolam-premedication.
    The primary endpoint is reduction in level of anxiety perioperative, primarily during induction in children between one and eight years of age in day-care-surgery.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary objectives are to compare between both trial arms:
    - Anxiety reduction perioperative on daycare, holding and recovery
    - the incidence of stressful anesthetic mask-inductions
    - The incidence of laryngeal spasms or bronchospasm
    - Parental satisfaction
    - parental stress/anxiety level
    - Postoperative anxiety
    - Postoperative POCIS
    - RASS-score evaluation of sedation or possible negative behavior preoperative after midazolam administration
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Age ≥ 1 year and <8 years old
    - ASA 1 or 2
    - Elective circumcision, tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy, dental care procedure in day-care
    - Written informed consent by the legal parents or caretaker
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Parents of the patient wish not to participate with the study
    - Parents are not able to give informed consent (language barrier, legally incapable)
    - A contraindication for the use of premedication with midazolam
    - A known allergy to midazolam
    - A contraindication for premedication in general
    - A contraindication for the use of a gas-induction/gas-anesthesia
    - A contraindication for the use of sevoflurane
    - A known mental retardation of the child
    - Preoperative behavioral disturbances and psychiatric disorders
    - Any use of psychoactive medication
    - A known photosensitive epilepsy
    - A previous operation within 3 months of the time of scheduled operation
    - Any other contraindication for the use of the study medication
    - Previous history of multiple surgery (>3)
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary endpoints are the difference in perioperative anxiety between the two groups measured with mYpas-score and parental-scoring with the 5-point anxiety scale.

    Perioperative anxiety
    The definition peri-anesthetic anxiety until gas-induction will be qualified by scaling using the Short version modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale(mYPAS-SF). The scale is derived from the mYPAS made more practical without any loss of significant clinical information regarding children’s preoperative anxiety. The mYPAS-SF will be scored by trained nurses and anesthesiologists. The mYPAS is validated for children between 1 and 15 years of age. (14) (15) (16) See APPENDIX II

    There will be scored with mYPAS-SF on daycare preoperative and on the holding by the nurse, directly post-induction by the anesthetist or resident and postoperative on the recovery when fully awake.
    A difference of >10 point would be stated as significant conform Marechal et al. (12)
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    There will be scored with mYPAS-SF on daycare preoperative and on the holding by the nurse, directly post-induction by the anesthetist or resident and postoperative on the recovery when fully awake.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    - Stressful inductions (anesthetic satisfaction)
    Definition of stressful anesthetic inductions will be qualified by scaling and noted by the anesthesiologist, directly post-induction.

    1. Cooperative Smooth Induction: no crying, no unrest
    2. Passive induction: crying, no unrest
    3. Anxious induction: crying and unrest
    4. Combative induction: total hysteric
    2. Parental scoring for anxiety of the patient

    - Parental scoring for anxiety of the patient will be done by the following the 5-point anxiety scale used:
    1. Happy (playing)
    2. Happy/little worried (playing cautiously)
    3. Worried (no playing, silently)
    4. Anxious (crying)
    5. Hysterical (crying and screaming)
    Parental scoring will be done, on the daycare preoperative, on the holding, postoperative on the recovery.

    - Respiratory postoperative complications
    Scored directly post-induction and post detubation

    - Laryngospasm: Four-point scale (17)
    1. No Laryngospasm
    2. Mild laryngospasm (relieved by jaw thrust and 100% oxygen)
    3. Moderate laryngospasm (relieved by 100% oxygen and positive pressure ventilation)
    4. Severe laryngospasm (relieved by succinylcholine and intubation)

    - Bronchospasm/wheezing
    1. Yes
    2. No
    • In absence of a scale

    - Parental Satisfaction on the anxiety-management perioperative: measured on holding, after induction, recovery, postop daycare unit.
    1. Extremely satisfied
    2. Satisfied
    3. Neutral
    4. Unsatisfied
    5. Extremely Unsatisfactory

    - Postoperative POCIS-Score by leaving the recovery. POCIS is more suitable for young children then the traditional VAS-score (18) See Appendix III of the protocol

    - Preoperative sedation or negative behavior
    Evaluation of sedation or possible negative behavior preoperative after midazolam is done by the RASS-score. (19) See Appendix III of the protocol
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    There will be scored on daycare preoperative and on the holding by the nurse, directly post-induction by the anesthetist or resident and postoperative on the recovery when fully awake.
