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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this clinical cohort study is to determine local tissue concentrations of cefuroxime in deadspace, bone, muscle and subcutaneous tissue using micro dialysis in patients having either anatomic (ASA) or reverse (RSA) shoulder prosthesis surgery at Aarhus University Hospital. Approximate 30 min. prior to surgery, a weight-based dose of cefuroxime (20 mg / kg) is administered as a bolus infusion over 10 min intravenously. At the end of surgery micro dialysis catheters are placed in the deadspace, in the coracoid bone process, in the deltoid muscle and in subcutaneous tissue. The second cefuroxime dose is administered 8 hours after the first dose. Deadspace: At RSA, one catheter is placed in the large deadspace above the joint. At ASA, one catheter is placed in the prosthetic joint (intra-articular) and one above the rotator cuff (subacromial). In total, 4 catheters per patient in group 1 (RSA), and 5 catheters per patient in group 2 (ASA).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients were provided with analgesic drugs concerning surgery following local guidelines. Food and drinks were also provided when needed. No patients experienced discomfort and no study-related adverse events were observed. A research assistant was with the patients during the study period.
