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   44363   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7387   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the non-inferiority of DSC-MRI perfusion using Elucirem at 0.05 mmol/kg compared to DSC-MRI perfusion using Dotarem at 0.1 mmol/kg in terms of diagnostic quality of CBV perfusion map (off-site assessment).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 141 patients were screened in 10 centers from three countries: 76 from four centers in Hungary, 48 from four centers in Italy and 17 from two centers in Poland.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Out of the 141 screened patients, 3 patients were screen failed. Therefore, 138 patients were randomized in the trial with 69 in each arm. Out of them, 2 patients prematurely discontinued the study before the injection of contrast agent. The remaining 136 patients underwent MRI examination with injection of IMP: 67 with Elucirem and 69 with Dotarem

    Diagnostic quality of CBV map- Off site assessment
    End point description
    Diagnostic quality of the CBV map was assessed by the two off-site blinded readers using the following scale (poor, fair, good or excellent) and by a consensus in case of discordance between the two readers. The proportion of patients with "excellent" or "good" diagnostic quality images of Elucirem group was compared to that of Dotarem group. 124 patients (60 with Elucirem and 64 with Dotarem) who had diagnostic CBV map and without protocol major deviation were included in the per-protocol analysis.

The proportion of patients with "excellent" or "good" diagnostic quality images of Elucirem group was compared to that of Dotarem group. 124 patients (60 with Elucirem and 64 with Dotarem) who had diagnostic CBV map and without major protocol deviation according to the off-site evaluation were included in the per-protocol primary analysis.

    Notes
    [3] - Non-inferiority was assessed by calculating the difference in proportion of patients presenting with images of excellent or good diagnostic quality between Elucirem and Dotarem groups, and by constructing a two-sided 95% confidence Interval (CI) around this difference. If the lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI was above the pre-stated margin of non-inferiority (-12%), Elucirem was declared non-inferior to Dotarem. The Wald statistical test with a continuity correction was used for CI.
