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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    To assess the nerve block the following tests will be performed:
    Sensory blockade will be evaluated via Pinprick testing (0 = no sensory feeling, 100 = no difference in sensory feeling to the corresponding non-blocked side) at the hypothenar area compared with the corresponding non-blocked side.
    Motor blockade will be evaluated via adduction of the thumb:
    - 3 = no difference, adduction against contra-force possible
    - 2 = slight difference, adduction against slight contra-force hardly possible
    - 1 = significant difference, adduction without contra-force hardly possible
    - 0 = no active adduction possible, paralysis

    Onset of sensory and motor block is defined as Pinprick = 0 in the hypothenar area (4 from 5 above-described areas to consider anatomical variations) and motor scale = 0.
    Duration of sensory and motor block is defined as Pinprick testing = back to 80 in the hypothenar area and motor scale = back to 1.


    The primary endpoint is the duration of sensory block and it is defined as Pinprick testing = 80 in the hypothenar area.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Sensory testing will be performed at the following time points (min):
    Baseline, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 min after the block, and then every 60 min until Pinprick testing = 80.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Duration of motor block
    Onset time of sensory nerve blockade
    Onset time of motor blockade
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Sensory and motor testing will be performed at the following time points (min):
    Baseline, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 min after the block, and then every 60 min until Pinprick testing = 80 and motor-scale = 1.
    Onset of sensory and motor block is defined as Pinprick = 0 in the hypothenar area (4 from 5 above-described areas to consider anatomical variations) and motor scale = 0.
    Duration of motor block is defined as motor scale = back to 1.
