CloSed Project

CloSed is an FP7 project with an international Consortium comprising 10 European partners and coordinated by Assoc Prof Antje Neubert, University Hospital of Erlangen.

The project aims to conduct a multicentre clinical trial of clonidine in children and adolescents. Indeed, despite its widespread use in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU), this drug still lacks authorization for pediatric use. A parenteral age-appropriate formulation of clonidine for sedation in PICU will be developed and tested in order to obtain a Pediatric Use Marketing Authorisation (PUMA).
