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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 evaluate the safety of once daily treatment with esomeprazole in relieving GERD-associated symptoms in pediatric patients 1 to 11 years of age, inclusive.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Before first patient into the study, a representative of AstraZeneca visited the investigational study site to: • determine the adequacy of the facilities • discuss with the investigator(s) (and other personnel involved with the study) their responsibilities with regard to protocol adherence, and the responsibilities of AstraZeneca or its representatives. This was documented in a Clinical Study Agreement between AstraZeneca and the investigator. During the study, a monitor from AstraZeneca or company representing AstraZeneca had regular contacts with the investigational site, including visits to: • provide information and support to the investigator(s) • confirm that facilities remained acceptable • confirm that the investigational team was adhering to the protocol, that data were being accurately recorded in the CRFs, and that investigational product accountability checks were being performed • perform source data verification (a comparison of the data in the CRFs with the patient’s medical records at the hospital or practice, and other records relevant to the study). This required direct access to all original records for each patient (eg, clinic charts).
