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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 efficacy and safety of 3 doses of Somatuline Autogel (60 milligram [mg]) in the control of the infiltration and oedema of the muscle and retrobulbar connective tissue and in the retraction and contraction of the extraocular musculature in patients with active thyroid-associated opthalmopathy of moderate intensity.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The clinical study was conducted in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation Consolidated Guideline on Good Clinical Practice, under the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki. In addition, this clinical study adhered to all local regulatory requirements.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The study was prematurely terminated due to poor recruitment; 20 patients were planned but only 5 were included over a 12-month period. The limited efficacy data was listed only; no descriptive or inferential statistical analysis was performed.
