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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    Who are not responsive to topical corticosteroid treatment or have reported adverse reactions to topical corticosteroids

    Who have had topical therapy (e.g. tar, topical corticosteroid) known or suspected to have a therapeutic effect on atopic dermatitis within 4 days prior to first application of study medication

    Who have received phototherapy (e.g. UVA, UVB) or systemic therapy (e.g. immunosuppressants, cyclosporine, corticosteroids, cytostatics) known or suspected to have an effect on AD within 4 weeks prior to the first application of study medication

    Who have received investigational drugs within 8 weeks of first application of study drug or planned use of other investigational drugs during participation of this study

    Who have abnormally functioning HPA-axis as determined by plasma cortisol measurement
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint of this study is to investigate the safety of concomitant use of pimecrolimus 1% cream plus TCS versus TCS alone for the treatment of severe AD in pediatric patients by comparing the Kaplan-Meier incidence rates of AEs of clinical interest in the treatment period.
