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   44346   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7374   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.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Is it possible to reduce dehydration due to vomiting in the initial phase of enteritis with vomiting with Dimenhydrinate suppositories (weight adapted dosage) in comparison to placebo in children. Better rehydration is measured by weight gain in between visit 1 and 2 (visit 2 is 18-24 hours after visit 1)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Can the number of vomiting episodes between visit 1 and 2 be reduced by dimenhydrinat vs. placebo?
    Is there a reduction in the number of necessary hospitalisations due to infectious enteritis and vomiting in the study population?
    Is the condition of the child estimated by their caregivers (measured in a visual scale) improved.
    Furthermore adverse events and adverse drug reactions will be documented.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
