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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 determine the rate of patients with complete asparagine (ASN) depletion in serum during induction treatment and to demonstrate non-inferiority of rASNase compared to Asparaginase medac with respect to this parameter.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Only pseudonymous collection and storage of patient’s data
    Background therapy
    		 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) type chemotherapy
    Evidence for comparator
    		 To demonstrate non-inferiority of rASNase compared to Asparaginase medac
