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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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
    1. improvement of prognosis of children and adolescents by intensification of cytostatic therapy by randomized implementation of liposomal daunorubicine in first induction 2. randomized implementation of 2-CDA as intensification in consolidation therapy for patients in high risk group with the aim of improvement of prognosis 3. randomized examination of efficacy of prophylactic CNS radiation 18 Gy vs. 12 Gy Notably, EudraCT number 2006-004710-41 had to be obtained only for the Austrian part of this much larger international academic Trial because the study was started on the national level in the month after a national legislative revision of the Austrian Medicinal Products Act in line with EU-Directive 2001/20/EC, whereas the trial was conducted in the main other countries under rules not yet falling under this Revision.
