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   44202   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7332   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary end point is an assessment of objective response (OR) for each patient, defined as either complete cutaneous response (CR) or partial cutaneous response (PR), in subjects with CTCL Stages IIB, III, or IVA. Cutaneous response will be determined by use of a modified severity weighted assessment tool (mSWAT). Objective response will be defined as either no evidence of clinical disease or a marked improvement that is ≥50% decrease in mSWAT score compared to Baseline. Confirmation of objective response will be required by a second assessment after at least 28 days. At the time of confirmation of OR, CT scans (neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis) should be performed to confirm the absence of progression of any pre-existing lymph node disease involvement.
    Cutaneous disease manifestations will be documented by serial standardised body photgraphy and skin assessment worksheets.
