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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 assess the proportion of patients who achieve clinical remission after 24 weeks of adalimumab and methotrexate (MTX) therapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy in the management of early, persistent oligoarthritis. The defining criteria for clinical remission is absence of tender/swollen joints & CRP< 5mg/ml)
    Protection of trial subjects
    Before being enrolled in the clinical study, subjects must consent to participate after the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the clinical study have been explained in a form understandable to them. An informed consent document that includes both information about the study and the consent form will be prepared and given to the subject. This document will contain all the elements required by ICH E6 Guideline for Good Clinical Practice and any additional elements required by local regulations. The document must be in a language understandable to the subject and must specify who informed the subject. Where required by local law, the person who informs the subject must be a physician. One copy of the informed consent document will be kept in the patient’s medical notes. Further, a signed copy will be given to the patient. The patient will be given at least 24 hours to consider this information after initially receiving the patient information before the consent is taken. This process will be documented in the patient notes. After reading the informed consent document, the subject must give consent in writing. The subject's consent must be confirmed at the time of consent by the personally dated signature of the subject and by the personally dated signature of the person conducting the informed consent discussions. A copy of the signed consent document must be given to the subject. The original signed consent document will be retained by the investigator. The investigator will not undertake any measures specifically required only for the clinical study until valid consent has been obtained. The investigator must inform the subject’s primary physician about the subject’s participation in the trial if the subject has a primary physician and if the subject agrees to the primary physician being informed.
