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.

If the ETT is interrupted before reaching positivity for any reason, the patient will not be included.
    - Stability criteria: Difference between selection (Day -7) and inclusion (Day 0) ETT measurements has to be within 20% of the Day 0 value.
    2. At least 4 anginal attacks in the 4 week period preceding randomisation

    combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs, sexual abstinence or
    vasectomised partner);
    5. The patient is a pregnant or breast feeding woman;
    6. Participation in a concurrent clinical trial or in another trial within the past 4 weeks;
    7. Repeated participation in this trial;

    - Change in TED (seconds) during ETT after 6 weeks of treatment
    - Change in time to 1 mm ST segment depression (TST) (horizontal or down-sloping for more than 0.08 s after the J point) after 6 and 12 weeks of treatment;
    - Angina attack intensity, and duration (according to patient diary);
    - Change in Health related quality of life scores after 12 weeks of treatment;
