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.

    Daily Parent Report of Evening and Morning Behavior-Revised (DPREMB-R) Scale Mean Total Score (On-Days versus Off-Days) During the 4-Week Treatment Period [1]
    End point description
    Parent-completed 11-item questionnaire; measures difficulty level of and 8 common evening behaviors (such as, sit through dinner) and 3 common morning behaviors (such as, get out of bed). Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (a lot of difficulty). Total score (evening+morning) range is 0 to 33. Higher scores indicate greater difficulty in evening and morning behavior. DPREMB-R total score between days without missing doses (on-days) and days with missing doses (off-days) was not analyzed due to the insufficient sample size. Analysis Population Description: No participants had data analyzed due to the termination of the trial and the insufficient sample size.

    End point description
    The teacher version of Conners' Global Index consists of 10 items with each item being scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (not true at all, or never/seldom) to 3 (very much true, or very often/very frequent). The total score ranges from 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate greater impairment. The Conners’ Global Index-Teacher Rating Scale total score for days with missing doses (off-days) between both groups were not analyzed due to insufficient sample size. Analysis Population Description: No participants had data analyzed due to the termination of the trial and the insufficient sample size.

    Global Impression of Perceived Difficulties Investigator Version (GIPD-Inv) Total Score and Subscores At Weeks 2, 3, and 4
    End point description
    Assesses attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-related difficulties (overall difficulties perceived in morning, during school, during homework, in evening, and over entire day and night). Difficulties during past week are rated by investigator on a 7-point scale (1=normal, not difficult at all; 7=extremely difficult) for each of 5 items. Total score=sum of all subscores (items) and ranges from 5 to 35. Higher scores indicate greater impairment. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to the insufficient sample size. Analysis Population Description: No participants had data analyzed due to the termination of the trial and the insufficient sample size.

    Reporting group title
    Osmotic-Release Oral System (OROS) Methylphenidate
    Reporting group description
    Participants received 18-54 mg of OROS methylphenidate orally, once daily during the run-in period for up to 7 days. The run-in period was followed by the 4-week on/off period in which participants received 18-54 mg of OROS methylphenidate orally, once daily for 4 weeks, except for the off-days, where participants received 1 or 2 oral once daily placebo doses per week, with 6 nonconsecutive, double-blinded placebo doses in total over the 4-week on/off period. The on/off period was followed by a run-out period in which participants received 18-54 mg of OROS methylphenidate orally, once daily for 1-5 days.

    Reporting group title
    Atomoxetine
    Reporting group description
    Participants received 25-80 milligrams (mg) of atomoxetine orally, once daily during the run-in period for up to 7 days. The run-in period was followed by the 4-week on/off period in which participants received 25-80 mg of atomoxetine orally, once daily for 4 weeks, except for the off-days, where participants received 1 or 2 oral once daily placebo doses per week, with 6 nonconsecutive, double-blinded placebo doses in total over the 4-week on/off period. The on/off period was followed by a run-out period in which participants received 25-80 mg of atomoxetine orally, once daily for 1-5 days.
