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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    En pacientes con hipercolesterolemia primaria y riesgo cardiovascular elevado con C LDL &#8805; 100 mg/dl (2,59 mmol/l) y &#8804; 160 mg/dl (4,14 mmol/l), evaluar:
    1) al final de la fase I, la reducción porcentual adicional del C LDL mediante el cambio a ezetimiba 10 mg + atorvastatina 10 mg administrados conjuntamente en comparación con atorvastatina 20 mg en los pacientes que no estén controlados adecuadamente con atorvastatina 10 mg antes de la aleatorización.
    2) al final de la fase I, la reducción porcentual adicional del C LDL mediante el cambio a ezetimiba 10 mg + atorvastatina 10 mg administrados conjuntamente en comparación con rosuvastatina 10 mg en los pacientes que no estén controlados adecuadamente con atorvastatina 10 mg antes de la aleatorización.
