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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    For inclusion in the study patients must fulfill ALL of the following
    criteria:
    - Patient has completed the parent study within the last seven days.
    - Willing and able to give written informed consent.
    - Willing and able to comply with all study requirements.
    Inclusión: Los pacientes que cumplan con los siguientes criterios serán considerados aptos para este estudio:
    - Haber completado el estudio original en los últimos siete días.
    - Voluntad y capacidad de dar el consentimiento informado por escrito.
    - Voluntad y capacidad de cumplir con todos los requisitos del estudio.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Exclusión: El paciente no puede participar en el estudio si se da ALGUNA de las siguientes situaciones:
    ? El paciente consume actualmente o ha consumido cannabis o medicamentos a base de cannabinoides, a excepción del IMP del estudio original, y no está dispuesto a abstenerse durante el estudio.
    ? Cualquier antecedente propio o familiar inmediato de esquizofrenia, otras enfermedades psicóticas, trastorno grave de la personalidad u otro trastorno psiquiátrico importante que no sea depresión asociada con la afección subyacente.
    ? Cualquier antecedente, conocido o hipotético, de trastorno por dependencia o abuso de sustancias controladas (incluida la dependencia o abuso de opiáceos antes de serle diagnosticado el cáncer), consumo actual excesivo de alcohol (más de 60 g de alcohol puro por día para los hombres y más de 40 g de alcohol puro por día para las mujeres),
    consumo actual de una droga ilegal o consumo actual no recetado de cualquier fármaco de venta con receta.
    ? Tiene epilepsia mal controlada o convulsiones recurrentes (es decir, una o más convulsiones durante el último año).
    ? Ha sufrido un infarto de miocardio o una disfunción cardíaca clínicamente significativa en los últimos 12 meses, o presenta un trastorno cardíaco que, según la opinión del investigador, pondría al paciente en riesgo de sufrir una arritmia clínicamente significativa o un infarto de miocardio.
    ? Las pacientes con capacidad de concebir y los pacientes varones cuya pareja tiene capacidad de concebir, a menos que estén dispuestos a garantizar que ellas o sus parejas usarán un método anticonceptivo efectivo (por ejemplo, anticonceptivos orales, un método de doble barrera, un dispositivo intrauterino), durante el estudio y durante 3 meses después del estudio (sin embargo, un preservativo masculino no se debe utilizar combinado con un preservativo femenino, porque esto puede resultar ineficaz).
    ? La paciente que está embarazada, en periodo de lactancia o planifica un embarazo durante el transcurso del estudio y 3 meses después del estudio.
    ? Cualquier otra enfermedad o trastorno significativo que, según el criterio del investigador, pueda poner en riesgo al paciente debido a la participación en el estudio, o influir en el resultado del estudio o la capacidad del paciente de participar en el mismo.
    ? Tiene la función hepática significativamente deteriorada en la visita de "Finalización del tratamiento" del estudio original (ALT >5 veces el valor del límite superior de normalidad (Upper Limit of Normal, ULN) o bilirrubina total (Total Bilirubin Level, TBL) >2 veces el ULN). Si la ALT o el AST representa >3 veces el ULN (y el TBL >2 veces el ULN o el índice internacional normalizado [International Normalized Ratio, INR] >1,5), este paciente no debe entrar en el estudio. Estos criterios solamente se
    pueden confirmar una vez que estén disponibles los resultados de laboratorio de la visita de "Finalización del tratamiento" del estudio original; los pacientes que se inscribieron en el estudio y se descubrió posteriormente que no cumplían estos criterios se deben retirar del estudio.
    Si los resultados de laboratorio de la visita de "Finalización del tratamiento" del estudio original generan preocupaciones relacionadas con la seguridad, el investigador deberá considerar si es adecuado que el paciente siga participando o no en el estudio de extensión, o si el paciente debe retirarse del estudio.
