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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the effect of GWP42003 on liver triglyceride levels (liver fat) in participants with fatty liver disease (FLD).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Council on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice, and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, in addition to following the laws and regulations of the country or countries in which a study is conducted. No study procedures were performed on study candidates until written consent had been obtained from the participant. The informed consent form, protocol, and amendments for this study were submitted to and approved by an independent ethics committee.

    Blinding implementation details
    This study was partially-blinded. Due to the varying numbers of capsules to be administered, participants and investigators were not blinded to the treatment cohort (one, two or four capsules), but were blinded to the treatment allocation within each cohort (GWP42003 200, 400, or 800 milligrams [mg] or placebo).
