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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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.

    A.3Full title of the trial
    A multi-center randomized, open label, controlled study in primary liver transplantation comparing long term renal function and development of de novo malignancy in recipients treated with standard dose extended release tacrolimus alone and recipients treated with a combination of low dose extended-release tacrolimus and low dose sirolimus.
    Een multicenter, gerandomiseerd, open label, gecontroleerd klinisch onderzoek bij primaire levertransplantatie patiënten waarin de lange termijn nierfunctie wordt vergeleken tussen een behandelingsregime met standaard dosering tacrolimus verlengde afgifte en een behandelingsregime met lage dosering tacrolimus verlengde afgifte in combinatie met een lage dosering sirolimus.
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    This study is to examine whether the combination of a low dose of a new drug Sirolimus in combination with a low dose of the standard anti-rejection medication Tacrolimus is safer and works equally well in patients after liver transplantation.
    In dit onderzoek willen we nagaan of het combineren van een lage dosering van een nieuw medicijn Sirolimus in combinatie met een lage dosering van het standaard medicijnTacrolimus tegen afstoting veiliger is en even goed werkt bij patiënten na een levertransplantatie.
