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   43857   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    - to compare the effects of clopidogrel and ticagrelor on in vivo and ex vivo hemostatic system activation - to investigate the additional effect of ASA to clopidogrel or ticagrelor with regard to their effects on in vivo and ex vivo hemostatic system activation
    Protection of trial subjects
    subjects were encouraged to report any discomfort, pain, or other change to their physical intactness. subjects were particularly instructed to record any bleeding (including nose bleeds, hematoma, wet purpura, blood in stool or urine).

    Subject, Investigator
    Blinding implementation details
    Randomization was performed by the method of permuted blocks with a block size of four. A person not directly involved in study-related procedures performed concealment of the respective drugs. Investigators involved in the study were not aware of the randomization code, which was broken after finalizing the study and all laboratory analyses were completed.
