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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Cociente de respuesta, definido como el porcentaje de pacientes con respuesta.
    La respuesta se define como
    - 50% de mejoría en la Escala Hamilton de 17 ítems sobre depresión (HAMD-17);
    - y un valor máximo de 17 (correspondiente a depresión leve) en la escala HAMD-17;

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    ? Proportion of resmission.
    Absolute and relative change from baseline to timepoint for the following variables:
    - 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) score: HAMD-17 is a 17-items test measuring the severity of depression. The score from each item contribute to a total score. HAMD-17 score increases with depression severity.
    - Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score: MADRS is a 10-items scale measuring the depression severity. Each item (symptom) is graded on a scale from 0 to 6 and all the items contribute to a total score. MADRS score increases with depression severity.
    - Clinical Global Impression-Improvement scale (CGI-I) score: the CGI-I is a 7 point scale to assess how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened compared to a baseline state (1, very much improved; 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse; or 7, very much worse).
    - Clinical Global Impression-Severity scale (CGI-S) score: the CGI-S is a 7-point scale rating the patient's illness based on the clinical experience (1= normal, not at all ill; 2, borderline mentally ill; 3, mildly ill; 4, moderately ill; 5, markedly ill; 6, severely ill; or 7, extremely ill).
    - Leeds Evaluation Sleeping Questionnaire (LESQ): the LESQ is a standardized self-reporting instrument comprising ten items.
    - Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) total score: the BDI is a 21-item self-administered questionnaire intended to assess the existence and severity of symptoms of depression. Each item (symptom) is scored from 0 to 3 and all the items contribute to a total score. BDI score increases with depression severity.
    - Columbia - Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) score: C-SSRS is a 16-items scale measuring the suicide severity.
    ? Porcentaje de remisión.
    Cambio absoluto o relativo desde la visita basal hasta el punto temporal en las variables siguientes:
    ? Puntuación de la Escala Hamilton de 17 ítems de valoración de la depresión (HAMD-17): la HAMD-17 es un cuestionario de 17 ítems que mide la gravedad de la depresión. La suma de las puntuaciones de cada ítem forman la puntuación total. A mayor puntuación del HAMD-17, mayor es la gravedad de la depresión.
    ? Puntuación de la Escala de Montgomery y Asberg de evaluación de la depresión (MADRS): la escala MADRS es una escala de 10 ítems que mide la gravedad de la depresión. Cada ítem (síntoma) se clasifica en una escala que va de 0 a 6 y la suma de todos los ítems forman la puntuación total. A mayor puntuación de MADRS, mayor es la gravedad de la depresión.
    ? Puntuación de la Escala de impresión clínica global de la mejoría (CGI-I): la CGI-I es una escala de 7 puntos que evalúa hasta qué punto ha mejorado o empeorado la enfermedad del paciente comparado con su estado en la visita basal (1= marcada mejoría; 2= moderada mejoría; 3= mínima mejoría; 4= ningún cambio; 5= mínimo empeoramiento; 6= moderado empeoramiento; o 7= marcado empeoramiento).
    ? Puntuación de la Escala de impresión clínica global de la gravedad (CGI-S): la CGI-S es una escala de 7 puntos que evalúa la enfermedad del paciente según la experiencia clínica (1= normal, nada enfermo; 2= en el límite de la enfermedad mental; 3= levemente enfermo; 4= moderadamente enfermo; 5= marcadamente enfermo; 6= gravemente enfermo; o 7= extremadamente enfermo).
    ? Cuestionario Leeds de evaluación del sueño (LESQ): el LESQ es un instrumento de autopercepción estandarizado formado por diez ítems.
    ? Puntuación total de la Escala Beck de depresión: el BDI es un cuestionario autoadministrado de 21 ítems que evalúa la existencia y gravedad de los síntomas de la depresión. Cada ítem (síntoma) se clasifica en una escala que va de 0 a 3 y la suma de todos los ítems forman la puntuación total. A mayor puntuación de BDI, mayor es la gravedad de la depresión.
    ? Puntuación de la Escala de Columbia para evaluar el riesgo de suicidio (C-SSRS): la C-SSRS es una escala de 16 ítems que mide el riesgo de suicidio.
