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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    Change from Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) [1]
    End point description
    BCVA was measured in the study eye using an eye chart and was recorded as the number of letters read correctly for a total possible score of 0 to 100. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). The higher the number of letters read correctly, the better the vision (or visual acuity) A positive change from Baseline (more letters read correctly) indicates improvement.

    Date
    Amendment
    27 Jul 2011
    Amendment 1 provided for the following revisions: • Addition of secondary efficacy endpoint for treatment failures (proportion of subjects in each treatment arm not completing the Month 12 visit) • Addition of specific wording for the recommended dose and administration of Lucentis • Addition of wording to provide guidance to the investigator in the event that a subject is not responding to treatment • Addition of instructions for contraception to be continued for 3 months after the last Lucentis injection • Additional revisions included corrected typographical errors, removed confusing text on assignment of randomization numbers, and inserted specific temperature storage requirements for Lucentis and OZURDEX.
    13 Sep 2011
    Amendment 2 provided for the following revisions: • Clarification that treatment allocation was to be made at each investigational site, but randomization and stratification were centralized • Revision of fluorescein angiography (FA) text to correct an erroneous statement in the original protocol regarding certification of technicians conducting the single FA required at the screening visit. Certification of FA technicians was not required for this assessment.
    08 Nov 2012
    Amendment 3 provided for the following revisions: • Removal of inclusion criterion 3 that specified a separate data protection consent form (Authorization/Data Protection Form) for European sites • Revision of exclusion criterion 12 in line with new safety information regarding the status of the posterior capsule of the study eye • Removal of requirement that optical coherence tomography (OCT) technician be masked to study treatment assignment • Clarification of wording for serious adverse event (SAE)-reporting procedures after the final dose of study drug • Additional revisions included administrative changes, removal of any additional references to the Authorization/Data Protection Form, clearly defining that 1 month was considered equivalent to 28 days, and separation of assessments for the study eye and fellow eye in the Schedule of Visits and Procedures.
