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.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Worldwide enrollment number includes 69 subjects that were screened but not randomized and 8 subjects that were randomized but not treated. Baseline period includes analysis for the modified intent-to-treat population (mITT; received at least 1 dose of study drug).

    Quality of Life was measured by the absolute change from baseline in the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) respiratory scale. Disease specific instrument designed to measure impact on overall health, daily life, perceived well-being and symptoms in patients with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health. Scores for each Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) domain; after recoding, each item is summed to generate a domain score and standardized.
