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   44261   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7346   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
    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity of long-term treatment of SCN patients with Sandoz’ filgrastim in terms of the incidence of anti-rhG-CSF antibodies.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The patients were recommended to be treated in adherene with the SmPC of Zarzio®/Hexal filgrastim® regarding dosage and administration, contraindications, warnings, precautions and undesirable effects. The investigator was to promote compliance by instructing the patient to take the study drug exactly as prescribed and by stating that compliance was necessary for the patient's safety. The patient was instructed to contact the investigator, if he/she was unable to take the study drug as prescribed for any reason.
