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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Is the perioperative IV administration of lidocaine an effective treatment to reduce postoperative pain after surgical sterilization.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The interventional treatment was administered to patients with standard hemodynamic monitoring in the setting of a fully equipped operation theatre. This enabled immediate detection and treatment of potential adverse events. Administration of study drugs was to be immediately stopped in case that the study participant showed signs of systemic toxicity (metallic taste, tinnitus, headache, seizure activity and ECG irregularities). Also after leaving the operation room, all patients were closely monitored for the occurrence of eventual (severe) adverse events.
