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.

    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The number and proportion of patients in whom resolution is achieved will be reported and a 95% confidence interval for the proportion will be computed by the exact binomial method. Summary data will be provided for all other study variables using means and SDs or non-parametric equivalents.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    11 Jan 2013
    Inclusion criteria to be changed: a 3 month period post cataract surgery before recruitment rather than 6 months. RATIONALE: 3 months is the standard period following cataract surgery one would wait in clinical practice before undertaking a further non-urgent intraocular procedure e.g. YAG laser capsulotomy. In addition, waiting 3 months following any intraocular surgery is the period of time now commonly used in studies investigating intravitreal agents, such as this study. Furthermore, macular oedema directly related to surgery would be expected to have resolved within 3 months.
    18 Jun 2014
    Amendment to CI of the study This amendment was submitted before the end of the study (submitted to MHRA on the 14th of May 2014) and was pending when last visit was conducted on the 18th of June 2014. The MHRA was aware of this last visit date, and they approved the substantial amendment on the 31st of July 2014.
