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   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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.

    A.3Full title of the trial
    A multicenter, single blind, randomized parallel group study to assess the short and long term efficacy of certolizumab pegol plus methotrexate compared with adalimumab plus methotrexate in subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis responding inadequately to methotrexate.
    Estudio multicéntrico, aleatorizado, en simple ciego y de grupos paralelos, para evaluar la eficacia a corto y largo plazo de certolizumab pegol más metotrexato en comparación con adalimumab y metotrexato en sujetos con artritis reumatoide moderada a severa de respuesta inadecuada al metotrexato
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    Study designed to assess the short- and long-term efficacy of CZP compared with Adalimumab, both when used with methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of subjects suffering from rheumatoid arthritis that are not responding adequately to MTX. Adalimumab is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody specific for human TNF that has been approved for the treatment of moderate to severe active RA in the USA, the European Union, and a number of other countries worldwide.
    Estudio diseñado para valorar la eficacia a corto y largo plazo (CZP) en comparación con adalimumab (ADA), utilizados ambos con metotrexato (MTX) en el tratamiento de sujetos con artritis reumatoide (AR) moderada a severa de respuesta inadecuada al MTX. El adalimumab es un anticuerpo monoclonal humano recombinante de tipo IgG1 específico del TNF? humano que se encuentra aprobado para el tratamiento de la AR de actividad moderada a severa en Estados Unidos, la unión Europea y en otros países.

    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Subjects will be given the option to participate in a genetics, genomics, and proteomics sub-study. Subjects who decide to participate in the sub-study must complete a separate Informed Consent Form for Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacogenetics at Screening following the same procedure and given the same considerations as the main Informed Consent Form. Each subject?s willingness to participate in the sub-study will be independent from his/her consent to participate in the main study.
    Los sujetos tendrán la opción de participar en el subestudio de genética, genómica y proteinómica. Los sujetos que decidan participar en el subestudio tendrán que cumplimentar en la selección otro documento de consentimiento informado aparte para farmacogenómica y farmacogenética, siguiendo el mismo procedimiento y con las mismas consideraciones que el documento de consentimiento informado para el estudio principal. La voluntad del sujeto de participar en el subestudio será independiente de su consentimiento para participar en el estudio principal.
