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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 251 patients were randomised but only 249 patients were randomised and treated. 2 patients did not take any treatment (1 withdrawn patient for parents decision in each arm); safety and efficacy population was composed of 249 patients.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Patients who met all inclusion criteria and none of exclusion criteria were randomised into 2 groups, V0034CR01B or vehicle, and during 28 days received treatment. After this first period, according to the status of lesions and xerosis score, patients entered an open-label period for 56 days (V0034CR01B or started a treatment free follow-up).
