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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives of this study are as follows:
    1) Compare the change in the PCS of the SF-36 between treatment responders and non-responders (treatment discontinued at Week 4).
    2)Evaluate change from baseline in additional QoL measures among treatment responders as well as changes from baseline in treatment responders versus non-responders.
    3)Assess the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg twice daily.

    3)Change in QoL measures among responders stratified by disease type.

    4)Change in QoL measures between responders and non-responders not taking additional MS therapy.

    5)Safety of prolonged-release fampridine will be assessed by:
    -the number and proportion of subjects with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)
