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.

    - Has ever received any approved or investigational biologic antirheumatic agent. These agents include, but are not limited to, infliximab, golimumab, certolizumab pegol, etanercept, adalimumab, abatacept, rituximab, tocilizumab, or anakinra.

    - Has received drugs that potently inhibit or induce cytochrome P450 (CYP450) 3A4, CYP2C8, or CYP2C19 isoforms within 2 weeks or within 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study medication.
