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   43395   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7179   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.

    There is currently no effective treatment against the disease, which determines which patients suffer an inexorable decline since diagnosis with evidence of progressive paralysis usually upward, until the inevitable respiratory arrest. The knowledge of this development leads in both the patients and the family great anguish and despair, with a negative impact on quality of life and often severe alterations in mood.
    Actualmente no existe ningún tratamiento eficaz contra la enfermedad, lo que determina que los pacientes sufran un deterioro inexorable desde el diagnóstico con evidencia de parálisis progresiva habitualmente ascendente, hasta la inevitable parada respiratoria. El conocimiento de esta evolución provoca tanto en los pacientes como en el entorno familiar una gran angustia y desesperanza, con un impacto negativo en la calidad de vida y con frecuencia alteraciones severas del estado de ánimo.
