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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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.

    - refractory disease : progression during platinum-based regimen
    - resistant disease : progression during the time from completion of platinum-based chemotherapy but less than 6 months after its completion
    - other type of failure : progression > or = 6 months but < 12 months after completion of platinum-based chemotherapy

    12. Women of childbearing potential must be using a medically accepted method of contraception (barrier methods, oral contraceptive, intrauterine devices) to avoid pregnancy during the 2 months preceding the start of study treatment, throughout the study period and for up to 6 months after the last dose of study treatment in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimised. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to first treatment administration
    13. Fertile men must be using adequate contraceptive measures throughout the study period and for up to 6 months after the last dose of study treatment if their partners are women of childbearing potential
    14. The patient must have access to social insurance if applicable in the local regulations
    15. Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule, those conditions should be assessed with the patient before registration in the trial

Male unwilling or unable to use a medically accepted method to avoid pregnancy throughout the study period and at least 6 months following the last dose of study treatment if their partners are women of childbearing potential.
