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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    End point description
    Serum samples were analyzed for anti-belatacept antibodies using a validated homogenous bridging assay. The assay followed a tiered approach consistent with health authority guidance: tier 1 for screening ADA responses, tier 2 for confirming drug specificity of the ADA-positive responses, and tier 3 for titer. A neutralizing antibody assay was used to test those samples positive to the LEA29Y portion of the molecule in tier 2 and for which drug concentrations are =>1 μg/mL. Lack of immunogenicity was defined as the absence of a positive response. All treated subjects who received at least one dose of belatacept.
