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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To gain, within 44 months, both definite proof of the clinical efficacy, and a more confident estimate of the effect size of low-dose IVIg treatment to reduce pain in patients with msCRPS.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Throughout the project measures were put in place to minimise any risk, pain or distress to trial participants.

    Reporting group description
    Between 27th August 2013 and 28th October 2015, 111 patients were randomised to one of the two trial arms. 56 were randomised to Placebo and 55 were randomised to IVIg. Two of these patients did not receive their first infusion and supplied no outcome pain data. Three further patients did receive their first infusion but also did not supply any outcome pain data. All 5 of these patients are excluded from the primary analysis. In addition, three patients were randomised in error. Two of these had an average baseline pain score (over the first 7 days) below 5 and one patient had a disease duration of less than 12 months. These 3 patients (all randomised to IVIg) are excluded from the primary analysis. The primary analysis was performed on 103 patients, with 53 in Placebo and 50 in IVIg.
