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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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
    The Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale, Part III motor section (UPDRS III) is the motor section of the UPDRS examination, given by interview with actions performed by the patient. Some questions required multiple ratings to be assigned to each extremity. The areas addressed by this exam included speech, facial expression, tremor at rest, postural tremor, rigidity, finger taps, hand movements, rapid alternating movement (hands), leg agility, arising from a chair, posture, gait, postural stability, and body bradykinesia/hypokinesia. Early effect, defined as average response of assessments at 0-30 minutes after the dose of study medication.
