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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    From informed consent until the date of the EOT visit/EDV.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    From informed consent until EOT visit/EDV. This period was extended to follow-up on all ongoing AEs after the EOT visit/EDV until the AE was finally resolved or it was medically justifiable to stop further follow up (e.g. a chronic condition is reached). In case of death, AE(s) that were ongoing and did not cause death could be left ongoing.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    26 May 2017
    Local Amendment#1, Czech Republic This protocol amendment amends Protocol Final Version No. 2.0 (21-DEC-2016). It was prepared in order to comply with the requirements issued by the Czech State Institute for Drug Control dated 20.03.2017. • The presence of HLA-A*3101 allele may increase the risk for carbamazepine induced cutaneous reactions (mostly less severe) from 5.0% in general population to 26.0% among subjects of European ancestry. Thus, although there are insufficient data supporting a recommendation for HLA-A*3101 screening before starting carbamazepine or chemically-related compounds treatment, and the use of carbamazepine or chemicallyrelated compounds may be considered if the benefits are thought to exceed the risks, subjects who are known to be positive for HLA-A*3101 allele are not considered eligible due to safety reasons [1,2]. A new exclusion criterion was added. • Due to safety reasons, subjects with worsening of liver function must be withdrawn from the trial. • If an overnight stay/hospitalisation is required due to the subject’s study participation, one parent will have the opportunity to stay together with his/her child as required. The resulting accommodation costs will be covered by the sponsor.

    Interruptions (globally)
