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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    The first phase of a study in which young patients that have diseases where an enzyme called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is changed from it's original form are treated by increasing doses of the drug LDK378 and where all study participants are aware of what treatment the patients are receiving.

    Patients who are still receiving treatment with LDK378 and deriving

    option for continued treatment with LDK378 that are considered
    acceptable at the country level such as access to commercially
    available drug or managed access program. In the separate study,
    Novartis will continue to supply LDK378 to patients who may benefit
    from continued treatment as per the Investigator's opinion.
