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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 title
    Change from Baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Score at Day 90 [1]
    End point description
    The OSDI consists of 12 questions to assess visual function, ocular symptoms and environmental triggers related to dry eye. Each of the 12 questions is assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time; 4 = all of the time) which is converted to a total score between 0-100. OSDI total scores of 0-12=normal (best), 13-22= mild ocular surface disease, 23-32 =moderate ocular surface disease, and 33-100=severe ocular surface disease (worst). A negative number change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Change from Baseline in Tear Break-up Time (TBUT)
    End point description
    TBUT is the time in seconds for the tear film to visually break up after a complete blink. The average of 3 consecutive observations is reported for each participant. The longer it takes, the more stable the tear film. The eye with the shorter average TBUT at Baseline was used for analysis. A positive number change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Staining of the conjunctiva following ocular administration of lissamine green dye was graded using a 6-point scale (0=no staining, 5=diffuse staining). Conjunctival staining has 2 zones, nasal and temporal, which are added together to provide the total staining score. The eye with the higher score at Baseline was used for analysis. The higher the grade score, the worse the dry eye severity. A negative number change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Change from Baseline in the Schirmer Test
    End point description
    The Schirmer's Test measures the rate of the secretion of tears produced by the eye over 5 minutes. The results indicate the presence of dry eye. The eye with the lower value at Baseline was used for Analysis. Normal = greater than or equal to 15 millimeters (mm) of tears, Dry Eye = less than 15 mm of tears. The smaller the number, the more severe the dry eye. A positive number change from Baseline indicates improvement.
