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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine the effect of eight weeks of twice-daily treatment with inhaled dry powder mannitol on lung function (FEV1) in subjects with CF who are aged six to seventeen years
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted utilising practices that ensured adherence to GCP and protection of the patients, as required by the following Guidelines, Regulations and Directives in operation at the time: • Declaration of Helsinki, concerning medical research in humans ('Recommendations Guiding Physicians in Biomedical Research Involving Human Patients', Helsinki 1964, amended Tokyo 1975, Venice 1983, Hong Kong 1989, Somerset West 1996, Edinburgh 2000). • US 21 Code of Federal Regulations dealing with clinical studies, parts 50 and 56, concerning Informed Patient Consent and IRB approval. • European Directive 75/318/EEC (as amended) on the approximation of laws of Member States relating to analytical, pharmacotoxicological and clinical standards and protocols in respect of the testing of medicinal products. • ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice, May 9, 1997
