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   43861   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.

    Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Baseline-Corrected Thickness of the Psoriatic Skin Infiltrate
    End point description
    Thickness of psoriatic skin infiltrate was assessed using 20 MHz sonographic measurement at Baseline and Days 8, 15 and 22. Baseline corrected AUC values were calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule. Full Analysis Set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 application of study medication analyzed according to randomized treatment. If Baseline measurement was missing AUC was set to missing. If 1 Post-Baseline measurement was missing Last Observation Carried Forward was used. If 2 or more post-Baseline measurements were missing AUC was set to missing.
