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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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 compare the cumulative incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after treatment with ingenol mebutate gel and imiquimod cream.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical trial was conducted to conform to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki as adopted by the 18th World Medical Association General Assembly, 1964, and subsequent amendments. All subjects or their legally acceptable representative received written and verbal information concerning the clinical trial. Subjects or their legally acceptable representative were asked to consent that their personal data were recorded, collected, processed and could be transferred to EU and non-EU countries in accordance with any national legislation regulating privacy and data protection

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The clinical trial was performed at 44 sites in 3 countries: France, 11 sites; Germany, 15 sites; and United Kingdom, 18 sites

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total number of 578 male or female subjects aged 18–94 years with actinic keratosis in face or scalp were screened. Of these were 68 screening failures and 25 were not assigned to treatment. In total, 485 subjects were randomized 1:1 to treatment.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: In total, 485 subjects were randomised (full analysis set), but 1 subject (randomised in United Kingdom) was not treated. To support the primary safety endpoints, all baseline and safety results are based on the 484 subjects. Efficacy analysis are based on all 485 randomized subjects due to the intention-to-treat principle.
