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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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 Subjective Well-Being under Neuroleptic Treatment - Short Version (SWN-S) is a patient-rated scale designed to measure subjective effects of neuroleptic drugs to psychopathology, quality of life, and compliance over the past 7 days. The 20 items (10 positive and 10 negative statements) are grouped in 5 subscales (mental functioning, selfcontrol, physical functioning, emotional regulation and social integration). Each subscale contains 4 items. Each item was rated on a six-point Likert scale, from not at all to very much. A score was calculated for each subscale, and the total score ranged from 20 to 120, where the higher score indicated better well-being.

    The Quality of Life Scale (QLS) is a clinician-rated scale designed to assess deficit symptoms of schizophrenia and functioning during the preceding 4 weeks. The QLS consists of 21 items in 4 domains: Interpersonal Relations (eight items), Instrumental Role (four items), Intrapsychic Foundations (seven items), and Common Objects and Activities (two items). Each item was rated on a 7-point scale, from 0 (severe impairment) to 6 (normal or unimpaired functioning). Definitions were provided for 4 anchor points of the 7 points. Each item had a brief description of the judgement to be made and a set of suggested probes for the clinician. The total score was calculated as the sum of all 21 items giving a range of 0 to 126, where the higher score indicated normal or unimpaired functioning.

    The Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) is a five-item, patient-rated scale that evaluates a patient’s recent sexual experiences. The ASEX is used to identify individuals with sexual dysfunction. Patients were asked to assess their own experiences over the last week (for example, “How strong is your sex drive?”, “Are your orgasms satisfying?”) and respond on a six-point scale for each item. Possible total scores range from 5 to 30. Higher ASEX total scores indicate more sexual dysfunction (hypofunction).

    The Readiness for Work Questionnaire (WoRQ) is a clinician-rated scale designed to measure a schizophrenic patient’s ability to work. The WoRQ consists of 8 items: the clinician had to rate 7 statements and answer 1 question. The statements were rated on a four-point scale, from 'strongly agree', 'agree', 'disagree' or 'strongly disagree' based on all material available (for example, personal notes, medical records, input from other health professionals, family members or caregivers); and in the final item, the clinician had to indicate if the patient was ready for work or not (by indicating either 'yes' or 'no'). Lower WoRQ total scores indicate better functioning.

    Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the 'Interpersonal Relations' QLS Domain Score
    End point description
    The QLS is a clinician-rated scale designed to assess deficit symptoms of schizophrenia and functioning during the preceding 4 weeks. The QLS consists of 21 items in 4 domains: Interpersonal Relations (eight items), Instrumental Role (four items), Intrapsychic Foundations (seven items), and Common Objects and Activities (two items). Each item was rated on a 7-point scale, from 0 (severe impairment) to 6 (normal or unimpaired functioning). The Interpersonal Relations domain score was calculated as the sum of 8 items (numbers 1 to 8) giving a range of 0 to 48, where the higher score indicated less unimpaired functioning.

    End point description
    Tolerability and Quality of Life (TooL) is a patient-rated scale developed to measure the impact of side-effects on the quality of life in patients treated with antipsychotic medication. The TooL consists of 8 domains: mood (worry-upset), function capabilities, fatigue-weakness, weight gain, stiffness-tremor, physical restlessness, sexual dysfunction, and dizziness-nausea. Each domain was rated on a four-point scale from 1 (no impact) to 4 (maximum impact). Total scores ranged from 8 (no impact) to 32 (maximum impact).

    End point description
    The Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) is a five-item, patient-rated scale that evaluates a patient’s recent sexual experiences. The ASEX is used to identify individuals with sexual dysfunction. Patients were asked to assess their own experiences over the last week (for example, “How strong is your sex drive?”, “Are your orgasms satisfying?”) and respond on a six-point scale for each item. Possible total scores range from 5 to 30. Higher ASEX total scores indicate more sexual dysfunction (hypofunction).

    End point description
    The Readiness for Work Questionnaire (WoRQ) is a clinician-rated scale designed to measure a schizophrenic patient’s ability to work. The WoRQ consists of 8 items: the clinician had to rate 7 statements and answer 1 question. The statements were rated on a four-point scale, from 'strongly agree', 'agree', 'disagree' or 'strongly disagree' based on all material available (for example, personal notes, medical records, input from other health professionals, family members or caregivers); and in the final item, the clinician had to indicate if the patient was ready for work or not (by indicating either 'yes' or 'no'). Lower WoRQ total scores indicate better functioning.

The presence of sexual dysfunction based on the ASEX scale was defined as an ASEX total score of ≥19, or a score of ≥5 on any item, or a score of ≥4 on any 3 items
