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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    Treatment with RA-directed biologic agents with non- TNF-α antagonist mechanisms without adequate washout as follows:
    • Anakinra: within 28 days prior to randomization
    • Abatacept: within 42 days prior to randomization
    • Rituximab or other cell depleting agent: Within 6 months prior to randomization or until total lymphocyte count and CD 19+ lymphocyte count are normalized, or whichever is longer.
    Prior treatment with a janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor (eg, tofacitinib).
    Patients with a history of invasive opportunistic infection.
    Prior or current history of malignancy, including lymphoproliferative diseases, other than adequately-treated carcinoma in-situ of the cervix, nonmetastatic squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, within 5 years prior to the randomization (baseline) visit.
