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   43846   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.

    -Time to Confirmed Disease Progression (CDP) after at least 9 months
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    In terms of brain atrophy:

    evaulation at baseline and at month 15

    In terms relapse evaluation:

    Evaluation will be done at each timepoint during the study once any symptoms suggestive of a relapse appear / are reported by any subject.
    CDP 6 months:
    The definition of this endpoint is the same definition as the definition of the primary endpoint with the distinction that the increase in EDSS must be confirmed after at least 6 months.
