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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    BMD analysis performed on log (BMD ratio to Baseline) using separate repeated measures models for each gender with covariates of treatment group, age, Baseline BMI, visit, log Baseline BMD, log Baseline BMD by visit and treatment group by visit interactions. These estimates were then converted into annual changes and averaged to calculate the overall treatment estimates and difference which were used for testing non-inferiority. The analysis shown is for the “While on Treatment” estimand of the difference in percentage change from Baseline per annum between FF/VI ± BMD medication/SCS (systemic corticosteroids) and VI ± BMD medication/SCS. Baseline is defined as the measurement performed at Visit 1. Percentage change is calculated as (BMD value post-Baseline divided by Baseline value) -1 multiplied by 100.Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n= X in the category titles).

    		 Percentage change from Baseline in BMD measurements at lumbar spine (L1 to L4) by gender (female participants)
    End point description
    BMD analysis performed on log (BMD ratio to Baseline) using separate repeated measures models for each gender with covariates of treatment group, age, Baseline BMI, visit, log Baseline BMD, log Baseline BMD by visit and treatment group by visit interactions. These estimates were then converted into annual changes and averaged to calculate the overall treatment estimates and difference which were used for testing non-inferiority. The analysis shown is for the “While on Treatment” estimand of the difference in percentage change from Baseline per annum between FF/VI ± BMD medication/SCS (systemic corticosteroids) and VI ± BMD medication/SCS. Baseline is defined as the measurement performed at Visit 1. Percentage change is calculated as (BMD value post-Baseline divided by Baseline value) -1 multiplied by 100.Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n= X in the category titles).
