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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    In this study we investigate the effects of two intranasal cobalamin dosing regimens i.e. 1000 microgram administered once every three days and 1000 microgram administered once every day for two weeks, followed by once every week in elderly cobalamin deficient subjects on total transcobalamin and holotranscobalamin concentration.

    The objective of this study is to establish the optimal intranasal cobalamin dosing regimen in elderly.
    In deze studie wordt het effect van twee intranasale cobalamine doseerregimes; 1000 microgram elke 3 dagen toegediend en 1000 microgram elke dag toegediend gedurende twee weken, gevolgd door 1000 microgram elke week bij cobalamine deficiente ouderen op de transcobalamine en holotranscobalamine serum concentraties met elkaar vergeleken.
    Het doel van dit onderzoek is om het optimale intranasale doseerregime bij ouderen vast te stellen.
