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   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   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.

    Subjects assessment of prutitus - end of treatment
    Statistical analysis description
    The primary efficacy endpoint was compared between areas treated with aprepitant and vehicle. According to the clinical study protocol the comparison was to be done by means of a paired t-test on change from baseline. Instead, a mixed model was applied because this method allows for the correct adjustment of baseline values and also utilises the benefits of the left-right design inherent in the paired t-test.

    Notes
    [1] - For the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint (VAS assessments of pruritus at end of treatment (Day 28) for areas treated with aprepitant and vehicle) a mixed model with treatment and baseline pruritus as fixed effects and subject as random effect was used.

    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Entire trial period (1-28 days)
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    The trial was conducted as left/right intra-individual control and thus the subjects acted as their own controls, so each subject appear twice in the reporting of adverse events (one for each treatment area) and adverse events deemed unrelated to treatment (e.g. outside treatment area) were designated "treatment not defined".
