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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    Additional Pharmacogenomic Research (Optional),

    (Section 7.8.1.2 of the main study protocol)

    Subjects will be asked to indicate on the consent form whether they will allow the Retained Pharmacogenomic Sample(s) to also be used for the following additional research:

    - Investigations of the disease under study in the clinical trial, and related conditions.

    - Samples may be used as controls. This includes use in case -control studies of diseases for which Pfizer is researching drug therapies; use in characterizing the natural variation amongst people in genes, RNA, proteins, and metabolites; and use in developing new technologies related to pharmacogenomics.

    Subjects need not provide additional samples for the substudy the
    samples collected in the main study will be used.

    Subjects may still participate in the main study if they elect not to allow their Retained Pharmacogenomic Samples to be used for the additional purposes of the substudy.

    6. Subjects must have corrected vision at or better than 20/50 as assessed with a Snellen chart. If glasses are required to meet these criteria, they must be MRI-compliant glasses provided by the site.

    7. An acceptable screening fMRI that passes QC requirements.
