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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin monotherapy in the treatment of participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and inadequate glycemic control on diet and exercise. This trial consists of a run-in period of 3 to 11 weeks, a 26-week placebo-controlled treatment period (Phase A), and a 26-week active-controlled treatment period (Phase B). The primary hypotheses of the trial are that at Week 26, the mean reduction from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) for 15 mg ertugliflozin is greater than that for placebo and the mean reduction from baseline in A1C for 5 mg ertugliflozin is greater than that for placebo.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research. The following additional measures defined for this individual study were in place for the protection of trial subjects: participants were prescribed glycemic rescue therapy in the form of open-label metformin in Phase A or glimepiride in Phase B if they met, progressively more stringent, specific glycemic criteria.
