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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Recruitment took place over two years to reach 22 evaluable patients

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients with a clinical diagnosis of cholinergic urticaria by history and a positive exercise challenge test were treated with double license dose of cetirizine (20 mg) for two weeks and the exercise challenge test was repeated. If the test was again positive, they were randomized to start the study.

    Statistical analysis description
    Differences in the distribution of categorical variables were tested using the chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test. The correlation between negativization outcome and visit was quantified using the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Statistical significance was defined using a 2-sided α level of 0.05.

    Notes
    [1] - We observed a significant correlation between negativization outcomes and visit (Spearman Rho: 0,65; p=0,004). We found an average negativization increase of 2.9 percentage points (IC 95%: 1,5; 4,2) per visit.
