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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint is the mean change from baseline in DAS28-CRP at week 12 comparing (superiority) each of the three dose levels of namilumab to placebo. This endpoint will be analyzed controlled for strata combined (TNF IR and MTX IR) and for each stratum separately.
    El criterio de valoración principal es el cambio medio respecto al inicio en la DAS28-CRP en la semana 12, comparando (superioridad) cada uno de los tres niveles de dosis de namilumab con placebo. Este criterio de valoración se analizará controlado para los estratos combinados (RI-TNF y RI-MTX) y para cada estrato por separado.
