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   43861   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main research question is to find out whether it is possible to carry out a randomised study looking at whether sertraline alone or cognitive behavioural therapy alone or a combination of both sertraline and cognitive behavioural therapy is better in treating obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The study will look at what obstacles there are in recruiting into a large trial, the practicality of delivering treatment and the acceptability to patients. Symptom changes, quality of life changes and resource use will also be assessed.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The study recruited across 3 sites. 258 potential participants, 66 were screened and 49 entered the study. 15 randomised to Sertraline Monotherapy (Arm A), 18 randomised to the combination arm (Arm B) and 16 participants allocated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Monotherapy (Arm C).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of roles blinded appears inconsistent with a single blinded trial. It is expected that there will be one role blinded in a single blind trial.
    Justification: This was a partially blinded study as one treatment was obvious to patients, statistician and assessor were the only blinded parties
