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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of ibuprofen in
    patients undergoing surgical extraction of mandibular third molars
    included.
    Scopo dello studio è valutare l'effetto analgesico della somministrazione
    preventiva di ibuprofene nei pazienti sottoposti ad estrazione chirurgica
    dei terzi molari mandibolari inclusi.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Objective 1: decrease in the intensity of Acute Post-operative Pain (DAPO) within 3 days after surgery, assessed using a numerical scale (Numeral Rating Scale-11, NRS-11), presented graphically as a vertical column of 100 mm from the bottom-oriented upwards, divided into 11 equal squares with numbers from 0 to 10. Both ends of the scale are defined by "no pain" to "worst pain imaginable."
     Objective 2: postoperative decrease in the consumption of the same drug measured in number of tablets taken within 7 days following surgery.
    Obiettivo 1 : diminuzione dell’intensità del Dolore Acuto Post-operatorio (DAPO) nei 3 giorni successivi all’intervento, valutato utilizzando una scala numerica (Numeral Rating Scale-11, NRS-11), presentata graficamente come una colonna verticale di 100 mm orientata dal basso verso l’alto, divisa in 11 caselle uguali con numeri da 0 a 10. Le due estremità della scala sono definite da “nessun dolore” fino a “massimo dolore immaginabile”.
     Obiettivo 2: diminuzione del consumo post-operatorio dello stesso farmaco valutato in numero di compresse assunte nei 7 giorni seguenti all’intervento chirurgico.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    REGISTRATION pain intensity at fixed times (8:00-13:00-18:00-23:00),
    so as to obtain the "curve of pain"; For the evaluation of the degree of
    pain, will be used for both diaries a numerical scale (Numeral Rating
    Scale-11, NRS-11), presented graphically as a vertical column of 100
    mmoriented from bottom to top, divided into 11 equal squares with
    numbersfrom 0 to 10. The two ends of the scale were defined as "no
    pain" to "worst pain imaginable."
    REGISTRAZIONE DELl'intensità del dolore in corrispondenza di orari
    prestabiliti (8:00-13:00-18:00-23:00), in modo da ottenere la "curva del
    dolore"; Per la valutazione del grado di dolore, verrà utilizzata per
    entrambi i diari una scala numerica (Numeral Rating Scale-11, NRS-11),presentata graficamente come una colonna verticale di 100 mm
    orientata dal basso verso l'alto, divisa in 11 caselle uguali con numeri da 0 a 10. Le due estremità della scala sono state definite da "nessun
    dolore" fino a "massimo dolore immaginabile".
