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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of the trial is to assessthe therapeutic effect of the glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, liraglutide (Victoza®) for SBS patients with an end-jejunostomi. The efficacy is assessed through the ability of liraglutide (Victoza®) to increase intestinal absorption, reduce diarrhea and the need for hyperphagia, and determine if liraglutide (Victoza®) can reduce the need for parenteral support.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Several safety parameters were done during the trial period, including a physical examination, electrocardiography, vital signs, local tolerability and blood samples.
