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
    To describe the kinetics of global gene expression (i.e. the pattern of which genes are switched on/off) in whole blood, following vaccination with 4CMenB vaccine in healthy infants.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Ethical, Legal and Management Protection: Every effort was made to ensure that parents or guardians giving informed consent were able to understand fully the nature of the study including the risks,burdens, benefits and implications that taking part had for their child. The study involved the collection of blood samples that would not normally be part of routine care. In order to minimise any discomfort, local anaesthetic cream was offered to numb the skin prior to the sample being collected. The members of the study team undertaking venepuncture had specific training and experience in this technique. With the parent/guardians agreement two attempts at blood sampling were made and if unsuccessful a further visit was arranged by the study team. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria applied to the enrolment of each study participant. The study complied with the Data Protection Act which requires data to be anonymised as soon as it is practical to do so ensuring that the participant's anonymity was maintained throughout the trial.
