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.

Sustained complete remission is defined as achieving healing of lesions with no new active lesions (i.e., PDAI activity score of 0) while on 0 mg/day prednisone or equivalent, and maintaining this response for a total of at least 16 consecutive weeks, during the 52-week treatment period.
    Proporción de pacientes que logran una remisión completa sostenida sin experimentar un
    acontecimiento que constituya el fracaso del tratamiento, según se evalúe en la semana 52.
    La remisión completa sostenida se define como el logro de la curación de las lesiones
    sin nuevas lesiones activas (es decir, puntuación de actividad de 0 según el PDAI)
    mientras el paciente recibe 0 mg/día de prednisona o equivalente, y el mantenimiento
