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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 compare the safety of up to 8 weeks of treatment with calcitriol 3 mcg/g ointment versus its vehicle, when used twice daily, without occlusion, to treat children aged 2 to 12 years, with plaque psoriasis (excluding the face and scalp). To evaluate the effect of twice daily use of calcitriol 3 mcg/g ointment versus vehicle on calcium metabolism in children aged 2 to 12 years with plaque psoriasis (excluding face and scalp). To compare the efficacy of up to 8 weeks of treatment with calcitriol 3 mcg/g ointment versus its vehicle, when used twice daily, without occlusion, to treat children aged 2 to 12 years, with plaque psoriasis (excluding face and scalp).
