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   43855   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 421 subjects were enrolled in the study, of these, 30 subjects were excluded from the data analyses at one site. The participant flow reflects all subjects included in the data analyses.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects were randomized to either placebo or onabotulinumtoxinA in Period 1. Subjects randomized to receive placebo in Period 1 who subsequently received open-label onabotulinumtoxinA in Period 2 are also included in the onabotulinumtoxinA group for the Safety analysis.
