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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Our primary aim is to estimate the average change in vision function in eyes treated with aflibercept.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In line with standard care, topical anaesthetic was used prior to aflibercept injection treatment. Non-study eye was treated in accordance with NHS standards of care and was monitored throughout the study.
    Background therapy
    Treatment to the non-study eye could continue throughout the study. Patients had not received prior treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration in the study eye.
    Evidence for comparator
    The study drug was not compared to another drug during this trial
