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   44293   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7350   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.

    6.      Absence of other clinical contraindications to ACLSC transplantation based upon investigator’s judgment;
    7.      A cooperative attitude to follow up the study procedures (Caregivers in case of minors).
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1.         LSCD of mild degree (i.e. below 2 quadrants of neo-vessel invasion without central corneal), due to a recent burn (less than 24 months before screening), or secondary to medical conditions other than burns (i.e.radiotherapy);
    2. Severe ocular inflammation according to the Efron Grading Scale for Contact Lens Complications. Patient can be re-screened after appropriate treatment;
