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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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.

    F.5 Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)
    After the treatment period (52 weeks) the patients will be controlled for a follow-up period of 13 weeks without administration of treatment. Since the patients included in this trial belong to the pool of the investigational site where they are recruited, it is foreseen that they will continue the treatment for NASH according to the standard site clinical practice. At this stage the possibility of a care program after the study period has not been evaluated, it will be possible to evaluate this
    Al termine del periodo di trattamento di 52 settimane i pazienti verranno monitorati per un periodo di 13 settimane senza assunzione del trattamento. I pazienti inclusi nel protocollo di studio provengono dal bacino di utenza del centro sperimentale, dunque si prevede che i pazienti, una volta terminato il periodo di studio, proseguiranno il trattamento per NASH secondo la comune pratica clinica del centro stesso. Al momento non è stato stabilito un programma per l'assistenza a tali pazienti do
