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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    The primary objective for this study was long-term safety (incidence and pattern of serious adverse events) in subjects receiving natalizumab.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to evaluations performed for eligibility. Subjects were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study

    Number of Subjects with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [1]
    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, places the subject at immediate risk of death, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is a medically important event. Safety analysis set included all subjects enrolled in the study.

    Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Score to Measure Disability Progression at Week 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96
    End point description
    EDSS is used to measure disability progression. EDSS score ranges from 0.0 (normal neurological exam) to 10.0 (death due to multiple sclerosis {MS}). Disability progression is defined as 1.5-point increase from baseline in subjects with baseline EDSS score = 0.0; OR 1-point increase in EDSS from baseline in subjects with baseline EDSS score of 1.0 to 5.0 inclusive; OR 0.5-point increase in EDSS from baseline in subjects with baseline EDSS score >5.0. Higher scores indicates worsening of disability progression. Full analysis set (FAS) included all subjects enrolled in the study.

    The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was measured using the global evaluation scale of the EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaire every 6 months. Subjects were asked to evaluate their health status on a scale from 0 (worst possible health status) to 10 (best possible health status). Highest scores indicates healthy quality of life.
