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   43857   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    End point description
    The change in partial (type 1) seizure frequency from Baseline is given as a percent reduction computed as: [ Weekly partial seizure frequency (Baseline)- Weekly partial seizure frequency (Evaluation Period)]/ [Weekly partial seizure frequency (Baseline)] x 100. Positive values in percent reduction means that the value has decreased from Baseline during the first 16-week Period. Partial (Type I) seizures can be classified into one of the following three groups: Simple partial seizures, Complex partial seizures, Partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures.

    The percent reduction from Baseline was computed as: [ Weekly seizure frequency (Baseline)- Weekly seizure frequency (Evaluation Period)]/ [Weekly seizure frequency (Baseline)] x 100. Responders are those patients with a percent reduction in partial seizure frequency of at least 50% from Baseline to first Evaluation Period in partial seizure frequency per week.
