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   43850   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The patients are recruited during their routine glaucoma check-ups. The recruitment period ranges from 1OCT2015 until 30MAR2017.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients (adults) suffering from ocular hypertension or open angle glaucoma (including those with pseudoexfoliation) and who consented to participate were enrolled in this study. Patients who were on therapy at the screening visit underwent a washout period for 4 weeks (depending on therapy) before baseline visit.

    Notes
    [1] - The roles blinded appear inconsistent with a simple blinded trial.
    Justification: This is an investigator-masked study. The subject was not blinded because packaging was visibly different. It was technical not possible to modify the package in such way that patient would be masked.
