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   44294   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7351   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. History of drug or alcohol abuse (as defined by the Investigator) within the 2 years prior to Screening.

    7. Any of the following abnormal blood tests at Screening:
    - alanine transaminase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), AST/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), or gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) ≥2 times the upper limit of normal

    8. Any of the following abnormal urine tests at Screening confirmed by a second urinalysis 2 weeks later:
    - proteinuria (1+ or greater) and/or spot protein/creatinine ratio (with AM void) >0.2 mg. Note: Documented benign proteinuria is not exclusionary.
    - hematuria, without known etiology (e.g., urinary tract infection or menses)
    - glycosuria, without known etiology (e.g., recent steroid use or elevated serum glucose)

    9. History of or positive test result at Screening for human immunodeficiency virus.

    10. History or positive test result at Screening for hepatitis C virus antibody or current hepatitis B infection (defined as positive for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] and/or hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb]). Subjects with immunity to hepatitis B from previous natural infection (defined as negative HBsAg, positive hepatitis B surface antibody immunoglobulin G, and positive HBcAb) are eligible to participate in the study (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s interpretation of the hepatitis B serology panel) [CDC 2007].
