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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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
    To analyze the potential clinical efficacy of intrathecal administration, in the subarachnoid space, of in vitro expanded autologous adult bone marrow mesenchymal troncal cells in the treatment of patients with established chronic spinal cord injury (LEM)
    Protection of trial subjects
    Previous to NC1 preparation, a sample of peripheral blood was retrieved from each patient for genomic studies in order to rule out chromosomal abnormalities that could discourage cell expansion.
    Background therapy
    From the start of treatment until the end of the trial (month 10 after the first MSC administration) patients performed physical therapy exercises.
