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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The purpose of the study is to investigate the clinical benefit of switching children with ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactive disorder) from immediate-release methylphenidate (IR-MPH) to Osmotic controlled-release oral delivery system (OROS)-methylphenidate under the correct dosage conversion scheme.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety was evaluated based on the following variables: adverse events and serious adverse events, measurement of vital signs and the performance of physical examinations. Barkley’s Side Effect Rating Scale (Barkley’s SERS) was used to measure side effects.

    Optimal response is defined as a score of 0 or 1 on each of the first 18 Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) items in Swanson, Nolan and Pelham-Fourth Edition (SNAP-IV) rating scale. SNAP-IV rating scale consists of 18 ADHD items and 8 Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) items. Each item was scored for severity on a 4-point scale ranging from 0-3, where 0=not at all and 3=very much.

    Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale Score
    End point description
    The Clinical Global Impression Severity (CGI-S) rating scale is a 7 point global assessment that measures the clinician's impression of the severity of illness exhibited by a participant. A rating of 1 is equivalent to "Normal, not at all ill" and a rating of 7 is equivalent to "Among the most extremely ill participants". Higher scores indicate worsening. CGI Improvement scale is a 7 point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the subject’s illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention: 1=very much improved; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change; 5=minimally worse; 6=much worse; 7=very much worse.
