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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    Parents were asked to assess their children on a 26-item Chinese SNAP-IV questionnaire consisting of inattention (items 1-9; subscore range 0-27), hyperactivity (items 10-18; subscore range 0-27) and oppositional (19-26, subscore range 0-24) subscales used to assess the qualitative judgments in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Each item was based on a 4-point likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). The overall score ranged from 0 to 78. The total score for Inattention and hyperactivity ranged from 0 to 27 and for oppositional ranged from 0 to 21. Mean Change was calculated as mean SNAP-IV score at Week 2 minus mean SNAP-IV score at Baseline. Here 'n' included those Subjects who were evaluable for this measure at the specified time point.

    Mean Change From Baseline in Chinese Health Questionnaire (CHQ) at Week 4 [7]

    The CHQ is a self administered screening instrument used to assess psychiatric morbidity in the Chinese community. It was derived from the General Health Questionnaire, and has been validated with satisfactory construct validity and applied in the survey of psychiatric morbidity in the community and in hospital settings. Four factors are included in the structure: somatic symptoms; anxiety and worrying; sleep problems; and depression and poor family relationships. It contains 12 items, with a maximum score of 12. CHQ scores indicated the severity of Subjects’ psychological problems (0–2=normal; 3–4=minor; 5–6=moderate; and 7–12=severe psychological problems). Mean Change was calculated as mean CHQ score at Week 4 minus mean CHQ score at Baseline.

    Number of Participants With Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Score
    End point description
    CGI-I is a single item assessment of the global improvement of ADHD symptoms in relation to the clinician’s total experience after reviewing all the returned questionnaires and clinical assessment of participants’ behavioral symptoms. Improvement is rated on a 7-point scale (1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, and 7=very much worse). Here 'N' (number of Subjects analysed) included those subjects who were evaluable for this measure. 'n' included those subjects who were evaluable for this measure at specified time point.
