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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    Change From Baseline in Child Health and Illness Profile-Child Edition (CHIP) Total Score and 5 Sub-domains Score at Week 12
    End point description
    Child Health and Illness Profile-Child Edition (CHIP) was designed to assess the physical, psychological health conditions and functional well-being of children. The instrument has sub-domains such satisfaction (11 items) ranges from 0 to 44, stability (22 items) ranges from 0 to 88, elasticity (19 items) ranges from 0 to 76, risk aversion (14 items) ranges from 0 to 56, achievement (10 items) ranges from 0 to 40. Good health is in the range from 44 to 56 points for all sub-domains. A score of 43 or below indicates poor health in that domain. A score of 57 or higher indicates excellent health. The total score is an average of the scores for the 5 domains and ranges from 0 to 304. Higher total score indicates better health. ITT population included participants who took study drug at least once and had primary efficacy endpoint data available. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was used. "n" signifies participants who were evaluated for each specified category.

    CAT was developed to properly reflect brain function in childhood. It provided measurement of simple visual selective attention in terms of omission (number of missing response to target stimulus [0-150], higher score indicate greater omission), false alarm (number of response to non-target stimulus [0-150], higher score indicate greater false alarm), response mean (average time spent to response to target stimulus [200-1100, low score means faster response to target stimulus]), Response (consistency of response time to target stimulus [30-650, Low score means good consistency of response]). ITT population included participants who received the study drug at least once and had the primary efficacy endpoint data available. LOCF method was used. “N” (Number of Participants Analyzed) represents number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

The test battery provided a comprehensive measurement of simple visual auditory attention, interventional visual-auditory selective attention, divided attention, continuous attention, and operational memory. Working memory forward was measured in terms of width of space and number of correct responses ranging from 0 to 10. For width of space boxes were presented on the screen and participants remembered the order of presented box. Participants pressed the box using mouse in the forward order. Maximum number that participants correctly memorized box in the screen in the respective order was reported and overall number of times a participant responded correctly was also reported. ITT population included participants who received the study drug at least once and had the primary efficacy endpoint data available. LOCF method was used. “N” (Number of Participants Analyzed) represents number of participants were evaluable.
