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.

    UPCR.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    From baseline to Week 52
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Complete renal response
    To evaluate the effect of anifrolumab compared to placebo on renal response in LN subjects,
    the proportion of subjects achieving CRR at Week 52 will be used. A subject achieves CRR if
    all of the following criteria are met:
    • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR):
    ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or no confirmed decrease of eGFR from baseline of ≥20%
    • 24-hour UPCR ≤0.7 mg/mg
