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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    to compare the absolute change from baseline in HbA1c at Week 52 between dapagliflozin plus metformin and dapagliflozin plus saxagliptin plus metformin with glimepiride plus metformin.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects were monitored throughout the study to ensure adequate glycaemic control.

    [1] - The non-inferiority (NI) margin was determined to be 0.30% (in absolute terms). A difference of ≤0.30%, in HbA1c change from b/l to wk 52 between the treatment groups was considered clinically equivalent. NI was assessed using the 2-sided 95% CI of adjusted mean difference between dapagliflozin or dapagliflozin plus saxagliptin and glimepiride.
