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   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   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.

Female patients with childbearing potential need to have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days before study start
    5. ECOG = 1
    6. Exclusion of distant metastases by CT or MRI of abdomen, pelvis, and thorax, bone scan or MRI (if bone metastases are suspected due to clinical signs). Exclusion of the infiltration of any adjacent organs or structures by CT or MRI

Le pazienti donne in età fertile devono risultare negative al test di gravidanza a 7 giorni dall’inizio dello studio
    5. ECOG = 1
    6. Esclusione di metastasi a distanza mediante TAC o MRI di addome, bacino, torace, scintigrafia ossea o MRI (se si sospettano metastasi ossee per via di segni clinici). Esclusione dell’infiltrazione di organi o strutture adiacenti mediante TAC o MRI.

Therefore, database closure is considered the end of the trial.
    La chiusura del database ¿ definita come la fine della sperimentazione: i siti devono raccogliere dati sulla sopravvivenza dei pazienti e sono coinvolti attivamente nel processo di pulizia dei dati (ad esempio potrebbero essere richiesti ulteriori dati e potrebbero essere necessarie visite di monitoraggio aggiuntive).
