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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    • To evaluate the effect of luspatercept versus placebo on functional and health-related quality of life (QoL) as measured by Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) questionnaires
    • valutare l’effetto di luspatercept rispetto al placebo sui sintomi correlati alla beta-talassemia, misurato tramite l’esito riportato dai pazienti affetti da beta-talassemia non trasfusione-dipendenti (NTDT-PRO) nel corso di un intervallo continuato di 12 settimane (dalla Settimana 13 alla 24 e dalla Settimana 37 alla 48) rispetto alla baseline
    • valutare l’effetto di luspatercept rispetto al placebo sulla qualità della vita (QoL) funzionale e correlata alla stato di salute, misurato tramite il Questionario breve per lo studio degli esiti medici a 36 voci (SF-36) e il Questionario di valutazione funzionale della terapia delle malattie croniche - Affaticamento (FACIT-F)

    After unblinding, subjects still benefitting from luspatercept treatment as well as subjects who received placebo & have been assessed as per protocol up to 48 wks after 1st dose of IP (even if they have discontinued the IP before completing 48 wks of treatment), may access the rollover study to receive luspatercept, if eligible. Subjects in
    the PTFP who have discontinued luspatercept before the unblinding may continue the PTFP in the rollover study up to completion of min 3 yrs after last dose
    Dp l’apertura del cieco i sog che continuano a trarre benef dal tratt con luspatercept e i sog che hanno ricevuto il placebo e sono stati valutati sec quanto definito nel prot fino a 48sett dopo l'assunz della1dose di IP potranno accedere allo studio di rollover per ricevere luspatercept.I sog nel PTFP che hanno interrotto il tratt cn luspatercept prima dell’apertura del cieco potranno continuare il PTFP nello studio di rollover fino al completamento di almeno 3anni dp l’assunz
