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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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 demonstrate superiority of maintenance therapy with avelumab versus continuation of first-line chemotherapy with regard to the objective response rate (ORR) as per RECIST v1.1 and per Investigator assessment.
    • To compare the subject-reported outcomes / quality of life (QoL) of subjects when treated with avelumab versus continuation of first-line chemotherapy as assessed by the European Quality of Life, 5-dimensions 5 Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 and module QLQ-STO22
    • To determine the safety and tolerability of avelumab
