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.

    Percentage of Participants with Chronic or Recurrent Pouchitis Achieving Clinically Relevant Remission at Week 14
    End point description
    Clinically relevant remission is defined as modified Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (mPDAI) score <5 and a reduction of mPDAI score by ≥2 points from Baseline. The 12-point mPDAI score is calculated from two 6-point subscales: 1) Clinical Symptoms: Stool Frequency (0=usual to postoperative stool frequency to 2=three or more stools/day>postoperative usual); Rectal bleeding (0=None or rare to 1=Present daily); Fecal urgency or abdominal cramps (0=None to 2=Usual), Fever [temperature >37.8 degrees C] (0=Absent and 1=Present) for a clinical symptoms subscore of 0 (best) to 6 (worse); 2) Endoscopic Inflammation Findings: Edema, Granularity, Friability, Loss of vascular pattern, Mucous exudates and Ulcerations. Each item is scored on a scale of 0=not present to 1=present summed up to an endoscopic subscore ranging from 0 (best) to 6 (worst). Full Analysis Set (FAS) included all randomised participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication, as randomised.

    Percentage of Participants Achieving a Partial mPDAI Response at Weeks 14 and 34
    End point description
    Partial mPDAI response is defined as a reduction in mPDAI score by ≥2 points from Baseline. The 12-point mPDAI score is calculated from two 6-point scales: 1) Clinical Symptoms: Stool Frequency (0=usual to postoperative stool frequency to 2=3 or more stools/day>postoperative usual); Rectal bleeding (0=None or rare to 1=Present daily); Fecal urgency or abdominal cramps (0=None to 2=Usual), Fever [temperature >37.8 degrees C] (0=Absent and 1=Present) for a clinical symptoms subscore of 0 (best) to 6 (worse); 2) Endoscopic Inflammation Findings: Edema, Granularity, Friability, Loss of vascular pattern, Mucous exudates and Ulcerations. Each item is scored on a scale of 0=not present to 1=present summed up to an endoscopic subscore ranging from 0 (best) to 6 (worst). Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used for analyses. FAS included all randomised participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication, as randomised.

    Change From Baseline in PDAI Endoscopic Inflammation Subscore at Weeks 14 and 34
    End point description
    The PDAI Endoscopic Inflammation subscore is a sum of scores from findings for Edema, Granularity, Friability, Loss of vascular pattern, Mucous exudates, and Ulcerations, each scored on 0=not present to 1=present scale summed up to a subscore ranging from 0 (best) to 6 (worse) where higher scores indicate more severe disease. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. LOCF method was used for analyses. FAS included all randomised participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication, as randomised.

    Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) Total Score at Weeks 14, 22, and 34
    End point description
    The IBDQ is an instrument used to assess quality of life in adult participants with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It includes 32 questions on 4 domains of Health-Related Quality-of-Life (HRQOL): Bowel Systems (10 items), Emotional Function (12 items), Social Function (5 items), and Systemic Function (5 items). Participants are asked to recall symptoms and quality of life from the last 2 weeks and rate each item on a 7-point Likert scale (1=worst to 7=best). A total IBDQ score is calculated by summing the scores from each domain; the total IBDQ score ranges from 32 to 224, with lower scores reflecting worse HRQOL. A negative change from Baseline indicates worsening. LOCF method was used for analyses. FAS included all randomised participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication, as randomised. Overall number analysed are the number of participants with data evaluable for analyses.

    Change From Baseline in Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL) at Weeks 14, 22, and 34
    End point description
    The CGQL (Fazio score) is a quality-of-life indicator specifically for participants with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Participants rate 3 items (current quality of life, current quality of health, and current energy level), each on a scale of 0 to 10 (0=worst; 10=best). The scores are added, and the final CGQL utility score is obtained by dividing this result by 30. The total score ranges from 0 (worst) to 1 (best) where lower scores indicate less quality of life. A negative change from Baseline indicates worsening. LOCF method was used for analyses. FAS included all randomised participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication, as randomised. Overall number analysed are the number of participants with data evaluable for analyses.
