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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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 assess effect of canakinumab on the following inflammatory parameters: ESR, Creactive protein and serum amyloid A
    •To assess effect of canakinumab on an acute attack
    •To assess the time to relapse after 3 months of canakinumab treatment
    •To assess changes in the severity (acute phase response and VAS evaluation of attack severity by patient) and duration of acute attacks during the treatment period
    •To assess changes in the quality of life during study period with a generic tool SF-36
    •To assess PK/PD properties of canakinumab by measuring canakinumab and IL-1beta levels before each dosing
