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.

    Change from baseline in asthma symptom score, daily activity score, nocturnal sleep score at 24 weeks
    End point description
    The asthma symptoms and the cough were measured three times a day. The daily activity and the nocturnal sleep were measured once a day. From these measurements, asthma symptom score, daily activity score and nocturnal sleep score were calculated according to the rating standard of the Japanese Society of Allergology. The asthma symptom score in a day (possible range 0 to 30) was calculated by summing symptom scores (ranges 0 to 9) and cough scores (ranges 0 or 1) in the morning, the afternoon and the evening as recorded on the diary. The total activity score (ranges 0 to 27) was calculated as the total of daily activity score (ranges 0 to 18) and nocturnal sleep score (ranges 0 to 9).

    Date
    Amendment
    23 Aug 2011
    • Changed the bioanalytical CRO for total IgE analysis from Phadia to Atlanbio due to business considerations. • Updated information on storage condition of reconstituted study medication due to the technical change. • Added an alternative instruction for calibration of spirometers due to the technical change. • Deleted the process of obvious errors correction and corrected the way to change the database after it is locked.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
