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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to evaluate the proportion of patients with undetectable HCV RNA at 12 weeks post end of treatment (SVR12) following paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir, dasabuvir and ribavirin therapy for 12 weeks in people with chronic HCV genotype 1 infection and recent injection drug use or receiving opiate substitution therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Treatment with paritaprevir/ritonavir, ombitasvir and dasabuvir with or without ribavirin has been shown to be more effective and less toxic that treatment with standard therapy. Clearing the virus significantly reduces the risk of future liver related morbidity and mortality which clearly outweighs the risk of mild or moderate reversible side effects while on treatment. Patients were monitored closely for adverse events associated with blood collection and the treatment administration.
