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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    Total number of asthma exacerbations reported during the treatment period
    End point description
    An asthma exacerbation was defined as deterioration of asthma that required the use of outpatient oral/parenteral corticosteroids (tablets, suspensions, or injection) or an urgent care, hospitalization, or emergency room (ER) visit due to asthma that required oral/parenteral corticosteroids. Two exacerbations (out of a total of 51) were excluded: (1) one exacerbation occurred within 7 days of the resolution of an earlier one, and, per protocol, was combined with the previous exacerbation; and (2) one exacerbation occurred post treatment. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants randomized to treatment. Only those participants who reported >=1 exacerbation were analyzed.

    A worsening asthma day is one on which any of the following occurred: rescue albuterol use above baseline, use of oral/parenteral corticosteroids for asthma, use of asthma medication other than study medication, asthma symptom scores >=3, nighttime awakenings, unscheduled health care visits, or missed school due to asthma. The duration of worsening asthma is the number of consecutive worsening asthma days after the date of a URTS score of 2 (moderate) or 3 (severe) or collection of a mucus sample containing RV (whichever occurred first). Each span of consecutive days is a participant interval. ITT Population.

    Each participant (with assistance from the parent/legal guardian as needed) was instructed to keep an electronic diary (eDiary) with record of daily URTS symptoms that included: runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, and sore throat. Based on the best-described aggregate URTS during the previous 24 hours, participants rated symptoms as: 0 = Not present; 1 = Mild, clearly present; 2 = Moderately severe, uncomfortable; and 3 = Severe, interfering with sleep or activity. Mucus samples were collected and analyzed for RV when the eDiary alerted for moderate/severe URTS. ITT Population. Only those participants who reported >=1 exacerbation were analyzed.
