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.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 Mar 2016
    Amendment 1: The purpose of this amendment was to address comments received from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the advice/information request letter following submission of the investigational new drug (IND) application. Additional changes included, other administrative changes or clarifications.
    18 May 2016
    Amendment 2: The purpose of this amendment was to revise the inclusion criteria to be more reflective of the patient characteristics based on the feedback received from the study investigators. Due to the mechanistic nature of the study, newly diagnosed patients with GD were the target population for more homogeneity of the disease states. However, this treatment option could provide more benefit for patients relapsing from ATD treatments in the real world based on communication with the investigators, therefore, patients did not necessarily need to be newly diagnosed with GD (within 6 months of screening) to participate in the study. Few other changes and clarifications are also made in the enrollment criteria. Additionally, other administrative changes were made throughout the document.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
