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   44157   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7327   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.

    A.3Full title of the trial
    A prospective, randomized, international, multicenter, double-arm, controlled, open-label study of Riociguat in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who are on a stable dose of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5i) with or without endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), but not at treatment goal
    Un estudio abierto, prospectivo, aleatorizado, internacional, multicéntrico, con dos grupos y controlado con riociguat en pacientes afectados por hipertensión arterial pulmonar (HAP) que están siendo tratados con una dosis estable de inhibidores de la fosfodiesterasa 5 (PDE-5i) combinados o no con antagonistas de los receptores de la endotelina (ERA) pero no han alcanzado el objetivo del tratamiento.
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    A study to find out whether some PAH patients may benefit by replacing their current phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5i) with or without endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), with Riociguat
    Un estudio para averiguar si algunos pacientes con HAP pueden beneficiarse mediante la sustitución de sus actuales inhibidores de la fosfodiesterasa-5 (PDE-5i) con o sin antagonista del receptor de endotelina (ERA), con Riociguat
