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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    neurostimulation is superior to botulinum toxine injections in best clinical practice in controlling the symptoms of cervical dystonia
    Symptome der zervikalen Dystonie werden besser durch eine tiefe Hirnstimulation als durch beste klinische Anwendung der Botulinumtoxintherapie kontrolliert
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    neurostimulation achieves a better outcome in everyday functioning and a better health-related quality of life than botulinum toxine injections in best clinical practice. With this indication neurostimulation provides sufficient safety.

    Es werden bessere Alltagsfunktionen und eine bessere Le-bensqualität durch eine tiefe Hirnstimulation als durch beste klinische Anwendung der Botulinumtoxinthera-pie erreicht. Die tiefe Hirnstimulation ist bei dieser Indikation aus-reichend sicher.
