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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 was to evaluate, relative to placebo, the effect of intravenous (IV) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) on repeated heart failure (HF) hospitalisations and cardiovascular (CV) death.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki including amendments in force up to and including the time the study was conducted. The study was conducted in compliance with the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) E6 Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products Guideline (CPMP/ICH/135/95), compliant with the EU Clinical Trial Directive (Directive 2001/20/EC) and/or the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for informed consent and protection of patient rights (21 CFR, Parts 50 and 56) and in accordance with US FDA regulations. A Steering Committee (SC), a Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)/Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) and a Clinical Endpoint Committee (CEC) were established for this trial. The SC was to ensure the scientific integrity of the trial in addition to overseeing the operational conduct. The DSMB/DMC was to oversee the safety of study participants and the CEC was to adjudicate all events suggestive of the study outcomes using predefined criteria detailed in the adjudication charter.
