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   43857   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.

    Change from Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
    End point description
    HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with baseline as a covariate, pooled country, treatment, time, treatment*time as fixed effects. Analysis Population Description (APD): All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had postbaseline values, excluding post rescue data for Hemoglobin A1c.

    Change from Baseline in Fasting Serum Glucose (FSG)
    End point description
    Fasting serum glucose (FSG) is a test to determine how much glucose (sugar) is in a serum sample after an overnight fast. Least Squares (LS) means was determined by MMRM methodology with baseline as a covariate, pooled country, baseline HbA1c strata using >=8% as cutoff, treatment, time, treatment*time as fixed effects. Analysis Population Description: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had postbaseline values, excluding post rescue data for FSG.

    Hypoglycemic events (HE) were classified as severe, documented symptomatic (defined as an HE with typical symptoms of hypoglycemia and a blood glucose level of ≤3.9 millimoles per liter [mmol/L]). Hypoglycemia rate per 30 days was summarized at each visit by treatment group. The rate of hypoglycemia was analyzed using a generalized estimation equations model with a negative binomial distribution and a Log link. LS mean was determined by MMRM methodology with baseline hypoglycemia rate, pooled country, HbA1c at Baseline, treatment, with log of exposure in days divided by 365.25 as the offset. APD: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had postbaseline values, excluding post rescue values for hypoglycemic Episodes.
