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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of treatment with daclizumab on the proportion of subjects relapse-free at 6 months in RRMS subjects, who switched from treatment with natalizumab to daclizumab due to safety concerns. The secondary objectives of this study in this study population were to evaluate the effects of daclizumab on the following: 1) Multiple Sclerosis (MS) relapse activity including the annualized relapse rate (ARR) and the proportion of subjects experiencing relapses requiring hospitalization and/or steroid treatment 2) MS-related outcomes measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 3) Safety and tolerability in subjects previously treated with natalizumab.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Written informed consent was obtained from each subject or subject’s legally authorised representative (e.g., parent or legal guardian), as applicable, prior to evaluations performed for eligibility. Subjects or the subject’s legally authorised representative were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent/assent and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study.
