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   44207   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7332   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 ).

    Change from Baseline in Disease Activity Score Based on a 28 Joint Count- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (DAS28-ESR) Score at Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 52
    End point description
    DAS calculated on 28 joints is composite score derived from 4 measures: number of swollen joints, number of tender joints, ESR, Patient’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity on VAS. Overall DAS28 was derived using following formulas from DAS28: DAS28=0.56*√(TJC28)+0.28*√(SJC28) +0.014*GH+0.70*ln(ESR). Where: TJC28 = 28 joint count for tenderness, SJC28 = 28 joint count for swelling, ln(ESR) = natural log of ESR, GH = general health component of DAS (ie, Patient’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity, assessed using scale of 1-100 where 100 is maximal activity; For analyses, GH divided by 10 & converted to a 0.5 scale, i.e., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5. DAS28-ESR of >5.1 implies active disease, <3.2 low disease activity, & <2.6 remission. Change of 1.2(twice measurement error)= significant change of disease activity state. Overall score ranges from 0-10 where higher score means more severe disease. ITT Analysis Set used. Here “n”= subjects evaluable for this endpoint at specified time points.

    Health assessment questionnaire disability index (HAQ-DI) Total Score at Baseline, Weeks 12, 24 and 52
    End point description
    The HAQ-DI is a participant-reported questionnaire that is commonly used in RA to measure disease associated disability (assessment of physical function). It consists of several questions referring to 8 domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. HAQ-DI scores range from 0 to 3. The disability section of the questionnaire scores the participant’s self-perception on the degree of difficulty (0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty, and 3 = unable to do). ITT analysis set was used. Here "n" signifies those subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint at specified time points.

    EQ-5D-5L: standardized, participant-rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life. EQ-5D-5L includes 2 components: EQ-5D-5L health state profile & EQ-5D-5L VAS. EQ-5D-5L descriptive system provides a profile of participant’s health state 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort & anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 response options (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems & extreme problems) that reflect increasing levels of difficulty. Participant was asked to indicate his/her current health state by selecting most appropriate level in each of 5 dimensions. Responses to 5 dimension scores were combined & converted into single preference-weighted health utility index score 0(0.0- worst health state) to 1(1.0- better health state) representing general health status of individual based on UK scoring algorithm. ITT analysis set used. Here "n"= subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint at specified time point.
