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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    A.3Full title of the trial
    A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 2 Study Characterizing the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety of Anifrolumab following subcutaneous administration in Adult Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Subjects with Type I Interferon test high result and active skin manifestations
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    The purpose of this study is to investigate how a new experimental medication called anifrolumab is distributed in the body when given as subcutaneous (under the skin) injections to subjects with the autoimmune disease called Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), also known as Lupus. The study will also explore if anifrolumab may improve Lupus skin symptoms.
