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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate the effectiveness of treatment with Bacillus clausii probiotic strain (Enterogermina) in combination with oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for a period of 5 days, in the duration of acute community-acquired diarrhea in Latin American children.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted by investigators experienced in the treatment of paediatric subjects. The parent(s) or guardian(s) as well as the children were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time. In addition to the consent form for the parent(s)/guardian(s), an assent form in child appropriate language was provided and explained to the child. Repeated invasive procedures were minimised.

    Adverse events information [1]
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All Adverse Events (AE) were collected from signature of informed consent form up to final visit (between Day 6 and Day 10) regardless of seriousness or relationship to investigational product. Analysis was done on safety population.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Reported AE are treatment-emergent adverse events that is AEs that developed/worsened during the ‘on treatment period’ (first day of initial dose of study drug, up to the last visit).
