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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.

    There are a number of other exploratory objectives including measuring the levels of inflammation in blood, looking at greater details of the exact changes in immune cells during the trial, and in a subset of people enrolling at Mortimer Market Centre, there is the option to have a brain MRI scan at the beginning of the trial and at the end.

    Optional stored blood samples: these will be collected, stored and later tested to help understand how genes affect the amount of fat in liver, for example to measure the e.g. PNP3A g

    Continued provision of maraviroc or metformin will not be possible outside of the trial once the research has finished.

    Patients will take the trial medication for a total of 48 weeks. Until the trial is completed and the results are known, and it has been shown (perhaps with further additional studies) that maraviroc and or metformin is effective, it cannot be recommended as a treatment.
