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   44138   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7323   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.

    - Change from baseline in the individual components of the ASAS response criteria
    and the ASDAS
    - Percentage of patients achieving BASDAI 50% response (BASDAI50) and ≥2 units
    improvement in BASDAI (ΔBASDAI≥2)
    - Change from baseline in BASDAI
    • Physical function, as assessed by change from baseline in BASFI
    • Spinal mobility, as assessed by change from baseline in BASMI linear and in the individual components of the BASMI criteria, chest expansion and occiput-to-wall distance.

    • Enthesitis, as assessed by change from baseline in MASES.
