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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 compare the efficacy on pain at 3 months of a single ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection of (botulinum toxin A) BTA associated with splinting to a single ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection of saline associated with splinting in patients with painful Base-of-thumb osteoarthritis (BTOA)
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients benefit from specific medical monitoring and the single trapezio-metacarpal intra-articular infiltration, i.e. at the base of the thumb, is performed under ultrasound by an experienced radiologist. AP-HP has taken all measures to conduct this research in accordance with the provisions of the Public Health Code applicable to research involving humans.
