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.

    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Exclusion Criteria:
    1. Philadelphia chromosome positive ALL.
    2. Participation in another clinical trial interfering with the study therapy.
    3. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, receiving combination antiretroviral therapy or patients with severe or systemic infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
    4. Other severe acute/chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and in the judgment of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
    5. Pregnant or lactating females .
    6. Inadequate organ functions, which prohibit further asparaginase administration
    7. History of grade 3 or higher transfusion reactions or any contraindication to receive blood transfusion. Presence of specific anti-erythrocytes antibodies (auto-antibodies or anti-public antibodies) preventing from getting a compatible packed Red Blood Cells for the patient.

    4. Muu vaikea akuutti/krooninen somaattinen tai psyykkinen sairaus/tila tai laboratoriopoikkeavuus, jotka voisivat lisätä riskiä, mikä liittyy tutkimukseen osallistumiseen tai tutkimuslääkkeen saamiseen, tai haittaisi tutkimustulosten analysoimista, ja voisi tutkijan arvion mukaan tehdä potilaan tähän tutkimukseen soveltumattomaksi.
