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
    This multicenter, open-label, noncomparative study evaluates two oral formulations of raltegravir (MK-0518, film-coated tablet and chewable tablet) in combination with other antiretroviral therapy (ART) for safety, tolerability, and antiretroviral activity in treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced Russian children and adolescents infected with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). As raltegravir is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral therapies (ARTs) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in pediatric patients in the United States (US), this study is designed to gain local treatment experience on the use of raltegravir in the pediatric HIV-infected population in Russia.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research.
