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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Study goal is to determine the clinical benefit of a strategy of percutaneous catheter‐based left atrial appendage (LAA) closure in patients with NVAF at high risk of stroke (CHA2DS2‐VASc Score ≥2) and bleeding as compared to best medical care (including a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant [NOAC] if patient is eligible).
    Ziel der Studie ist es, den klinischen Nutzen des perkutanen, katheter-basierten Vorhofsohrverschlusses bei Patienten mit nicht-valvulärem Vorhofflimmern (NVAF) mit hohem Schlaganfallrisiko (CHA2DS2‐VASc Score ≥2) sowie hohem Blutungsrisiko zu bestimmen im Vergleich zur medikamentösen Standardtherapie (einschließlich eines [Nicht-Vitamin K] oralen Antikoagulans [(N)OAK], wenn möglich).
