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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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
    The main objective of this trial was to evaluate the subject reported outcomes on satisfaction with Luxerm® daylight field-directed treatment of thin or non-hyperkeratotic and non-pigmented Actinic Keratosis (AK) lesions on the face or scalp after one session (12 weeks).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical trial was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles originating from the Declaration of Helsinki declaration (1964) and subsequent amendments, the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and in compliance with local regulatory requirements. All subjects who participated in this trial were fully informed on the nature and the constraints of the clinical trial particularly the study treatment instructions before being asked to participate in the study.

    Fitzpatrick skin phototype is a system used to describe a person's skin type. It ranges from skin phototype I to III. Where, skin phototype I = pale white skin, always burns easily, never tans; skin phototype II = fair skin, always burns easily, tans minimally and with difficulty; skin phototype III = darker white skin, burns minimally, tans gradually and uniformly.
