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.

    Correlation Between Change From Baseline and 24 Week Endpoint in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV-Parent:Investigator-Administered and Scored (ADHDRS-IV-Parent:Inv) Total Score and School Grade Average (SGA) [1]
    End point description
    Correlation was calculated between change from baseline and endpoint in ADHD-RS Total Score and change in SGA total score. ADHD-RS measures 18 symptoms associated with diagnosis of ADHD. Individual item scores range from 0 (none/never or rarely) to 3 (severe/very often). Total scores range from 0 to 54. SGA: Grades (0 to 100) in classes of Language, Math, and Science were obtained and average taken to get SGA Total Score between 0 and 100; higher scores indicating better grades/apptitude. Any ordinal grades were imputed to numerical grades based on communication with relevant schools. Analysis Population Description (APD): All patients with baseline and at least one non-missing post-baseline score for each of the variables, regardless of them having or not having received any ordinal grades (for the SGA).
