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   44024   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7318   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.

    As soon as more data on safety and efficacy of bimekizumab become available, the current AS0009 study will either be amended to have a longer duration or the subjects completing this study may be transitioned to a different bimekizumab study as described in the protocol. In addition, there are other products already available that are approved for the same indication, therefore patients will not be without treatment alternatives once they are off of the bimekizumab study.
    Cuando se disponga de más datos sobre la seguridad y la eficacia del bimekizumab, o se modificará el actual estudio AS0009 para tener una duración más larga o los sujetos que lo completen pueden ser transicionados a un estudio diferente de bimekizumab como se describe en el protocolo. Además, hay otros productos aprobados ya disponibles para la misma indicación, por lo tanto los pacientes no estarán sin alternativas de tratamiento una vez que estén fuera del estudio de bimekizumab.
