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   44363   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7387   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 ).

    End point description
    The AIMS assessment consists of 12 items rating the involuntary movements: Facial and oral movements (4 items), extremity movements (2 items), and trunk movements (1 item) were observed unobtrusively while the participant is at rest and the investigator also made global judgments on the participant's dyskinesias (2 items), and dental status (2 items). Severity of each item was rated on a 5-point scale, with a score of 0 (absence of symptoms) to 4 (severe condition). Total Score is the sum of the scores of all 12 items, ranging from 0 to 48, higher scores indicate severe condition. A negative change reflects an improvement or reduction in the severity of abnormal movements.

    The UKU rating scale is a semi-structured interview used to assess the side effects of subjects being treated with antipsychotic drugs. Each item (i.e., each symptom) of the UKU side effects is defined by the means of a 4-point-scale (0-1-2-3) if it is assessed in psychic, autonomic (auto), neurologic, other categories. In general, Degree 0 means "doubtfully or not present (NP)", and Degrees 1, 2, and 3 indicate that the symptom is present to a mild, moderate or severe degree, respectively. The data for this outcome measure was planned to be collected for only OLT period arm groups.

    Number of Subjects With At Least One Occurrence of Suicidal Behavior or Suicidal Ideation as Recorded on Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
    End point description
    C-SSRS is a scale used to report at least one occurrence of any suicidal behavior or suicidal ideation. Suicidal behavior was defined as reporting any of the following items: actual attempt, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt, and preparatory acts or behavior. The suicidal ideation total score is the sum of intensity scores of 5 items (frequency, duration, controllability, deterrents, and reasons for ideation). The score of each intensity item ranges from 0 (none) to 5 (worst) and the total score ranges from 0 to 25. Lower scores indicate improvement. Subjects with conversion were analysed separately in addition to their analysis in treatment period arms.

    Number of Subjects With at Least One Occurrence of Cognitive Adverse Effects Assessed by New York Assessment for Adverse Cognitive Effects of Neuropsychiatric Treatment (NY-AACENT)
    End point description
    The NY-AACENT is used to detect changes in cognitive function for neurological or psychiatric problems, specifically created to be used in pediatric population (ages 12 -17), but could be used with other age groups, as appropriate. Each of the 7 items is derived from the 7 domains as follows: Working Memory, Attention/Vigilance, Verbal Learning/Memory, Visual Learning/Memory, Reasoning and Problem Solving, Speed of Processing, and Social Cognition. Each score is derived as follows: 0=not present in the past week; 1=present (during past week) and mild; 2=present (during past week) and moderate; 3=present (during past week) and severe; and 4=present (during past week) and extreme; and the item score is set to missing/unknown. The NY-AACENT total score is calculated by summing up 7 individual item scores at participant-visit level. The Total range is 0–28. Higher scores reflects greater severity and frequency of cognitive problems and lower scores shows absence or mild cognitive issues.

    Change From Baseline in the PANSS Total Score
    End point description
    The PANSS consisted of three subscales: a total of 30 symptom constructs. For each symptom construct, severity was rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 (absence of symptoms) to 7 (extremely severe symptoms). The PANSS total score was the sum of the rating scores for 7 positive (+ve) scale items, 7 negative (-ve) scale items, and 16 general psychopathology scale items from the PANSS panel. The PANSS total score ranges from 30 (best possible outcome) to 210 (worst possible outcome). Higher scores indicate worsening of symptoms. A negative change from baseline reflects improvement or reduction in symptom severity. Efficacy Sample consists of all subjects in the Safety Sample who had a baseline assessment and at least one post-baseline assessment of the PANSS Total Score. The data for this outcome measure was planned to be collected for only OLT period arm groups.
