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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    End point title
    Change from Baseline to Week 12 in the Weekly Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Score (DGSSS) [1]
    End point description
    Participants assessed the severity of diabetic gastroparesis symptoms daily using the Diabetic Gastroparesis Symptom Severity Diary (DGSSD), recorded in an electronic diary (e-diary). The DGSSS was derived as the sum of the weekly averages of the 4 DGSSD items: nausea, abdominal pain, postprandial fullness and bloating. Each symptom was scored using an 11-point ordinal scale where: 0=no or not at all uncomfortable to 10=worst possible or most uncomfortable for a total possible DGSSS of 0 (best) to 40 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 weekly DGSSS from the run-in period of the previous study or the run-in period of this study for new participants. Modified-intent-to-treat (mITT) Population included all randomised participants with ≥1 postbaseline assessment of DGSSD. 'n' indicates number analysed is the number of participants with data available at the given time-point.

    Number of Participants who Experienced One or More Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) [3]
    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. A TEAE is an AE that begins or worsens after receiving study drug. Safety Population included all participants who received ≥1 administration of study treatment.

    Number of Participants with Anti-relamorelin Antibody Testing Results by Visit [8] [9]
    End point description
    A blood sample was collected that was sent to a laboratory for an anti-relamorelin antibody screening test. A positive screening test was confirmed by an immunodepletion assay. The number of participants in each of the following categories are reported: Negative Screening Test, Positive Screening Test, Negative Confirmatory Test, and Positive Confirmatory Test at each time point. Safety Population included all participants who received ≥1 administration of double-blind study treatment (N=299 in the Relamorelin 10 μg arm). Anti-relamorelin antibody testing was only done for those participants who received treatment with relamorelin. 'n' indicates number analysed is the number of participants with data available at the given timepoint. Due to a laboratory issue not all positive screening tests were confirmed.
