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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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.

    The hospital recovery scale assesses a participant's clinical status. The scale provides 6 mutually exclusive conditions ordered from best to worst: 1) not hospitalized; 2) non-ICU hospitalization, not requiring supplemental oxygen (SO); 3) non-ICU hospitalization, requiring supplemental oxygen; 4) admitted to the ICU, not requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV); 5) requiring invasive mechanical ventilation; and 6) death.
