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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    In this study with uPAR PET we include patients diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumors in order to investigate the tumor visualization and prognostic performance of (68Ga-NOTA-AE105) uPAR PET/CT
    Protection of trial subjects
    It is emphasized that participation in the study is voluntary and will have no influence on the otherwise planned treatment, whether the patient will participate or not. The study is conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration and the Good Clinical Practice (GCP). All clinical information about the participants is protected under the act on processing of Personal Data and the Danish Health Legislation. Overall, it is considered that the project is ethically sound, as there are no significant risks associated with the uPAR PET/CT imaging procedure.
