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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    2. Male patients who are sexually active that do not intend to use effective methods of contraception during the study or within 90 days after the last dosing. Methods include condoms and spermicidal agent, or a hormonal contraceptive method used by the female partner plus a barrier method, or two simultaneous barrier methods.
    3. Confirmed diagnosis of pemphigus foliaceus, paraneoplastic pemphigus, drug-induced pemphigus or any other non-PV auto-immune blistering disease.
    4. History of refractory disease to active third line therapy (e.g. intravenous polyvalent human immunoglobulins [IVIg], rituximab, plasma exchange/ immunoadsorption).
    5. Use of therapies other than oral prednisone and conventional immunosuppressors, that can interfere in the clinical course of the disease (e.g. intravenous [IV] prednisolone bolus, methotrexate, dapsone, sulfasalazine, tetracyclines, nicotinamide, plasmapheresis/ plasma exchange, immunoadsorption and IVIg) within 2 months prior to study entry.

    9. Recent serious infection (i.e., requiring injectable antimicrobial therapy or hospitalization) within the 8 weeks prior to study entry.
    10. Known active or chronic viral infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV); refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.
    11. Known seropositive or active infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV).
