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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.

    partner, sexual abstinence (only considered an acceptable method of contraception when it is in line with the subject’s usual and preferred lifestyle), combination of male
    condom with either cap, diaphragm or sponge with spermicide [double barrier methods]), and be willing to continue contraception for 1 month after the last

    amenorrhea with serum FSH levels that have been confirmed to be in the “postmenopausal range”. Or have had a surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or
    without hysterectomy) or bilateral tubal ligation at least six weeks before the screening visit. In case of oophorectomy alone, the reproductive status of the woman should have been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment.
