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
    Quality of Life [1] [2]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint of this study was the overall QoL measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 sum score after 9 weeks of treatment which was defined as end of treatment (EoT) in this study.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    after 9 weeks
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Because of the low number of patients finally included in this study statistical analysis of group comparisons was not possible. Thus, only descriptive analysis was performed.
    [2] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Because of the low number of patients finally included in this study statistical analyses of group comparisons were not possible. Thus, parameters were only listed and summarized by descriptive statistics for the whole data set (n=10) and for patients treated with pazopanib (n=8).
