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   44196   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The baseline period consists only of those 137 participants who were randomized out of the overall 363 enrolled participants.

    Time to First Relapse During the 52 Weeks of the Double-Blind Treatment Period (DBTP) [1]
    End point description
    Time in days from randomization to relapse. The primary efficacy analysis will compare the time to relapse between placebo and rapastinel treatment groups using the log-rank test. Due to study termination, there are not enough events to allow for any statistically meaningful estimation of the Time to First Relapse. As a result, only the time to relapse at the 25th percentile is presented for each study arm, without confidence intervals.
