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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objectives for the pilot phase were: Safety: To compare the safety of orally administered DS102 capsules versus placebo in the treatment of adult patients with severe acute decompensated Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH). Pharmacokinetics: To evaluate the PK of 15(S)-HEPE EE following orally administration of DS102 capsules in 6 adult patients with severe acute decompensated AH.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was managed and conducted according to the latest International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements (specifically the principles of GCP in ICH topic E6, as laid down by the Commission Directive 2005/28/EC and in accordance with applicable local laws and guidelines).
