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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 description
    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to end of study (up to 48 weeks) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least one confirmed dose of study drug and had at least one post-baseline assessment.

Higher scores indicated more severe symptoms. Safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least one confirmed dose of study drug and had at least one post-baseline assessment.

    Number of Subjects With Concomitant use of Topical Corticosteroid (TCS) [17]
    End point description
    Concomitant medications administered prior to and during the study were reported across World Health Organization drug dictionary anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) categories and were typically indicated for use for pre-existing medical conditions (including AD, dryness of the skin, allergic rhinitis, asthma) or AEs. The most commonly reported medications by ATC Level 2 term were antihistamines for systemic use, drugs for obstructive airway diseases, antibacterials for systemic use, corticosteroids and dermatological preparations. Corticosteroids, dermatological preparations that were used by at least 1% of subjects by preferred name, were triamcinolone, hydrocortisone, desonide, triamcinolone acetonide, and mometasone furoate. Safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least one confirmed dose of study drug and had at least one post-baseline assessment.
