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.

    Subject analysis set description
    All analyses for primary and secondary efficacy endpoints are presented by lesion type. This means one subject can be included in multiple lesion groups, depending on the type of lesion(s) with a size of ≥10 mm present at baseline. Thus, the FAS population by lesion type includes 47 subjects in the endometrioma group, 45 subjects in the DIE group, and 36 subjects in the adenomyosis group. The primary and secondary efficacy results are presented for these subjects unless otherwise specified. The FAS comprised all randomised and exposed subjects according to the planned treatment; this included 35 subjects in the quinagolide vaginal ring group and 32 subjects in the placebo vaginal ring group. The FAS by each lesion type is primarily used for presenting the efficacy results.

    Notes
    [1] - 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: The endpoint measured the plasma concentration of Quinagolide and its metabolites. You cannot measure the plasma concentration of quinagolide for the subjects who have received placebo.
