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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    		 Percentage of Subjects Who Achieved Clinical Response at Week 12 [1]
    End point description
    Clinical response is defined as a decrease from baseline in the Mayo score greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) and >=3 points with either a decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) >=1 or a RBS of 0 or 1. The Mayo score was calculated as the sum of 4 subscores (stool frequency, rectal bleeding, physician's global assessment, and endoscopy findings - each with score range of 0 (normal activity) to 3 (severe activity) and a total score range of 0 to 12 points. A score of 3 to 5 points indicates mildly active disease, a score of 6 to 10 points indicates moderately active disease, and a score of 11 to 12 points indicates severely active disease. Efficacy analyses were based on the Full Analysis Set (FAS), which included all randomised subjects who received at least 1 (partial or complete) dose of study intervention.
