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   43977   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7312   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.

    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Merck will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA (Blood and tissue) specimens collected during this clinical trial. Such research is for biomarker testing to address emergent questions not described elsewhere in the protocol (as part of the main trial) and will only be conducted on specimens from appropriately consented subjects. The objective of collecting specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and/or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs, and/or to ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug at the correct time
    Merck realizará investigaciones biomédicas futuras con las muestras
    obtenidas (sangre y tejido) para tal finalidad durante este ensayo
    clínico. Estas investigaciones tendrán por objeto el análisis de
    biomarcadores con el fin de abordar aspectos nuevos que no se
    describen en otras partes del protocolo (como parte del ensayo
    principal) y solo se llevarán a cabo en muestras de los pacientes que
    hayan otorgado el consentimiento correspondiente. El objetivo de la
    obtención de muestras para investigaciones biomédicas futuras es
    estudiar e identificar biomarcadores que proporcionen información a los
    científicos sobre las enfermedades y sus tratamientos. El objetivo último
    es utilizar tal información para desarrollar fármacos más seguros y
    eficaces o para garantizar que los sujetos reciban la dosis correcta del
    fármaco en el momento preciso.
