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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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.

    Agree to the following during the study intervention period and for at least 12 weeks after the last dose of study intervention:
    o Refrain from donating sperm
    Plus, either:
    o Abstain from any activity that allows for exposure to ejaculate.
    OR
    o Use a male condom:
     When having sexual intercourse with a WOCBP, who is not currently pregnant, and advise her to use a highly effective contraceptive method with
    a failure rate of <1% per year, since a condom may break or leak.
     When engaging in any activity that allows for exposure to ejaculate.
     Female Participants:
    o Are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
     Not a WOCBP
    OR
     If a WOCBP, use a highly effective contraceptive method (i.e., with a failure rate of <1% per year), preferably with low user dependency, as
    described for the following time periods:
    o Before the first dose of the study intervention(s), if using hormonal contraception:
     Has completed at least one 4-week cycle of an oral contraception pill and either had or has begun her menses
    OR
     Has used a depot contraceptive or extended-cycle oral contraceptive for least 28 days and has a documented negative pregnancy test using a highly
    sensitive assay.
    AND
     A barrier method.
    o During the intervention period
    o After the study intervention period (i.e., after the last dose of study intervention is administered) for at least 12 weeks, after the last dose of study intervention and agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for reproduction during this period.
    The Investigator evaluates the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
    o Have a negative serum pregnancy test, as required by local regulations, within 4 weeks before the first dose of study intervention. Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study intervention .
    -The Investigator reviews the medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a female with an early undetected pregnancy.
