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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    -To evaluate HIV viral kinetics in seminal plasma and rectal fluid, and cervicovaginal fluid in HIV-1 infected ART naïve male and female individuals, respectively, initiating Bictegravir/FTC/TAF. - To determine Bictegravir concentrations in fluid and tissue from the male and female genital tract (seminal plasma and cervicovaginal fluid) and rectal compartment (rectal tissue and rectal fluid) in HIV-1 infected male and female individuals receiving ART with Bictegravir/FTC/TAF.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Although assessed treatment is approved and is used in routine care, the sponsor contracted an insurance as a mandatory aspect defined in the legal framework of the country site due a different procedures performed during the clinical trial out of routine clinical practice.
