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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7294   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
    The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate comparable clinical efficacy of SB12 and Soliris®, by evaluating the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in subjects with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects should be monitored and documented for at least one hour following completion of the infusion for signs or symptoms of an infusion reaction. If an adverse reaction occurs during the administration of IPs, the infusion may be slowed or stopped at the discretion of the Investigator. If the infusion is slowed, the total infusion time may not exceed 2 hours.
