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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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 ).

The 8 items of MGADL questionnaire derived from symptom-based components of original 13-item QMG scale to assess disability secondary to ocular (2 items), bulbar (3 items), respiratory (1 item), and gross motor or limb (2 items) impairment related to effects from MG. In this functional status instrument, each response was graded 0 (normal)-3 (most severe). Range of total MG-ADL score: 0-24. Decrease in score indicated improvement. Estimates based on MMRM that included treatment group, stratification factor region, and MG-ADL total score at baseline, study visit, and study visit by treatment group interaction.

The range of total QMG score is 0 to 39. The QMG scoring system was considered to be an objective evaluation of therapy for MG and was based on quantitative testing of sentinel muscle groups. A decrease in score indicated improvement. Estimates were based on MMRM that included treatment group, stratification factor region, and QMG total score at baseline, study visit, and study visit by treatment group interaction.

    The revised Myasthenia Gravis Qualify of Life 15-item scale (MG-QOL15r) is a health-related QoL evaluative instrument specific to participants with MG. MG-QOL15r was designed to provide information about participants’ perception of impairment and disability, determine the degree to which disease manifestations are tolerated, and to be administered and interpreted easily. Each item was graded on a scale of 0 to 2, with 2 being the most severe. The range of MG-QOL15r score is 0 to 30. Higher scores indicated greater extent of and dissatisfaction with MG-related dysfunction. Estimates are based on MMRM that included treatment group, stratification factor region and MG-QOL15r score at baseline, study visit and study visit by treatment group interaction.
