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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective was to show non-inferiority of the efficacy of a single subcutaneous dose of dasiglucagon batch B relative to that of dasiglucagon batch A for treatment of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance of the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki, current guidelines for GCP and local regulations.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The patients were recruited from 4 trial centers in Austria (1 center), Canada (1 center) and Germany (2 centers) between 10 March 2019 (first patient enrolled) and 30 July 2019 (Last patient completed trial)

    Pre-assignment
