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   43873   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
    To evaluate efficacy and safety of the new combination topical gel containing diphenhydramine hydrochloride 20 mg/g and lidocaine hydrochloride 10 mg/g versus placebo in the treatment of local skin inflammatory and allergic lesions induced in the provocative test with histamine (skin prick test)
    Protection of trial subjects
    Observation per subject from enrolment to the study (screening examination) until the end-of study evaluation. Medical surveillance at site. Safety procedures: physical examination, vital signs, laboratory tests, safety monitoring (AEs).

    Blinding implementation details
    The double-blind design was used for the study. The aim of this was to decrease the risk of systematic error. Especially, this ensured more results reliability at the point of asking subjects about symptoms intensity as well as during taking measurements by the Investigator. Blinding could have been only broken in emergency situations for reasons of subjects safety. IPs were packed and labelled in a way that prevented unblinding.
