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   44235   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7336   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.

    MS populations.

    2. Clinical characteristics of long-term responders (defined as study participants who did not demonstrate any evidence of disease reactivation based on Investigator assessment of clinical and imaging outcomes until Year 4 or later following their last dose of IMP and who did not receive disease modifying treatment until Year 4 or later following their last dose of IMP) compared to those of other study participants who started on alternate therapy less than 4 years following their last dose of IMP for the CLARITY/CLARITY-EXT and ORACLE MS populations.
    MRI Sub-Study:
    3. MRI characteristicsc at Study Visit 2 of longterm responders (defined as study participants who did not demonstrate any evidence of disease reactivation based on Investigator assessment of clinical and
    imaging outcomes until Year 4 or later following their last dose of IMP and who did not receive disease modifying treatment until Year 4 or later following their last dose of IMP) compared to those of other study participants who started on alternate therapy less than 4 years following their last dose of IMP for the CLARITY/CLARITY-EXT and ORACLE MS populations.
