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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Arms
    Arm title
    200 mg sulindac
    Arm description
    Upon arrival at the endoscopy unit, the volunteers were positioned on their left side and an enema (250 mL of tap water) was administered rectally to rinse the left hemicolon while retaining the physiological state of the right hemicolon. A colonoscopy was then performed by a single experienced endoscopist to obtain two blank biopsies. Next, an Arthrocine tablet (200 mg sulindac) was orally administered with 240 mL of tap water. The colonoscope was left untouched. Between 1 and 2.5 h after drug intake, two caecal biopsies were taken every 15 min with a standard biopsy forceps. After 2.5 h, colonic contents (±2 mL) were sampled through the suction channel of the colonoscope and the colonoscope was retracted. 3 hours later, the colonoscope was positioned again in order to sample caecal biopsies every 15 min between 6 and 7.5 h after drug intake. After 7.5 h, colonic contents were collected and colonoscope was retracted.
