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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   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.

    E.8.8 Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
    The end of the study is defined as the date of the data cutoff for the primary OS analysis when 334 participants have died. However, if the study does not expand into Phase III but continues as a Phase II study, the end of study is defined accordingly, as the data cutoff date for the primary OS analysis when 60% participants have died.
    La definizione della fine dello studio è la data del cut-off dei dati per l’analisi primaria dell’OS al momento in cui saranno deceduti 334 partecipanti. Tuttavia, se lo studio non si estende nella fase III ma prosegue come uno studio di fase II, la definizione della fine dello studio è, di conseguenza, la data di cut-off dei dati per l’analisi primaria dell’OS al momento in cui il 60% dei partecipanti è deceduto.

    Participants will be followed for survival and AEs as specified in the Schedule of Activities.
    The Sponsor will not provide any additional care to participants after they leave the study because such care would not differ from what is normally expected for patients with BTC.
    I partecipanti saranno seguiti per la sopravvivenza e gli EA come specificato nel Programma delle attività.
    Lo sponsor non fornirà alcuna terapia aggiuntiva ai partecipanti dopo che avranno abbandonato lo studio in quanto tali cure non differirebbero da quanto normalmente previsto per i pazienti con BTC.
