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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    week 8
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • Percentage of patients who achieve a 5-, 10-, and 15-letter mean improvement in best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at Week 8 compared to baseline (in all patients and in patients with a central location of the PED or corneal ulcer, respectively).
    • Percentage of patients achieving complete corneal healing of PED or corneal ulcer at Week 8, defined as no corneal fluorescein staining in the area of the PED or corneal ulcer as assessed by the investigator.
    • Time to complete corneal healing of PED or corneal ulcer defined as no corneal fluorescein staining in the area of the PED or corneal ulcer as assessed by an independent central reading.
    • Time to complete corneal healing of PED or corneal ulcer defined as no corneal fluorescein staining in the area of the PED or corneal ulcer as assessed by the investigator.
    • Percentage of patients having deterioration of the disease at Week 8 (defined as increase in lesion size ≥ 1 mm as assessed by the investigator, or mean decrease in BCDVA by > 5 letters compared to baseline, or progression in lesion depth to corneal melting or perforation, or onset of infection).
    • Mean change in BCDVA from baseline to Week 8 in all patients and in patients with a central location of the PED or corneal ulcer, respectively.
    • Percentage of patients with improvement in corneal sensitivity from baseline as measured by Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometer at Week 8.
