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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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
    Test the safety of ETR treatment in patients with FRDA (two groups of patients treated with 2 different doses: 200 mg / day and 400 mg / day). The goal is to monitor all EAs that will occur during 4 months of treatment with ETR compared to EAs recorded during 4 months of observation before and 4 months after treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Presence among trial documentation of a patient report form for any adverse event experienced. Presence of a dedicated phone number for safety issues available 24/7. Physical exmination during visits, including vital signs, whole body skin inspection, blood testing, urine testing.
