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.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All-cause mortality was collected from randomization until their study completion (up to approximately 38 months). SAEs and non-SAEs were collected from first dose to 100 days after last dose of study therapy (up to approximately 27 months).
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    All treated participants included all enrolled participants who received at least one dose of any study treatment.

Participants received first Trans-arterial ChemoEmbolization (TACE) in in 7 days after randomization and then TACE as needed, until participant was no longer eligible for further TACE, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or the study ends, whichever occurs first.
