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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    Safety Follow-up Period: starts on the day after the last dose of study intervention (after either the double-blind or the open-label study intervention) and ends 30 days thereafter with a safety telephone call.
    Participants who do not plan to enter the open-label extension (OLEP) period will have this Safety Follow-up Period 30 days after the Analysis Visit for each Analysis. In the OLEP this call constitutes the end of
    study contact.
    Periodo di follow-up di sicurezza: inizia il giorno successivo all'ultima dose del farmaco di studio (dopo l'intervento di studio in doppio cieco o in aperto) e termina dopo 30 giorni con una telefonata di safety.
    I partecipanti che non prevedono di entrare nel periodo di estensione in aperto (OLEP) avranno questo periodo di follow-up di safety 30 giorni dopo la visita di analisi, per ciascuna analisi. Nella OLEP questa chiamata costituisce il contatto finale dello studio.
