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   7337   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.

    failure with a reduced ejection fraction and with iron deficiency.

    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Hierarchical composite of 1) death, 2) hospitalization for heart
    failure (defined in section 10.2), or 3) change in 6MWT. (Death and hospitalizations for heart failure will be evaluated at one year,
    Change in 6MWT will be evaluated at 6 months) and tested using the nonparametric Wilcoxon-type test.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    as above
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    1. Time to first event of the composite of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization. The composite endpoint will be
    composed of adjudicated occurrence of one of the following:
    a. Cardiovascular Death
    i. Death due to Heart Failure
    ii. Death due to Acute Myocardial Infarction
    iii. Sudden Cardiac Death
    iv. Death due to Stroke
    v. Death due to other Cardiovascular Causes
    b. Hospitalization for Worsening Heart Failure
    2. Mean change in 6MWT from baseline to 12 months
    3. Time to first event of the composite of cardiovascular death or intervention for worsening heart failure (hospitalization or urgent heart failure visits)
    4. Time to first event of the composite of cardiovascular death and cardiovascular hospitalizations
    5. Time to cardiovascular death

    Additional events to be adjudicated for analysis of the secondary endpoints include:
    a) Non-cardiovascular death
    b) Hospitalization for myocardial infarction
    c) Hospitalization for stroke
    d) Other cardiovascular hospitalizations
    e) Urgent heart failure visits
