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   44337   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7367   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.

    		 Least Square Mean Change From Baseline in the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale Total (PANSS-T) Score
    End point description
    The PANSS-T is a medical scale used for measuring symptom severity of participants with schizophrenia or related psychotic disorder. It is a 30-item rating instrument that assesses the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia as well as symptoms of general psychopathology. Individual items are rated on a 7-point scale, where 1 = absent and 7 = extreme. A PANSS-T score is derived from the sum of the 30 items and the total score ranges from 30 to 210, where higher scores represent worse outcome. The least square mean change from baseline is being reported and negative values indicate an improvement in outcome.

    		 Least Square Mean Change From Baseline in the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Score
    End point description
    The CGI-S is a 7-point scale used to rate the severity of participants’ illness at the time of assessment. Considering total clinical experience, a participant will be assessed on severity of mental illness at the time of rating 0 = not assessed; 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline mentally ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; or 7 = among the most extremely ill participants. The least square mean change from baseline is being reported and negative values indicate an improvement in outcome.

    		 Number of Participants With Minimally or Better Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Score at Week 12
    End point description
    The CGI-I is a 7-point scale used to rate the improvement of participants' condition at the time of assessment. Compared to the patient's condition at baseline, the participants' condition was rated as 1 = very much improved since initiation of treatment; 2 = much improved; 3 = minimally improved; 4 = no change from baseline; 5 = minimally worse; 6 = much worse; 7 = very much worse since the initiation of treatment. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome. The number of participants with minimally or better improvements (score of 3 or better) are being reported.
