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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of two dosage regimens of the study drug (hydrocortisone acetate 90 mg suppository) administered with the Sephure suppository applicator compared to placebo in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) of the rectum using the Modified Mayo Score.

    Subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of active UC of the rectum, Mayo Score of 2 or 3 extending no more than 15 centimeters (cm) (5.9 inches) proximal to the anal verge as assessed by colonoscopy performed at Visit 2 (Mayo Score of 0 or 1 above 15 cm is allowed). Note: Subjects may have a history of more extensive UC (e.g., pancolitis), but have active disease only in the rectum at the time of enrollment; Total modified Mayo Score (without physician global assessment) of 4-8
