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   44334   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the long-term safety of oral edaravone at a dose of 105 mg administered once daily for 10 days out of a 14-day period, followed by a 14-day drug-free period for 96 weeks of treatment or until the drug is commercially available in that country.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice as required by the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines, applicable regional and local legislation, and standard operating procedures in place at Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America Inc and at the contracted vendor. All participants underwent screening aimed at minimizing the likelihood and impact of potential risks of MT-1186. In addition, regular safety monitoring during the study period for all participants ensured that any unanticipated effects of study participation were identified promptly and managed appropriately. Risk minimization measures were also employed during the study as per the risk-benefit assessment for potential anticipated risks. A participant was to be withdrawn from the study if ANY of the protocol specific withdrawal criteria were met including voluntary wish of participant to withdraw from further participation.
