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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    21 Jul 2020
    Clarified that study start occur only when it is acceptable and safe to do so in accordance with local and national guidelines. Testing for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and additional visits added. Addition of new exclusion criteria for participants that were positive for COVID-19 and/or had signs and/or symptoms indicative of present or past multisystem inflammatory syndrome. Screening classification for participants with a positive COVID-19 test clarified. Volume of blood clarified for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 serology to allow for testing of COVID 19. Details of mitigations added that could be employed to ensure study continuity in the event of a civil crisis, natural disaster or public health crisis. New section added for COVID-19 safety assessment procedure. New section added for pandemic impact assessment for COVID-19. New requirements for performing spirometry added, including the procedure for participants testing positive for COVID-19, and clarification regarding the safety of performing spirometry. New requirements for conducting the fractional exhaled nitric oxide test added, including the procedure for participants testing positive for COVID 19, and clarification regarding the safety of performing the test. Updated text to clarify that approximately 14 participants will receive a single SC dose of tezepelumab. Additional information added to clarify replacement of participants who did not receive tezepelumab or complete all required evaluations.
    13 May 2021
    The COVID-19 viral testing procedure updated to rapid test at local laboratory instead of at central laboratory at Visit 1 and Visit 2. Removed exclusion for use of systemic or intra-articular glucocorticosteroids for conditions other than asthma for 3 months prior to Visit 2 and discouraged until end of study. Change evidence of asthma by removing post-bronchodilator spirometry or historical reversibility criteria and adding to physician diagnosis of asthma as defined by regional guidelines and Investigator review of medical history. Change in participant’s pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second criteria from ≥ 70% to ≥ 50% of predicted normal value. Updated to allow more than 1 rescreen attempt per participant, as long as the study physician had deemed the reason for rescreen was valid.
    06 Jan 2022
    Removed inclusion criteria for body mass index for age at both screening and Day 1 to include full span of growth percentiles. Updated exclusion criteria around a history of a deterioration in asthma, asthma exacerbation requiring glucocorticoids, and systemic corticosteroid use for the maintenance treatment of asthma to decrease time restriction from 3 months to 6 weeks. Updated exclusion criteria around a history of overnight hospitalisation for asthma from 6 months to 3 months prior to Visit 1, up to and including Visit 2 (Day 1). Updated location where the study was conducted to include approximately 10 study sites globally. Exclusion criteria added relating to COVID-19. Restricted medications updated to allow administration of COVID-19 vaccinations during study conduct.
