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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Statistical analysis description
    Continuous variables are expressed as means (±1 SD) or medians (interquartile range [IQR]), and discrete variables as percentages. At baseline, the comparisons of means, medians, and frequencies among treatment groups were carried out using the t-test, Wilcoxon test, and chi-square test, respectively. A linear mixed regression model (LMRM) was used for the analysis of the primary endpoint. We modeled changes from baseline in PaO2/FiO2 as a longitudinal outcome. Because of hierarchical levels of
