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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

Baseline was the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Intent to Treat (ITT) Set that included all participants who received at least one dose of study treatment. Only those participants who were measured and analyzed (i.e., contributed data reported in the table) were included in the ‘Overall Number of Participants Analyzed’ field. 'Number Analyzed' signifies participants evaluable for the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles). Participants who had Baseline and at least 1 post-Baseline visit values were included in analysis.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    15 Mar 2021
    Protocol amendment 1: The primary driver for this protocol amendment was to reduce the number of sampling timepoints for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) analysis, due to the increased blood volume required for this analysis. Other key changes include: a description of the risk of Coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19) infection in the hepatis B population, added at the request of the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA); an update to the time to maximum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) analysis method; additional guidance and clarity for Investigators has been added; corrections to visit windows and visit numbering in the schedule of activities (SoA).

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats
