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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The main objective is to explore whether ladarixin may improve insulin sensitivity in patients with pre-diabetes eligible to bariatric surgery due to obesity. The safety of ladarixin in the specific clinical setting will be also evaluated.
    L'obiettivo principale è esplorare se ladarixin può migliorare la sensibilità all'insulina nei pazienti con pre-diabete idonei alla chirurgia bariatrica a causa dell'obesità. Verrà inoltre valutata la sicurezza di ladarixin nello specifico contesto clinico.
