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.

    - Meets classification criteria for primary sjogren's syndrome (pSS) by the 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) / European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) within 5 years but at least 6 months prior to screening
    - At screening is seropositive for antibodies to pSS-associated antigen A (60 kilodalton [kDa] Ro/sjogren's syndrome-related antigen [SSA])

    - It is recommended that participants are up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations prior to screening as per routine local medical guidelines. For study participants who received locally-approved (and including emergency use-authorized) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines recently prior to study entry, applicable local vaccine labelling, guidelines, and standards-of-care for participants receiving immune-targeted therapy will be followed when determining an appropriate interval between vaccination and study enrollment.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    -Has any confirmed or suspected clinical immunodeficiency syndrome not related to treatment of his/her pSS or has a family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency unless confirmed absent in the participant
    - Comorbidities (for example, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) which have required 3 or more courses of systemic glucocorticoids within the previous 12 months
    - Has any unstable or progressive manifestation of pSS that is likely to warrant escalation in therapy beyond permitted background medications and/or has severely active pSS (clinESSDAI score greater than [>] 13)
