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   43876   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7294   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.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    This study was conducted in subjects with cystic fibrosis, aged 12 years and older, who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and the minimal function mutation (F/MF) genotypes. A 2-week baseline period was used to establish baseline cough and activity patterns prior to the first dose of study drug.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: A total 82 subjects were enrolled in the study. One subject in enrolled but did not dose in this study. Therefore, data for 81 subjects are reported in the subject disposition and baseline characteristics sections.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Participants’ post-baseline values were compared to their baseline values with a mixed model for repeated measures with change from baseline at each post-baseline visit on the natural log scale as the dependent variable. The primary result obtained from the model was the estimated percent reduction in cough frequency from baseline to the average of Week 8 through Week 12, i.e. 100% × (1-(exp (LS mean)).
