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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.

    A.3Full title of the trial
    A Phase 4, Multi-centre, Randomized, Evaluatorblinded, Active-controlled Study to Determine the Incidence of Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Evaluate the Long-term Safety of Tirbanibulin 10 mg/g Ointment and Diclofenac Sodium 3% Gel for the Treatment of Adult Patients with Actinic Keratosis on the Face or Scalp
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    Long-term clinical safety study to evaluate the risk of actinic keratosis progressing to skin cancer following treatment of the face or scalp with tirbanibulin 10 mg/g ointment and in comparison to diclofenac 3% gel in adult patients. Tirbanibulin and diclofenac are used to treat adults with actinic keratosis on the face and scalp. Actinic keratosis is a precancerous, abnormal skin growth that develops after too much exposure to sunlight.
