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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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 ).

    Percentage of Participants with Tanner Stage Regression or No Progression at Week 24
    End point description
    Tanner Stage was used to measure pubertal development. Tanner Stage is based on progression through 5-stages. Progression was defined as either breast/genitals or pubic hair score being increased compared with baseline score. Otherwise, the status was classified as regression or no progression. Baseline was defined as the assessment prior to the first dose of study drug. The enrolled population set included all the eligible participants enrolled in this study, i.e., all participants enrolled in this study who met the inclusion criteria and did not meet any of the exclusion criteria, regardless of whether they received the study drug.

    Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
    End point description
    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. TEAE is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. Safety population set included all participants who had been under treatment with leuprorelin or who were first prescribed leuprorelin, received at least one dose and completed one follow-up visit.
