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   43977   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7312   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.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Jan 2022
    Protocol Amendment 3, dated 12 Jan 2022, was a substantial amendment that was implemented after 6 participants had been enrolled in the study. The main purpose of this amendment was to decrease the burden on study participants, their families, and clinical sites by allowing study participants to leave the clinic after the 6-hour postdose safety assessments and PK blood sampling and return to the clinic for the 24- and 36-hour postdose assessments, at the discretion of the Investigator. This change in the study conduct was supported by results from the first set of study participants (N=6, including at least 2 adolescent participants with body weight <50kg) enrolled in UP0100. Careful review of these results by the study safety monitoring committee (SMC) did not reveal any safety concerns that would preclude discharge of UP0100 study participants after the 6-hour postdose assessments. Edits were made to clarify removal of the 12-hour time point for assessment of vital signs, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), and sedation/sleepiness (by visual analog scale [VAS]) from the Schedule of Assessments and other applicable sections of the protocol.
