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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the trial is to test whether the preventive use of apixaban 2.5 mg can significantly reduce the incidence of clinically relevant leg vein thrombosis during long-haul flights.
    Primäres Ziel der Studie ist es zu testen, ob die präventive Einnahme von Apixaban 2,5 mg das Auftreten klinisch relevanter Beinvenenthrombosen im Rahmen von Langstreckenflügen signifikant reduzieren kann.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondarily, it is tested whether preventive use of apixaban 2.5 mg can significantly reduce the incidence of clinically relevant and non-relevant leg vein thrombosis in the context of long-haul flights. In addition, the safety profile of apixaban will be investigated in the context of its use as drug thromboprophylaxis in the context of long-haul flights, specifically the occurrence of any bleeding (BARC ≥ 1), which is mapped as a safety endpoint in the study.
    Sekundär wird getestet, ob die präventive Einnahme von Apixaban 2,5 mg das Auftreten klinisch relevanter und nicht relevanter Beinvenenthrombosen im Rahmen von Langstreckenflügen signifikant reduzieren kann. Klinisch nicht relevante Beinvenenthrombosen, auch als inapparent bezeichnet, sind dabei jene Beinvenenthrombosen, die vollständig asymptomatisch verlaufen und lediglich sonographisch nachgewiesen werden können.
