Clinical trials

Clinical trials of medicinal products are an important part of the medicinal product development process, enabling the safety and efficacy of investigational medicinal products in humans to be assessed.

In the European Union (EU), the conduct of clinical trials of medicinal products is governed by Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on clinical trials on medicinal products for human use, and repealing Directive 2001/20/EC (hereinafter – the Regulation), which became applicable on 31 January 2022. The Regulation establishes harmonised rules for the submission and assessment of clinical trial applications, authorisation, conduct and supervision of clinical trials in the EU and European Economic Area (EEA) countries. As of 31 January 2025, all ongoing clinical trials in the EU and EEA must comply with the requirements of the Regulation.

Publishing of the Results of Clinical Trials:

One of the key objectives of the Regulation is to ensure the transparency of clinical trial data. Therefore, clinical trial sponsors are required to submit the results of completed clinical trials in CTIS in a timely manner: within one year of the end of the clinical trial in the EU, or within six months where the clinical trial involves paediatric patients.
