EU Trials Register Now Holds Data on Over 50k Studies
Information about more than 50,000 clinical trials is now available on the European Union (EU) Clinical Trials Register.
The register contains data on 31,456 current trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which 5,048 are clinical trials conducted on subjects of less than 18 years of age. It also presents details about 18,700 older pediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).
The register, which covers studies that started after May 1, 2004 allows users to search for protocol and results information on both interventional clinical trials that are conducted in the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA), as well as clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European pediatric medicine development.
It also maintains a list of patient/consumer organizations who may be able provide information on clinical trials within various disease areas. These are organizations that regularly work with the European Medicines Agency.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
