Search clinical trials authorised in the EU/EEA under Regulation 536/2014, from the EU Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS). Filter by medicine or active substance, medical condition, sponsor, trial status, phase, member state, age group, sex, results availability and start date. Returns trial number, title, status, sponsor, phase, conditions, products, per-country status, enrolment and primary endpoint. Answers questions such as which European trials are recruiting for a drug, who sponsors them and which member states they run in.
