European Medicines Agency launches database of clinical studies in children completed before 2007

The European Medicines Agency (EMA), in October 2011, published a new database containing information on studies of medicines authorised in the European Union that were carried out in children and completed before the Paediatric Regulation came into force in 2007.

The Article 45 paediatric studies database allows users to search for information on the studies’ names and aims, the medicines studied and the ages of patients included. For a subset of studies, documents summarising the study’s results are also available.
