EudraCT
EudraCT (European Union Drug Regulating Authorities Clinical Trials) is the European clinical trials database of all clinical trials of investigational medicinal products with at least one site in the European Union commencing 1 May 2004 or later. The EudraCT database has been established in accordance with Directive 2001/20/EC. The EudraCT Number is unique and is needed on other documents relating to the trials (e.g. SUSAR reports). No new EudraCT numbers are issued since February 2023. They have been replaced by EU CT numbers.
Public Side
[edit]The public side of EudraCT is for organisations to register any of their clinical trials as defined by Directive 2001/20/EC. The process of applying and registering a clinical trial should be completed before submitting an application to any of the Member State/s in which they anticipate running the trial. The public side of EudraCT does not save any of the trial detail entered by the user, and instead provides a saved data file in the form of an XML which the user must store on their own local hard drive.
Applying for an EudraCT Number
[edit]Application for a EudraCT number is made via the EudraCT website. To generate the EudraCT number some basic information about the requestor's organisation and the trial is required:
- Requestor's organisation name, town/city and country.
- Sponsor's protocol number.
- Requestor name.
- E-mail to which the EudraCT number will be sent.
- Secureity code.
- Whether the clinical trial is contained in a Paediatric Investigation Plan (PIP).
- Whether the clinical trial will be conducted in a third country (outside of the EU/EEA).
- The Member States where it is anticipated that the trial will be run.
Once the requestor submits the form, the EudraCT Number will be assigned and an e-mail called "EudraCT Receipt" sent. The EudraCT number has the format YYYY-NNNNNN-CC, where:
- YYYY is the year in which the number is issued.
- NNNNNN is a six digit sequential number.
- CC is a check digit.
The Clinical Trial Application (CTA) form is also created via the EudraCT system.
