I thought I would share the news that from today, the general public can now search the EU Clinical Trials Register. Here is the first paragraph from the official announcement:

The database also allows the public to search for information on clinical trials authorised to be carried out outside the EU if these trials are part of a paediatric investigation plan.

Here is the link to the Register:

It could come in useful for reference purposes - in fact between all of us we have probably translated many of these clinical trial protocols ourselves! ▲ Collapse

Thanks Emma, it has been added to my favourites!
| | | | | Thanks and problems with their PDFs | Mar 23, 2011 |
Thank you Emma.
I paid a visit to this site and, by curiosity, I clicked on the "Glossary".
Today, this PDF does not open. Same problem with the "FAQs" PDF. I alerted the webmaster this evening.
Have a nice evening

Hi,
As I told you yesterday evening, I alerted the EMA about the impossibility to download their PDF files.
They are very fast at the EMA : I found a reply early this morning.
It appears that their site is supported only by IE 6 to 8 !!
Here is a copy of their message, with my reply below :
Dear Catherine GUILLIAUMET,
This is the update to your call/request: 99854.

My reply (of this morning)
Dear K.,
Thank you for your so fast answer.
I'll forward this indication to all the professional fora and mailing-lists I'm managing and/or subscribing.
Maybe your webmaster should be aware that a very significant number of professionals are using Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Moreover, IE 9 is born, while IE6 is no more supported by Microsoft (and most official sites).
I know, it's not easy to fulfil every users's expectations.
Thanks again.
Have a nice day
Best wishes
So, remember, you must use IE 6 to 8 if you want full access to this site !
This story moral : A good idea can be ruined by technical inefficiency ! Yes, it is possible, even in 2011, and in an international administration ▲ Collapse

Hi Catherine,
I use IE8, which explains why I didn't have any problems exploring this new resource.
Thanks for letting us know what the problem was, and I hope EMA solves this soon.
Regards,
Emma

Thanks for letting us know, Emma.
BTW I'm using Firefox and the CT searches are working fine - I haven't tried downloading anything though.

| Very good to know! | Mar 24, 2011 |
Thank you for sharing this info, Emma, it's very much appreciated.
As for browser compatibility issues, both Firefox and Safari work fine, including pdf downloads. Obviously, I'm using a Mac...
| | | | | Thank you Emma! and thank you EMA! | Mar 24, 2011 |
This is a very useful link!
EMA is really amazingly fast. I contacted them once by e-mail regarding some problems with the greek translation of a certain file. A very polite person CALLED me some hours later and we discussed the possible corrections!
