EudraCT

Application for an 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.
• Security 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.
