Minister of State at the Department of Health

As Roaccutane is not authorised in Ireland for the treatment of cancer, no data is available to the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA).

However if the Deputy is interested in reviewing international clinical trials data the two best websites are clinicaltrialsregister.eu and clinicaltrials.gov
