Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This trial will evaluate the worth of ovarian function suppression (achieved by either long-term use of GnRH analogue or surgical oophorectomy or ovarian irradiation) plus tamoxifen compared with tamoxifen alone for premenopausal women with steroid hormone receptor positive early invasive breast cancer who either receive no adjuvant chemotherapy or remain premenopausal following adjuvant and/or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In addition, the worth of exemestane will be evaluated for this premenopausal patient population by comparing ovarian function suppression plus exemestane with tamoxifen alone and by comparing ovarian function suppression plus exemestane with ovarian function suppression plus tamoxifen.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In compliance with GDPR. Adverse events were reported and in case of adverse events and treatment-related toxicities management guidance was provided in the study protocol to treat trial subjects in adequately manner. The safety of the trial treatment was regularly reviewed by the IBCSG Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC).

    1. Modifiedthe statistical analysis plan to compare: a. OFS + tamoxifen versus tamoxifen alone for a primary analysis with a data cut-off anticipated for the third quarterof 2013 at a median follow-up of at least 5 years. b. OFS + exemestane versus OFS + tamoxifen in the originally-planned combined analysis of SOFT and TEXT with a data cut-off anticipated for the fall of 2013 at a median follow-up of approximately 5 years in the SOFT population. 2. Includedbreast cancer-free interval (BCFI) and distant recurrence-free interval (DRFI) assecondary endpoints replacing systemic disease-free survival. 3. Added targeted adverse event information on diabetes and collection of anti-diabetic concomitant medications. Increased risk of diabetes has been suggested by epidemiologicstudies in men being treated with GnRH agonists for prostate cancer. Glucose intolerance (diabetes) and hyperglycemia wereadded to the case report forms as targetedadverse events.
