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   44043   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7319   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.

    7. Biochemical progression of prostate cancer, documented while the patient is castrate, by a rise in PSA that meets any one or more of the following criteria:
    Biochemical progression criterion 1:
    A second PSA value higher than a first PSA (reference) value. To be followed by a third PSA value higher than the second value.
    - 2 weeks minimum time interval between sampling
    - All samples must have been taken within a 6-month period of randomisation to the study
    - All PSA values must be superior or equal to 5 ng/mL
    Biochemical progression criterion 2:
    A second PSA value higher than a first PSA (reference) value. Followed by a third PSA value lower than the second, but with a fourth PSA value higher than the second.
    - 2 weeks minimum time interval between sampling
    - All samples must have been taken within a 6-month period of randomisation to the study
    - All PSA values must be superior or equal to 5 ng/mL
    Biochemical progression criterion 3:

    - 2 weeks minimum time interval between sampling
    - All samples must have been taken within a 6-month period of randomisation to the study
    - All PSA values must be superior or equal to 5 ng/mL
    Historical values may be used if they have been obtained from the same laboratory using the same PSA assay.

    21. Have received investigational drug in another clinical study of anti-cancer therapy, within 4 weeks prior to consenting to this study. Please note restriction number 1 on bisphosphonates (see Section 3.3.4 in the protocol).
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint for this study is defined as time to progression (TTP). The endpoint is in fact a composite of objective and clinical measures of disease progression. This reflects the difficulty encountered in clinical practice of determining objective progression of prostate cancer metastatic to bone. However it is anticipated that the endpoint will provide data on the impact of study drug on disease progression as reflected by routine clinical management of the disease.
