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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of oxaliplatin and fluorouracil when given together with cetuximab and radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage II or stage III esophageal cancer. Definition of the maximal tolerated dose for the combination of Cetuximab plus Oxaliplatin combined with concurrent radiation as neoadjuvant treatment. Primary •Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oxaliplatin and fluorouracil when administered with cetuximab and radiotherapy in patients with stage II or III squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. (Phase I) •Determine the response rate in patients treated with this regimen. (Phase II)
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance the ethical principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP). Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. The study was regularly monitored by the Sponsor and all investigators connected to the study were GCP trained.
    Background therapy
    Standard of care. Concomitant medication and supportive therapy were carried out according to standard clinical guidelines and at the judgement of the investigators. For a maximum of six 29-day cycles, patients received cisplatin (IMP No. 1) 100 mg/m2, day 1, plus 5-FU 1000 mg/m2, days 1–5 (CF), either alone or in combination with cetuximab (IMP No. 2) (CET–CF; 400 mg/m2 initial dose followed by 250 mg/m2 weekly thereafter). So all patient recieved for a maximum of six 29-day cycles, 5-FU 1000 mg/m2, days 1–5 (CF).
