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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To show that the vinflunine plus gemcitabine test arm is non inferior to the paclitaxel plus gemcitabine control arm in terms of progression-free survival. If non inferiority is claimed after this first test, a second test will be performed in order to show that the vinflunine plus gemcitabine arm is superior to the paclitaxel plus gemcitabine arm in terms of progression-free survival.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To compare between the 2 treatment arms:
    - the tumour response rate,
    - the duration of response, duration of disease control, time to treatment failure and time to first response,
    - the overall survical,
    - the safety profile,
    - the health-related quality of life through a QOL questionnaire.

    - Patient having received any other experimental or anti-cancer therapy within 30 days before randomisation, except hormone therapy

    - Patient having as the sole tumour lesion, any of the following: malignant effusion, lymphangitis, cystic lesion, bone lesion and any other lesion that is not assessed by imaging techniques or colour photography.
    - Patient with pre-existing motor or sensory peripheral neuropathy of CTCAE version 3.0 grade >1.
