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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    - Tumours to be injected lying in mucosal regions or close to an airway, major blood vessel or spinal cord that, in the opinion of the Investigators, could cause occlusion or compression in the case of tumour swelling or erosion into a major vessel in the case of necrosis.
    - Pregnancy, lactation or lack of effective contraception in women of child-bearing potential; lack of effective contraception in men if the partner is of child-bearing potential; women must have been practising an effective contraceptive method for at least three months prior to entry in to the trial (hormonal contraception or intrauterine device in conjunction with a barrier method OR surgically sterilised). Men must use a condom or be surgically sterilised.

Patients with up to 3 asymptomatic (neurological performance status of 0) cerebral metastases may be enrolled, provided that all lesions have been adequately treated with stereotactic radiation therapy or gammaknife therapy, with no evidence of progression, and have not required steroids or anticonvulsant therapy, for at least two months prior to treatment with OncoVEX GM-CSF . Patients with up to 5 liver metastases may be enrolled, provided that no more than 1 lesion is >5 cm, and that the lesions are asymptomatic, meet RECIST criteria for SD for at least 1 month prior to the first dose of OncoVEX GM-CSF, ALT and AST are <2 times the ULN, bilirubin <1.5 mg/dL, ECOG score of 0-1, and there are no concurrent brain lesions.
    - Treatment with antiviral agents within the 14 days prior to entry to the trial.
    - Uncontrolled congestive cardiac failure.
    - Clinically active autoimmune disease.
    - Dermatoses involving or near to the tumours to be injected. Limb tumours may not be injected if active dermatoses are present on the same limb. Trunk and head and neck tumours must not be injected if dermatoses are present within 50 cm of the tumour.
    - Known to test positive for HIV, hepatitis B or C or syphilis.
    - Patient only has injectable tumours that are not potentially resectable in the case of tumour necrosis or swelling.
    - Previous history of malignancies of other types that have occurred or recurred within the previous 5 years with the exception of cone biopsied carcinoma of the cervix.
    - Corticosteroid use. Corticosteroids may be used acutely during the study as part of standard anti-emetic protocols.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
