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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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
    The primary objective of this study is to establish the objective response rate (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) following treatment with VELCADE in combination with cisplatin plus gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced Stage IIIb not amenable to curative treatment or metastatic (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior antineoplastic therapy for advanced disease.

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) [1]
    End point description
    Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage (%) of patients that achieved Complete response (CR) or Partial response (PR) to the treatment, as measured by RECIST 1.1 CRITERIA. ORR= (CR+PR)/total number of patients, expressed as % percentage.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The 2 step Simon's design that yields a type I error rate of 0.05 and power of 80% when the true overall response rate is 40% was used. The null hypothesis will be rejected if 12 or more responses are observed in 43 evaluable pts. This is an one arm trial that compares ORR with bibliographic data. The system does keeps asking for comparison group.
