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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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
    Antitumor activity defined as response rate according to RECIST criteria
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was performed in compliance with Good Clinical Practices (CPMP/ICH/135/95), and the essential documents are archived as required by the applicable regulatory requirements. The study and any amendments were reviewed by an Independent Ethics Committees or Institutional Review Boards.
    Background therapy
    Patients affected by advanced or metastatic ovarian cancer previously treated with platinum regimens (cis or carboplatin) plus paclitaxel and with documented progression disease within 6 months from last chemotherapy administered (refractory/resistant population) or in progression disease after 6 months from last chemotherapy (platinum regimens plus paclitaxel) administered.

    End point title
    Response rate (RR) [1]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint of the study was antitumor activity defined as response rate according to RECIST criteria. Response rate was defined as the percentage of patients having as best response throughout the study a CR or a PR: (CR + PR)/n. of patients in ENR population.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    The response rate was measured during the whole study.
    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 study was conducted using Simon’s two-stage design method for the primary efficacy end point. Since 7 responses (complete or partial) were observed among the 37 patients, the study was to be considered to have a positive result.
