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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 main objectives of the study were to provide Herceptin IV to subjects with HER2-overexpressing disease following completion of any global Roche sponsored Herceptin study; to follow long-term outcomes in subjects who were being treated with Herceptin IV; and to follow long-term overall safety with Herceptin.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All subjects were required to read and sign an Informed Consent Form.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    12 Aug 1998
    The protocol was updated to reflect a change from subjects with HER2-overexpressing breast cancer to subjects with HER2-overexpressing tumours as a result of the expansion of the development program for Herceptin; and no further chemotherapy was allowed to be taken concomitantly with Herceptin.
    18 Oct 2000
    The protocol was updated with all product-related information according to the Summary of Product Characteristics as a result of the approval of Herceptin in August 2000 by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products, including the possibility for subjects to receive paclitaxel in combination with Herceptin; participation in the study was limited to subjects with breast cancer; the dosing regimen was updated to include details for subjects who were receiving Herceptin IV in the lead-in protocol and subjects who were not previously treated with Herceptin IV.
    12 Feb 2007
    The protocol was updated as follows: subjects from all global Roche-sponsored Herceptin trial (all indications) were able to enroll into the study and would be provided with Herceptin even if it was commercially available in their country; subjects could continue treatment with the same anticancer drugs, at the same dose and schedule, they received in the lead-in protocol, as long as the treatment was still ongoing at the completion of the lead-in protocol and was still considered beneficial for the subject; the informed consent form was amended to include safety information relating to possible effects on reproduction or fetal development, risks and side effects, and the addition of regular heart function monitoring; the case report form (CRF) was changed to include date of visit, date of birth, and concomitant cancer treatments; left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) values were to be collected; the study completion page of the CRF was changed; the study completion date was replaced by date of last dose, date of progression, and date of death; the units of initial dose was changed from mg/kg to mg.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Age data were only collected for 22 subjects aged 18−64 yrs. and 10 subjects aged 65−84 yrs. Gender data were not collected. To submit results, additional estimated data were entered in the “Trial Information” and “Gender” sections.
