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   43861   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The study aims to ascertain whether 3 months of treatment for colorectal cancer is as efficacious as 6 months with the further aim of providing robust evidence on the cost effictiveness of reducing the toxicity of adjuvant therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients on both study arms received standard chemotherapy agents with standard schedules. The difference is in the duration of treatments - 24 weeks on the standard (control) arm and 12 weeks on the experimental arm. The study therefore posed no risk in terms of increased toxicity for patients as the experimental arm reduced exposure to the chemotherapy. The difference between the study arms was however monitored annually by an IDMC both in terms of toxicity and efficacy,

    Evidence for comparator
    Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide, with 1,360,000 cases occurring annually, and is the fifth most common cause of death from cancer, causing 694 000 deaths.(1) Postoperative adjuvant fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy was first shown to improve outcomes for patients with stage III colon cancer by Moertel and colleagues.(2) The addition of oxaliplatin to a fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy backbone produced additional benefit,(3, 4, 5) and oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy is a recommended adjuvant treatment for stage III colon cancer.(6, 7). The current standard duration of adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer is 6 months. 1.Ferlay J Soerjomataram I Ervik M et al.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients were recruited from 244 centres in six countries (the UK, Denmark, Spain, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand) between March 27, 2008, and Nov 29, 2013

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    For a period in the study some UK centres (selected at random) registered patients onto the study before they started treated treatment. Patients were then invited to be randomised at 3 months to continue to 6 months of treatment or stop at that point. 215 were recruited via this route of whom 156 were subsequently randomised.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Some randomly selected centres in the UK recruited patients to the study prior to treatment starting and patients were then invited to be randomised after 3 months of treatment. 215 patients were recruited in this way of whom 159 were randomised. All other patients were randomised prior to treatment starting. Only randomised patients were used in the comparison of the study arms in the baseline period, for efficacy end-points and safety. All patients are reported in worldwide recruitment.
