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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    1) Tumour biopsy substudy - patients who have metastatic disease that is readily accessible for a biopsy sample to be taken without significant risks may optionally consent for a further histology sample to be taken. Gene expression profiling on this sample will be compared to gene expression profiling on the original (diagnostic) sample
    2) PET and MRI substudies - patients in selected centres can optionally consent to having PET (positron emission tomography) and MRI scans performed before, during and after treatment

    8) Adequate bone marrow function, renal function and hepatic function
    9) Metastatic disease refractory to standard chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin containing regimens, or intolerant of standard chemotherapy, or other patient factors why standard treatment cannot be given
    10) Age 18 years or older
    11) Patients must be willing to undertake appropriate contraceptive methods or remain sexually abstinent for the duration of study treatment and for at least three months after receiving the last dose of chemotherapy
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1) Previous treatment with methotrexate, either for malignant or non-malignant disease, except when methotrexate was given as a chemomodulator with 5-fluorouracil for colorectal cancer in the adjuvant setting
    2) Concomitant uncontrolled medical conditions
    3) Concomitant metastatic malignancy apart from non-melanotic skin cancers and carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix in the last 10 years

    4) Pregnant or breast feeding
    5) Medical or psychiatric conditions impairing ability to give informed consent
    6) Any contraindication to treatment with methotrexate
    7) Prior radiotherapy to a lesion that will be used as a marker lesion to assess disease response, unless there has been evidence of clear documented progression of that lesion since radiotherapy

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint will be the objective response rate to treatment (ORR) (to include radiological evidence of confirmed complete response and partial response), as defined by RECIST criteria on CT scans.
