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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    Title:CLINICAL PHARMACOGENOMICS SUPPLEMENT Sorafenib as adjuvant treatment after curative resection/local ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma
    Objectives:The primary objective of this additional research component is to allow for the use of plasma samples already collected for other, non-genomic biomarker studies in Study 12414 to investigate possible associations between epigenetic, genetic or genomic variation in relation to response to sorafenib. Scientific information about these differences among groups of subjects can help researchers to better understand the response of subjects to sorafenib.

    Titolo:SUPPLEMENTO DI FARMACOGENOMICA CLINICA Sorafenib come trattamento adiuvante in seguito a resezione/ablazione locale curativa per l`epatocarcinoma
    Obiettivi:L`obiettivo principale di questa integrazione della ricerca e' quello di consentire l`impiego dei campioni plasmatici gia' prelevati per altri studi su biomarker non genomici nello Studio 12414 per studiare le possibili associazioni tra la variazione epigenetica, genetica o genomica in relazione alla risposta al sorafenib. Le informazioni scientifiche su queste differenze tra i gruppi di pazienti possono aiutare i ricercatori a comprendere meglio la risposta dei pazienti al sorafenib.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy endpoint is Recurrence Free Survival based on independent review; if the analysis based on Recurrence Free Survival is positive, then the efficacy of Sorafenib as adjuvant therapy of HCC is considered established.
    L'endpoint di efficacia primario e' la Sopravvivenza senza ricorrenza basata sulla revisione indipendente; se l'analisi basata sulla Sopravvivenza senza ricorrenza e' positiva, allora l'efficacia di Sorafenib come terapia adiuvante dell'epatocarcinoma si considera accertata.
