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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 ).

    Objective Response Rate
    End point description
    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST criteria. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease, with the exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must have decreased to normal (short axis <10 millimetres [mm]). No new lesions. PR was defined as at least 30 percent decrease under baseline of the sum of diametres of all target lesions. The short axis was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diametre was used in the sum for all other target lesions. ITT population included all participants who had received at least one dose of the study medication.

    Best Overall Response Rate
    End point description
    Best overall response was defined as the percentage of participants with CR + PR + stable disease (SD) per RECIST criteria. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease, with the exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must have decreased to normal (short axis <10 millimetres [mm]). No new lesions. PR was defined as at least 30 percent decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. The short axis was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. ITT population included all participants who had received at least one dose of the study medication.

    Duration of overall response was defined as the time from first documented objective response (CR or PR), whichever status was recorded first until the first date on which recurrence or PD was objectively documented. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease, with the exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must have decreased to normal (short axis <10 millimetres [mm]). No new lesions. PR was defined as at least 30 percent decrease under baseline of the sum of diametres of all target lesions.

    Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)
    End point description
    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events. Safety population included all participants who received at least one dose of the study medication and had at least one safety follow-up, regardless whether the trial medication was prematurely withdrawn or not.

    Date
    Amendment
    15 Dec 2008
    For clarity the term “bi-weekly” was replaced by the term “once every 2 weeks” in the dosing regimen. During the treatment phase response evaluation, including surgical evaluation, was performed according to RECIST criteria every 8 weeks. Criteria that should lead to discontinuation or early termination of the study were described in more detail.
    12 Sep 2013
    The sections of the study protocol about early study termination were amended.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    20 Feb 2014
    The study was terminated prematurely. because the results of the study could not be published before completion of the follow-up of two remaining participants in the study. All other participants had completed their survival follow-up, died, or were lost to follow-up for unknown reason. The last 2 participants had completed their treatment phase and safety follow-up at week 4 following the last administration of bevacizumab. The remaining visits of the survival follow-up of these two participants were cancelled due to study termination.
