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   43845   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.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    -Primary endpoint
    • Hematological improvement (HI) according to IWG 2006 criteria
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Hematological improvement (HI) will be assessed on day 1 of every cycle starting form day 1 of cycle 2.
    HI will be assessed for each cell line. Dependent on the relevant pre-treatment parameter e.g. Hb, platelet count or ANC, HI will be assessed and responses must last at least for 8 weeks.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary endpoints
    • Adverse events of CTCAE ≥ grade 2 (see appendix E)
    • Time-to-HI and duration-of-HI (i.e. time from HI to relapse after HI or death from any cause)
    • Number of given treatment cycles per patient, and especially for arm B the number of patients receiving Epo and/or G-CSF
    • Response rate (in terms of CR, PR, including cytogenetic response according to the modified response criteria of the IWG for MDS [40], appendix C)
    • Progression-free-survival, i.e. time from registration to relapse, disease progression (as defined in appendix C) or death from any cause
    • Leukemic evolution. The risk of leukemic evolution will be calculated with competing risk death without previous evolution
    • Number of transfusions of red blood cells and duration of RBC transfusion independence

    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Hematological improvement (HI) will be assessed on day 1 of every cycle starting form day 1 of cycle 2.
    Disease and cytogenetic response should be assessed at month 6 and 12 or at any indication (e.g. off treatment or (signs of) progressive disease).
