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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    Overall survival
    Tumour response rate (liver ± any site)
    Hepatic and extra-hepatic recurrence rate
    Quality of life
    Toxicity and Safety

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Willing and able to provide written informed consent.
    - Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum,with or without primary tumour in situ
    - Unequivocal and measurable CT evidence of liver metastases which are not treatable by surgical resection or local ablation with curative intent at the time of trial entry
    - Limited extra-hepatic metastases in the lung and/or lymph nodes are permitted. Metastases in the lung must either be not more than five nodules in number with no nodule more than 1 cm in diameter or 1 lesion of up to 1.7cm in diameter. Involvement of lymph nodes in 1 anatomic region (pelvis, abdomen or chest) are permitted provided their longest diameter measures less than 2 cm.
    - Suitable for either treatment regimen as determined by clinical assessment undertaken by the Investigator.
    - All imaging evidence used as part of the screening process must be within 28 days prior to the time of randomisation
    - Prior chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer is not allowed. Patients may have received adjuvant chemotherapy or (neo-) adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy to the pelvis, provided the last dose of chemotherapy was administered at least 6 months prior to entry into this study. Radiotherapy to the pelvis is not an exclusion criterion
    - WHO performance status 0 - 1
    - Adequate haematological, renal and hepatic function as follows:
    Haematological: Neutrophils >1.5 x 10^9/L
    Platelets >100 x 10^9/L
    Renal: Creatinine <1.5 x ULN
    Hepatic: Billirubin <=30 µmol/L
    Albumin >=30 g/L
    The date of blood tests must be within 28 days prior to the time of randomisation
    - Aged 18 years or older.
    - Female patients must either be postmenopausal, sterile (surgically or radiation- or chemically-induced), or if sexually active using an acceptable method of contraception.
    - Male patients must be surgically sterile or if sexually active and having a pre-menopausal partner must be using an acceptable method of contraception.
    - Life expectancy of at least 3 months without any active treatment.

    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Evidence of ascites, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, main portal venous tumour involvement or thrombosis as determined by clinical or radiologic assessment.
    - Previous radiotherapy delivered to the upper abdomen.
    - Non-malignant disease that would render the patient unsuitable for treatment according to this protocol.
    - Peripheral neuropathy > grade 1 (NCI-CTCv3).
    - Dose-limiting toxicity associated with previous adjuvant 5-FU or oxaliplatin chemotherapy.
    - Previous chemotherapy for any malignancy. Adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer is not an exclusion criteria provided that it was completed more than 6 months before the documentation of metastatic disease.
    - Pregnant or breast feeding.
    - Concurrent or prior history of cancer other than adequately treated non melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
    - Allergy to non-ionic contrast agents
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary outcome of this study is progression free survival.
    Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time interval between randomisation and the date of tumour progression. Tumour progression in the liver is determined from serial CT scans. Diagnosis of tumour recurrence (progression of disease) should be made by using RECIST Criteria.
    The documented date of recurrence will be the date of confirmation of the recurrence. At the time of recurrence, the investigator should clearly indicate the site of tumour recurrence (hepatic or extra-hepatic).
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    End of Trial
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Patients will be followed until death and treatment arms compared by assessment of:
    Progression free survival in the liver
    Overall survival
    Tumour response rate (liver ± any site)
    Hepatic and extra-hepatic recurrence rate
    Quality of life
    Liver resection rate
