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

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine the compliance and safety of epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide or CMF (EC/CMF) and nab-paclitaxel in combination with capecitabine (nPX)
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial protocol including amendments, the patient information and the informed consent were reviewed and approved from a properly constituted IRB/IEC for each site prior to the study start. The trial was in compliance with the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) - Harmonized Tripartite Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) (E6), and the Commission Directives in the European Community as well as with the applicable German national laws and regulations, and with Declaration of Helsinki and its revisions in all aspects of preparation, monitoring, reporting, auditing, and archiving.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    11 Jun 2010
    The trial protocol was amended once: After 78 patients had been recruited supply of nab-paclitaxel was stopped because of impurities in the drug vials in one German center. At 1st of April 2010 the BfArM issued a temporary suspension of the clinical trial authorization and requested corrective actions from the sponsor and the working supply with nab-Paclitaxel as inevitable for re-initiation of the trial. There was a period of nine months without nab-paclitaxel and patients under treatment received paclitaxel instead. Recruitment was stopped for this period. In its meeting on June 30, 2010 the IDMC recommended that analysis should be performed with and without complete nab-paclitaxel. The provision of the complete nab-Paclitaxel medication required for the entire treatment duration was made mandatory for the start of any new patient via Amendment 1, which also included the introduction of two additional geriatric scores (IADL and G8 score), resulting from a request of the IDMC.
