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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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
    The main objective of the trial was to evaluate the efficacy of everolimus as monotherapy in patients with non-syndromic NETs. Efficacy is defined as the proportion of patients with a complete (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST criteria
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial

    Primary: Percentage of participants' Best Overall Response Rate - Per Protocol Set (PP)

    Close Top of page
    End point title
    Percentage of participants' Best Overall Response Rate - Per Protocol Set (PP) [1]
    End point description
    Overall response rate (ORR) was based on RECIST central assessment and defined as the percentage of patients with best overall response (BOR) of a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). The BOR was calculated on basis of the tumor of overall lesion response evaluated at each visit. To be assigned a status of PR or CR, changes in tumor measurements had to be confirmed by repeat assessments obtained within 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met. Assessments was based on RECIST criteria 1.0. Measurable disease lesions had to be accurately measured in at least one dimension with longest diameter ≥ 20 mm using conventional techniques or ≥ 10 mm with spiral CT scan (with minimum lesion size no less than double the slice thickness). PR required at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameters. CR required disappearance of all target and non-target lesions.

    Overall Response Rate (ORR) was calculated for total PP population based on central review as confirmatory, primary analysis as well as for ITT population as sensitivity analysis. It was presented with relative frequencies and the exact 2-sided 80% confidence limit (CL; computed using the Clopper-Pearson method). If the lower limit of the CI did not include p0=5%, the hypothesis that p ≤ 5% was rejected. The primary analysis was based on the PP Set
