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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.

    Primary: Overall Survival (OS)

    Close Top of page
    End point title
    Overall Survival (OS) [1]
    End point description
    The study used the six-month survival as the Primary Endpoint. Patients who were still living six months after the last patient has been enrolled were to be censored for the analyses, using the number of days between enrolment and the date of their last follow-up as their overall survival measurement. The first stage of the study was to recruit 12 patients and if at least 7 met the survival criteria, a further 20 patients were to be enrolled. 9 patients were recruited to the first stage and 7 of them did not meet the overall survival criteria. Recruitment to the first stage was stopped to further accrual as the study primary outcome survival measure could no longer be met. Survival Analysis was therefore not carried out due to small numbers.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Overall survival will be defined as the interval between the date of first dose of study drug and the date of death.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Patients who were still living six months after the last patient has been enrolled were to be censored for the analyses, using the number of days between enrolment and the date of last follow-up. 7 out of the 9 patients recruited to the first stage did not meet this survival criteria. Recruitment to the first stage was stopped to further accrual as the study primary outcome survival measure could no longer be met. Survival Analysis was therefore not carried out due to small numbers.
