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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 whether post-operative adjuvant therapy with peginterferon alfa-2b improves relapse-free survival (RFS) as compared to observation.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety data were reviewed within the EORTC Headquarters on a regular basis as part of the Medical Review process. Safety information was included in trial status reports which served as a basis of discussion during EORTC Group meetings.
    Background therapy
    Before randomization, patients underwent a resection of ulcerated primary cutaneous melanoma. 1 to 2 cm normal tissue excision margins according to Breslow thickness were recommended.
    Evidence for comparator
    Observation was used as comparator. No effective adjuvant treatments were available at the time of the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study intended to randomize 1200 patients. It was expected that 1200 patients would be randomized in 4.125 years from the accrual of the first patient. In total, 112 patients had been randomized by January 2017. Due to the low accrual, the recruitment was terminated at that time.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Main eligibility criteria: Age: 18-70 years Complete resection of ulcerated primary cutaneous melanoma stage T(2-4)bN0M0 SLN biopsy mandatory No evidence of lymph node involvement or satellite / in-transit metastases ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 Adequate hepatic, renal and bone marrow function No active autoimmune disease

    Relapse-free survival
    End point description
    Relapse-free survival was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first relapse (local, regional, distant metastasis) or death (whatever the cause), whichever occurs first. For subjects who remained alive and whose disease has not recurred, RFS was censored on the date of last visit.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Originally planned after reaching 330 RFS events. The accrual was stopped prematurepy due to the low accrual rate. The analysis was performed when all patients had finished the protocol treatment.
