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
    To determine Overall Response Rate (ORR) (expressed as complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) in Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) subjects treated with MabThera plus chemotherapy. The percentage of subjects who achieve CR/ unconfirmed complete (CRu) or PR while on rituximab induction therapy will be assessed.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All study subjects were required to read and sign an Informed Consent Form.

    Primary: Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    End point title
    Overall Response Rate (ORR) [1]
    End point description
    Overall Response Rate (ORR) was determined by tumor response according to International Workshop Group to Standardize Response Criteria for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) criteria from confirmed evaluations of both target, radiographically evaluated, and non-target lesions. A responder is defined as a subject experiencing either a complete (CR)/ unconfirmed complete (Cru), or partial response (PR) by these criteria. As per criteria; CR = disappearance of all evidence of disease; CRu = the sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) of multiple nodes decreased by at least 75%; PR = regression of measurable disease and no new sites. Efficacy population included all the subjects who had received at least one dose of study treatment.

    Progression-free Survival (PFS)
    End point description
    PFS is defined as the interval between the day of enrollment and the first documentation of progressive disease or death. Progression of disease is defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. Efficacy population included all the subjects who had received at least one dose of study treatment.
