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   44334   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the activity of Everolimus in patients with advanced or recurrent thymoma or thymic carcinoma by the determination of disease control rate (DCR), considered as complete response (CR) plus partial response (PR) plus stable disease (SD).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Therapies considered necessary for patients' well being were given at the discretion of the Investigator, i.e chronic treatment for concomitant medical conditions, as well as agents required for life-threatening medical problems.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Patients with pathologically confirmed, advanced (ie, unresectable or metastatic) thymoma (T) or thymic carcinoma (TC) were eligible after failure of at least one previous line of platinum-based chemotherapy. 51 patients were enrolled between 17 February 2011 and 21 October 2013. One patient decided to leave the study before starting the treatment.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: A total of 51 patients were initially enrolled but one patient decided to leave the study before starting the treatment. Then 50 patients were treated and considered in the analysis.

    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: A Disease Control Rate (CR, PR or SD) ≤40% was considered clinically irrelevant whereas a proportion ≥ 60% was assumed to be of potential interest. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
