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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 11 patients were included between March 2011 and August 2013 in several centers in Brussels. In Luxembourg, no patient was included. The eleventh patient was included on August 23, 2013, only this patient was not included in the analyzes. Ten patients can be analyzed after a median follow-up of 10.6 months.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All patients had given written informed consent prior to any study-specific examination or procedure. Patients were evaluated within 28 days of the first administration of the study treatment. However, hematology and blood chemistry tests (including creatinine clearance) have been carried out within 7 days of the first day of treatment.

    To determine the tolerability of VPA in combination with low dose CdA in patients with advanced B- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia [1]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint was defined as the rate of patients developing toxicities during combination therapy with valproic acid and low dose CdA2-chlorodeoxyadenosine.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    After 7 months of treatment
    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: The primary endpoint for sample size estimation has been defined as the rate of patients developing toxicities under the combined treatment. A two-stages Simon design was used. In the first step, 10 patients needed to be included. If strictly less than 6 patients are free of toxicity, the trial would be stopped prematurely. Otherwise, the study would go on until 33 patients will have been treated by the combination.
