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.

The event will be counted on the day of 2nd paracentesis

    • Decrease of the incidence of intestinal obstruction with the indication of surgery or parenteral nutrition (> 14 days, > 70% of calorie intake) from to 40% (estimated value from literature and local database) to 20 % within 9 months after first Catumaxomab therapy

    • Decrease of the incidence of ECOG deterioration from ECOG 1 or 2 to ECOG 3 in within 9 months after first Catumaxomab therapy

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Symptom- and progression free survival, defined by the primary end-points:

    • Incidence of clinically significant malignant ascites (defined by one paracentesis of > 1500 ml or a cumulative amount of 1500 ml by multiple paracentesises within 10 days)
    • Incidence of intestinal obstruction with the need of surgical in-tervention or parenteral nutrition (>14 days, > 70% of calorie intake)
    • Increase from ECOG 1 or 2 to ECOG 3
    • Death

    Each parameter will be analyzed separately with reference to previous patient data. The first day of cumulative ascites paracentesis or intestinal obstruction and parenteral nutrition will be assessed.
