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   44335   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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Between May 2011 and July 2015, 61 patients were enrolled. 60 patients received at least one first-line Carboplatin-Pemetrexed cycle. The full planned induction regimen (four cycles) was completed in 38 patients (62.3%). Among the 38 four-cycle completers, 31 patients (50.8% of efficacy population) started pemetrexed-maintenance.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 To be eligible, People Living with HIV (PLHIV) were diagnosed with histological or cytological confirmed non-squamous NSCLC, stage III–IV, and had no previous administration of chemotherapy, age between 18 and 75 years, an ECOG-PS 0–2, patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic brain metastases could be included without prior treatment.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: After the four-cycle induction, 7/38 patients didn't achieve disease control (partial response or stable) and were not allowed to continued on maintenance pemetrexed.
