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.

    Part II: Active treatment with Temsirolimus in combination with R-DHAP for 2 to 4 cycles will last approximately to a maximum of 12 weeks. Patients will be followed for disease progression and or death and initiation of subsequent therapy for DLBCL for at least 2 years (if no event occurs) up to a maximum of 5 years.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Part I: Stem cell mobilization

    Part II: PFS, OS and Toxicity

    Part I: Stem cell mobilization is recommended after the second treatment cycle with G-CSF starting on day 5.

    Part II: Active treatment with Temsirolimus in combination with R-DHAP for 2 to 4 cycles will last approximately to a maximum of 12 weeks. Patients will be followed for disease progression and or death and initiation of subsequent therapy for DLBCL for at least 2 years (if no event occurs) up to a maximum of 5 years.
