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
    Phase I: To determine: • Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) • Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) • Recommended phase II dose Phase II: To investigate the response rate in platinum-resistant and partially platinum sensitive ovarian cancer patients with known BRCA mutations treated with veliparib monotherapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients were offered antiemetics to treat potential veliparib-induced nausea and vomiting.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The phase I part of the study accrued patients from November 2011 to August 2012 and continued in phase II from September 2012 to March 2015 with enrollment of a total of 48 patients, 16 patients in phase I and 32 patients in phase II.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The phase II was intended to include 33 patients according to protocol, but 1 patient was withdrawn after inclusion because pathology and chart review revealed that her primary diagnosis was not OC but endometrial cancer, and she was withdrawn because of this protocol violation. Most of the included patients were heavily pretreated.

    Subject analysis set description
    Overall response: Combined CA125 biomarker and RECIST response. Tumor assessment was performed at baseline and after every third cycle by computed tomography scans of chest, abdomen, and pelvis according to RECIST version 1.1 and by CA-125 GCIG-modified criteria every third cycle. Response and progression were determined by using the definitions incorporating RECIST 1.1 and CA-125 as agreed by the GCIG. Patients were not evaluable (NE) by RECIST if they had no measurable target lesions according to RECIST version 1.1 (then patients could be included only if they had CA-125 measurable disease), and patients were NE by CA-125 RECIST criteria if their baseline CA-125 value was less than 70 kU/L and could vice versa be enrolled in the protocol only if they had RECIST-measurable disease.

    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 is descriptive and there is no comparisons and therefore no p-values. Simon’s 2-stage minimax design was used for assessment of the phase II part of the trial. The target level for response was set at 40% and 20% as the lower level of clinical interest. With a significance level of 5% and a power of 80%, the trial was planned to include 18 patients in the first step (stage I). If more than 10 patients among the 33 patients responded, the trrialwas defined as sufficiently p
