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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess treatment response (according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors [RECIST]) in patients with previous untreated wt RAS advanced colorectal cancer (patients with mutant KRAS and mutant NRAS are excluded) using mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI and cetuximab with therapy chosen using ERCC-1 gene expression assessment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety assessments were done on a regular basis, all patients having received at least one dose of the study medication have been followed for adverse events for at least 28 days after discontinuing study treatment or completion of study treatment. Pretreatment with antiemetics, micronutriens, atropine and corticosteroids was recommended. Recommendations for dose modifications in case of toxicities were given. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined.
    Background therapy
    Arm A (ERCC-1 low), mFOLFOX6: Oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 on day 1, 15 q d29 for 6 cycles; folinic acid 400mg/m2 on days 1 and 15 q d29 for 6 cycles; fluorouracil (5-FU) 2400mg/m2 46-hour infusion on days 1, 2 and 15, 16 and q d29 for 6 cycles or until unacceptable toxicity, optional: 400mg/m2 bolus on day 1 and 16 of each cycle. Arm B (ERCC-1 high), FOLFIRI: Irinotecan 180mg/m² on day 1, 15 q d29 for 6 cycles; folinic acid 400mg/m2 on days 1 and 15 q d29 for 6 cycles; fluorouracil (5-FU) 2400mg/m2 46-hour infusion on days 1, 2 and 15, 16 and q d29 for 6 cycles or until unacceptable toxicity, optional: 400mg/m2 bolus on day 1 and 16 of each cycle.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Between 04-Dec-2012 and 04-Jun-2018 47 patients were enrolled at 10 study sites in Austria.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    83 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer were screened for eligibility. Initially 50 patients met inclusion criteria. In one patient a KRAS E3 mutation was locally tested after screening period and two further patients were not willing to start with the study. Therefore 47 patients were enrolled for the study.

    Amendment
    25 Oct 2013
    In-/exclusion criteria were extended. Patients with mutant KRAS and NRAS (Exon 2,3) were excluded. As soon as other KRAS or NRAS mutation status analyses were available (KRAS exon 3,4 and NRAS 4) these were implemented without an amendment.
