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 ).

    		 Extent of necrosis in renal tumour histologically [1]
    End point description
    The end point used was to assess tumour cell death caused by the trial treatment
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Necrosis was measured histologically in the surgical specimen (partial or radical nephrectomy) which was performed approximately 4 weeks following the VTP treatment
    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: Histological analysis based on microscopic assessment, n = 5 and unable to do any meaningful statistical analysis on this

    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Collected as per CTCAE definition. Cases assessed on day 1,2 and 12 following the VTP treatment. Further assessment was made based on individual adverse events and included 1 referral to an Opthalmologist regarding eye symptoms, follow up of a urine leak radiologically and a completion nephrectomy.

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Early termination due to slow recruitment. leading to a smaller number than intended subjects for analysis together with the inability of MRI scanning post treatment to demonstrate the ablation zone
