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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    To determine the anti-tumour activity of the combination of omega-3 fish oil in combination with standard palliative EOX chemotherapy as measured by PFS. This is the time from enrolment to any disease progression and/or death, defined according to strict radiological criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST v 1.1). Lesions will be compared to baseline measurements to assess progression.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary end point will be at 36 weeks from the commencement of the palliative treatment, each participant will have a CT scan at this time to evaluate for any progression, which will be used to assess for the progression free survival.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • Evaluation of toxicity, feasability and effect of fish oil infusion. • Overall survival (OS).
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    •A safety review of toxicities will be performed after 10 and 21 patients have completed at least one cycle of chemotherapy and omega-3 fish oil treatment, If the review concludes that there is excess unacceptable toxicity then the safety committee may recommend that recruitment into the trial should cease. If the committee deem the trial safe to continue, recruitment will continue until a further 24 participants have been recruited (i.e. a total of 45 participants). •Time from enrolment to death for the overall survival.
