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   43858   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Substudies will only be conducted in Germany.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    LR-arm:
    a) Age at diagnosis, at least 3 - 5 years (depending on the country) and less than 16 years.
    The date of diagnosis is the date on which first surgery/biopsy is undertaken.

    b) Histologically proven medulloblastoma, including the following subtypes, as defined in the WHO classification (2007):
    classic medulloblastoma desmoplastic/nodular medulloblastoma Pre-treatment central pathology review is considered mandatory.

    c) Standard risk medulloblastoma, defined as:
    - total or near total surgical resection with less than or equal to 1.5 cm2 (measured on axial plane) of residual
    tumour on early postoperative MRI, without and with contrast, on central review;
    - no CNS metastasis on MRI (cranial and spinal) on central review; )
    - no tumour cells on the cytospin samples of lumbar CSF
    - no clinical evidence of extra-CNS metastasis.

    Patients with a reduction of postoperative residual tumour through second surgery to less than or equal to 1.5 cm2 are eligible, if timeline for start of radiotherapy can be kept.

    d) Submission of high quality biological material including fresh frozen tumor samples for the molecular assessment of biological markers (such as the assessment of MYC gene copy number status) in national biological reference centers. Submission of blood and CSF is mandatory for all patients, who agree on germline DNA studies. Submission of CSF is recommended.
    e) No amplification of MYC or MYCN (determined by FISH).
    f) Low-risk biological profile, defined as WNT subgroup positivity. The WNT subgroup is defined by the presence of (i) ß-catenin mutation (mandatory testing), or (ii) ß-catenin nuclear immuno-positivity by IHC (mandatory testing) and ß-catenin mutation, or (iii) ß-catenin nuclear immuno-positivity by IHC and monosomy 6 (optional testing).
    g) No prior therapy for medulloblastoma other than surgery;
    h) Radiotherapy aiming to start no more than 28 days after surgery. Foreseeable inability to start radiotherapy within 40 days after surgery renders patients ineligible for the study
    i) Screening for the compliance with eligibility criteria should be completed, and patient should be included into the study within 28 days after first surgery (in case of second surgery within 35 days after first surgery). Inclusion of patients is not possible later than 40 days after first tumour surgery, or after start of radiotherapy.
    j) CTC grades < 2 for liver, renal, haematological function
    k) No significant sensineural hearing deficit as defined by pure tone audiomentry with bone conduction or air conduction and normal tympanogram showing no impairement ? 20 dB at 1-3 kHz. If performance of pure tone audiometry is not possible postoperatively, normal otoacoustic emissions are acceptable, if there is no history for hearing deficit.
    l) No medical contraindication to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, such as preexisting DNA breakage syndromes (e.g. Fanconi Anemia, Nijmegen breakage syndrome), Gorlin Syndrome or other reasons as defined by patient?s clinician;
    m) No identified Turcot and Li Fraumeni syndrome.
    n) Written informed consent (and patient assent where appropriate) for therapy according to the laws of each participating country. Information must be provided to the patient on biological studies (tumour and germline), and written informed consent obtained of agreement for participation.
    o) National and local ethical committee approval according to the laws of each participating country (to include approval for biological studies).

    SR-arm as above , with the exception of a, f):
