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   43857   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to describe Objective response rate (ORR; confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1 and the disease control rate (CBR; confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD)) of gefitinib using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1 in patients diagnosed for activating sensitising Epidermal Growth Factor mutation positive (EGFR M+) NSCLC.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The Informed Consent Forms was incorporated wording that complies with relevant data protection and privacy legislation. Pursuant to this wording, patients authorised the collection, use and disclosure of their study data by the investigator and by those persons who need that information for the purposes of the study. The Master Informed Consent Forms explained that study data were stored in a computer database, maintaining confidentiality in accordance with national data legislation. All data computer processed by AstraZeneca were identified by “E-code”, and study code. AstraZeneca did not provide individual genotype results to patients, any insurance company, any employer, their family members, general physician or any other third party, unless required to do so by the law. Extra precautions were taken to preserve confidentiality and prevent study data being linked to the identity of the patient. In exceptional circumstances, however, certain individuals might see both the study data and the personal identifiers of a patient. For example, in the case of a medical emergency, an AstraZeneca Physician or an investigator might know a patient’s identity and also have access to his or her study data. Also Regulatory authorities may require access to the relevant files.

    At the previous text on measurable disease defined as at least one lesion, preferentially not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥ 10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have short axis ≥ 15 mm) with spiral CT or MRI and which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements was added that in the presence of only 1 lesion previously irradiated, this can be accepted if a progression of disease has been documented compared with the previous assessment or if the physician considers the modifications of the lesion worthy of a new treatment. Exclusion criteria #9 was modified and steroids were admitted if the purpose of their use was antiedemigenous prophylaxis, in absence of neurological symptoms. Total sample was reduced from 92 pateints to 54 evaluable patients. Statistical methods for analysis were better specified.
