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   44334   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Changes in FLT uptake as assessed by PET following 2 weeks of treatment with Irosustat.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    FLT-PET scans will be performed on day 1 and day 14. Every effort must be made to observe the 14 day time point. However, delays of up to 3 days will be acceptable.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    1) To characterize the pharmacodynamic profile of Irosustat by measuring peripheral blood steroid hormone levels and assessing the effect of Irosustat on STS inhibition in PBMCs. 2) To evaluate safety and tolerability of Irosustat by collecting toxicities according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE v 4.03: June 14, 2010).

    While receiving study treatment patients will attend study visits for clinical evaluation and blood sampling at day 1, day 7, day 14 and at 30 days following the last dose of Irosustat. In addition, patients who have consented to the collection of an optional post treatment tumour sample will attend an additional visit as soon as possible following day 14.
