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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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.

    A.3Full title of the trial
    A phase III, randomised, open-label study comparing the combination of the BRAF inhibitor, dabrafenib and the MEK inhibitor, trametinib to the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib in subjects with unresectable (stage IIIc) or metastatic (stage IV) BRAF V600E/K mutation positive cutaneous melanoma
    Estudio de fase III, aleatorizado, abierto que compara la combinación del inhibidor de BRAF, (dabrafenib) y el inhibidor de MEK (trametinib), con el inhibidor de BRAF (vemurafenib) en pacientes con melanoma cutáneo no resecable (estadio IIIc) o metastásico (estadio IV) con la mutación BRAF V600E/K.
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    A study to test two investigational drugs, dabrafenib and trametinib, in combination together for treating a specific type of melanoma compared to another drug, vemurafenib that is approved for treatingthe same type of melanoma.
    Estudio para analizar la combinación de 2 fármacos en investigación, dabrafenib y trametinib, en el tratamiento de un tipo específico de melanoma, en comparación con otro fármaco, vemurafenib, que está aprobado para tratar el mismo tipo de melanoma.

    Subjects in both arms will continue treatment until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.
    After treatment discontinuation, subjects will be followed for survival and disease progression as applicable. The study will be closed once the number of deaths needed to achieve 90% power for the comparison of combination therapy to the vemurafenib arm or 70% of the total enrolled study population has died or been lost to follow-up; whichever is later.
    Los pacientes continuarán en tratamiento hasta la progresión, la muerte, toxicidad inaceptable o retirada del consentimiento. Tras la suspensión del tratamiento, se hará un seguimiento de la supervivencia y progresión. El estudio se cerrará al alcanzar el número de muertes necesarias para conseguir una potencia del 90% para la comparación del tratamiento combinado con el vemurafenib o que el 70% de la población total incluida en el estudio haya fallecido o se haya perdido para el seguimiento.
