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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A randomised Phase II study of two pre-operative chemoradiotherapy regimes (oxaliplatin and capecitabine followed by radiotherapy with either oxaliplatin and capecitabine or paclitaxel and carboplatin) for resectable oesophageal cancer.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The principal research question is whether it is effective to treat oesophageal cancer patients eligible to receive chemo-radiotherapy with one of two differing radiosensitizer schedules [carboplatin/paclitaxel and oxaliplatin/capecitabine]. The aim of the trial is to select the most effective regime to take forward into a phase III trial in which pre-operative chemo-radiotherapy will be compared with chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced oesophageal cancer at high risk of R1 disease at surgery.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The IDMC reviewed the interim data approximately 6 months after the date of randomisation of the first participant. These analyses was carried out to safeguard the interests of trial participants, monitor the main outcome measures including safety and efficacy, and monitor the overall conduct of the trial. SAE reporting was done in real time according to regulatory requirements.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    85 patients with oesophageal cancer were randomized between October 2013 and February 2015 from 17 UK centers.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Eligibility criteria: resectable adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus including Siewert Type 1 or 2 tumor of the gastro-esophageal junction, with cT stage >/=3 and/or cN stage >/= 1, WHO performance status 0-1, maximum disease (T + N) length 8cm, adequate respiratory, cardiac, hematological, renal and hepatic function, and >/= 18 years old.

    Pre-assignment period milestones
    Number of subjects started
    205 [1]
    Number of subjects completed

    Pre-assignment subject non-completion reasons
    Reason: Number of subjects
    Declined to participate: 20
    Reason: Number of subjects

    Reason: Number of subjects
    Not meeting inclusion criteria: 98
    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 120 participants were excluded following after starting the pre-assignment period
