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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of three different schedules of nab-Paclitaxel administration, as measured by progression-free survival (PFS), using the historical reference of PFS of docetaxel for first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The IBCSG has an Office for Human Research Protection (OHRP) Federal Wide Assurance (FWA00009439) and follows all of the policies and procedures that are part of that assurance. All potential subjects for this trial received a full explanation of the trial, its purpose, treatments, risks, benefits, and of other items.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Intention-to-treat population. Arm A had randomized 86 patient, but only 83 were analyzed. 3 patients excluded from analysis, who immediately withdrew consent or cancelled treatment.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: For each arm separately, PFS was compared to the historic PFS of first-line docetaxel using a one-sample one-sided log-rank test, of the null hypothesis, H0: median PFS≤7 months vs. H1: median PFS>7 months.
