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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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)
    The proportion of patients who prefer Rituximab SC over Rituximab IV
    and the corresponding 95% confidence interval will be estimated
    Per l’endpoint primario della preferenza del paziente, verranno stimati la percentuale di pazienti che preferiscono Rituximab s.c. a Rituximab e.v., ed il corrispondente intervallo di confidenza al 95%.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary analysis of patient preference will take place when all
    patients have completed induction treatment.
    L'analisi primaria della preferenza da parte del paziente verrà effettuata quando tutti i pazienti avranno completato il loro trattamento di induzione.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Safety will be assessed by AEs, AEs of grade ≥ 3, serious adverse
    events (SAEs), premature withdrawal from the study and from study
    medication, laboratory parameters, vital signs and ECOG performance
    status. Adverse events will be coded in MedDRA. The incidence of AEs
    and SAEs will be summarized by primary system organ class and
    preferred term. Laboratory parameters will be presented in shift tables
    of NCI-CTC grade at baseline against worst grade recorded during each
    treatment period and overall. Other safety variables will be summarized.
    The time required for rituximab administration defined as start of
    rituximab SC injection to end of the injection and start of rituximab IV
    infusion to the end of the infusion will be summarized.
    Patient-assessed satisfaction and convenience using RASQ and CTSQ will
    be summarized and presented by treatment group.
    Efficacy endpoints: The Complete Response (CR/CRu) rate measured 4-8 weeks after the end of treatment will be summarized. The time-to-event
    endpoints EFS, DFS, PFS and OS from randomization will be summarized
    overall and by the two treatment sequence groups using the Kaplan
    Meier approach.
    Immunogenicity (anti-rituximab and anti-rHuPH20 antibodies) will be
    summarized
    La sicurezza verrà valutata in base agli eventi avversi (EA), agli EA di grado >3, agli eventi avversi seri (EAS), alle RAA, agli IRR, al ritiro prematuro dallo studio e dal farmaco dello studio, ai parametri di laboratorio di sicurezza, ai segni vitali, al performance status secondo l’ECOG ed ai farmaci concomitanti. Gli eventi avversi verranno codificati nel MedDRA. L’incidenza di EA, di EA che comportino la sospensione prematura o l’interruzione del trattamento dello studio, di EAS, di EA di Grado 3 e 4, delle RAA e degli IRR verrà riassunta in base alla classe del sistema d’organo primario ed al termine preferito. I parametri di laboratorio verranno presentati in tabelle shift di grado NCI-CTC al basale in confronto al grado peggiore registrato durante ciascun periodo di trattamento e complessivamente. Verranno riassunte altre variabili di sicurezza.
    Verrà riassunto il tempo necessario per la somministrazione di rituximab definita come inizio dell’iniezione di rituximab s.c. fino alla fine dell’iniezione ed all’inizio dell’infusione e.v. di rituximab fino alla fine dell’infusione.
    La soddisfazione valutata dal paziente e la comodità verranno riassunte utilizzando i questionari RASQ e CTSQ e presentate per gruppi di trattamento.
    Endpoint dell’efficacia: Verrà riassunta la percentuale di “Complete Response” (Risposta completa) (CR/Cru) misurata 4-8 settimane dopo la fine del trattamento. Gli endpoint “time-to-event” (Tempo all’evento), EFS, DFS, PFS ed OS dalla randomizzazione saranno riassunti complessivamente ed in base ai due gruppi di sequenza del trattamento usando l’approccio di Kaplan Meier.
    Verranno riassunti anche i dati relativi all’immunogenicità (anticorpi anti-rituximab e anti-rHuPH20).
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Safety monitoring of data will be performed periodically by the IDMC.
    The final analysis for the efficacy endpoints (CR/CRu, EFS, DFS, PFS and
    OS) will be provided when the last patient has completed at least 24
    months of follow-up, had disease recurrence, withdrawn from the study,
    been lost to follow up or died, whichever occurs first
    Il monitoraggio della Sicurezza dei dati verrà effettuato periodicamente tramite l'IMDC. L'analisi finale per l'efficacy endpoints (CR/CRu, EFS, DFS, PFS and OS)sarà affettuata quando l'ultimo paziente ha completato i 24 mesi di follow up o in caso di ricaduta di malattia, ritiro dallo studio, perdita al follow up o decesso, a seconda di quale di questi eventi si verifica per primo.
