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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    We would like to know whether or not treating patients with Cisplatin and Gemcitabine (chemotherapy) helps reduce the risk of biliary tract or gallbladder cancer returning.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The patient experience during and after chemotherapy is important to describe in the ACTICCA-1 trial. A standard Quality of life (QoL) evaluation will be performed and patients will be requested to complete the QoL form at specific time points during and after treatment.
    Toxicity and side effects for patients on chemotherapy will be collected and reviewed to ensure patient safety.
    The collection of biliary and digestive complications relating to patients surgical reconstructions and requirement for further intervention will be performed.
    The research question will look to compare the impact of chemotherapy against the control group in assessing overall survival.
    Disease free survival at two years post randomisation will also be analyzed.
    Where recurrence, and documentation of cancers returning, occurs the locations and patterns for cancers returning will be collated and analyzed.
    The translational objective will be to build a tissue and sample repository from consented patients t
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    ACTICCA-1 Translational Research substudy
    Investigation of the information content of the informed consent and the shared decision-making process Substudy.
    These substudies are integral to the main trial protocol and thus has the same version number and date.
