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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.

    To compare the efficacy of the combination STZ-5FU chemotherapy followed by Everolimus 10 mg/day upon progression versus the reverse sequence in the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNET), in terms of rate of patients with second progression free survival at 84 weeks of treatment, assessed by local investigator using RECIST criteria 1.0.
    Confrontare l'efficacia della combinazione di chemioterapia con STZ-5FU seguita da everolimus 10 mg/die in caso di progressione della malattia rispetto all'ordine inverso nel trattamento dei tumori neuroendocrini pancreatici (pNET) in fase avanzata, in termini di percentuale di pazienti con sopravvivenza senza seconda progressione a 84 settimane di trattamento, valutata dallo sperimentatore locale utilizzando i Criteri di valutazione della risposta nei tumori solidi (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, RECIST) 1.0.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    •To describe the efficacy of the two sequences of treatment STZ-5FU and
    everolimus 10 mg/day, as a continuous variable Hazard Ratio (HR), in
    advanced pNETs.
    • To determine whether the overall survival of patients with advanced
    pNETs could be modified by the upfront administration of each other
    treatment, STZ-5FU and everolimus 10 mg/day, upon progression.
    • To compare the clinical activity of STZ-5FU and everolimus 10 mg/day
    treatment given in 1st or 2nd place in advanced pNETS, in terms of time
    to first and second progression, response rate (RR), and early
    biochemical response (4 week CgA levels), Quality of Life and cost-efficacy of each sequence, and to investigate the criteria for measuring
    progression free survival (RECIST 1.0, RECIST 1.1, composite RECIST 1.0
    and composite RECIST 1.1) that correlates better with overall survival.
    • To compare the safety and tolerability of the two tratment sequences
    • To compare the cost-efficacy of the two tratment sequences
    • Descrivere l'efficacia delle 2 sequenze di trattamento, come un rapporto di rischio (HR) continuo variabile nei pNET avanzati.
    • Determinare se la sopravvivenza globale dei pazienti con pNET avanzati potrebbe essere modificata dalla somministrazione iniziale dell’una o altra terapia, in caso di progressione della malattia.
    • Confrontare l'attività clinica delle 2 sequenze di trattamento in pNET in fase avanzata, in termini di tempo alla prima e seconda progressione della malattia, tasso di risposta (RR), risposta biochimica precoce (CgA a 4 settimane), qualità di vita e rapporto costo-efficacia di ogni sequenza, nonché indagare i criteri di misurazione della sopravvivenza libera da progressione (criteri RECIST 1.0, RECIST 1.1, RECIST 1.0 compositi e RECIST 1.1 compositi) che si correlano meglio con la sopravvivenza globale.
    • Confrontare la sicurezza e la tollerabilità delle 2 sequenze di trattamento.
    • Confrontare il rapporto costo-efficacia delle 2 sequenze di trattamento.
