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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Study Part 1: To determine the recommended dose for the aflibercept, oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX) combination to be used in the Part 2 of the study. Study Part 2: To assess the percentage of subjects without progression of the disease at 6 months after the start of maintenance therapy with aflibercept single-agent, following the first-line induction therapy with XELOX and aflibercept combination in subjects with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.

    Tumor assessment was performed by Abdomino-Pelvic Computed Tomography Scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) and chest X-ray or chest CT-scan to assess disease status at baseline and every 9 weeks during study treatment up to DP. Target lesions evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors(RECIST) version1.1, wherein CR=disappearance of all target lesions; PR=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter(LD) of target lesions taking as reference baseline sum LD; PD=20% increase in sum of LD of target lesions taking as reference smallest sum in study and SD=small changes not met above criteria. Evaluable Population(EP) for tumor response was subset of ITT population (all subjects who gave informed consent and successfully registered into study) with measurable disease at study entry,received at least 1 cycle of study treatment, with at least 1 post baseline tumor evaluation, except for early DP or death.
