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   44196   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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.

    Arms
    Arm title
    Trastuzumab
    Arm description
    In the run-in phase, participants received trastuzumab intravenously every 3 weeks for 18 weeks (Cycles 1-6). They first received trastuzumab 8 mg/kg once (Cycle 1) followed by trastuzumab 6 mg/kg 5 times for 15 weeks (Cycles 2-6). Following the run-in phase, participants were randomized to receive trastuzumab 600 mg subcutaneously every 3 weeks in the thigh and upper arm in a cross-over design for a total of 24 weeks (Cycles 7-14). They received trastuzumab either in the thigh first for 4 cycles (Cycles 7-10) followed by trastuzumab in the upper arm for 4 cycles (Cycles 11-14) or the upper arm first (Cycles 7-10) followed by the thigh (Cycles 11-14). In Cycles 15-18, participants received trastuzumab 600 mg SC every 3 weeks into either the thigh or the upper arm (participant’s choice) for 12 weeks (Cycles 15-18).

    Primary: Quality of Life Score

    End point title
    Quality of Life Score [1]
    End point description
    Participants rated their quality of life on a visual analog scale (VAS) at the end of each cycle for Cycles 7-14. The left-end of the VAS represented the lowest-rated quality of life and the right-end of the VAS represented the highest-rated quality of life. Both the mean ratings for injections into the thigh and the upper arm and the minimum ratings for during injections into the thigh and the upper arm are reported. Quality of life scores ranged from 1 to 100 with a higher score indicating a better rated quality of life.
