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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare the progression free survival (FPS) of vinflunine/gemcitabine versus carboplatin/gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelial tract unfit for cisplatin based chemotherapy due to impaired renal function.
    Protection of trial subjects
    AEs were graded after every treatment cycle in accordance with NCI CTCAE. Early safety reports to the Swedish Medical Products Agency (Årlig säkerhetsrapport för icke kommersiellt sponsrad klinisk läkemedelsprövning (DSUR)). Reporting of SAE and SUSAR according to the protocol and GCP.
