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   44365   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7389   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.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    29 May 2015
    Amendment 1 Research Protocol Patient population: patients aged 18 years or older with recurrent WM, with ≥1 line of prior systemic treatment instead of 1–3 lines of prior systemic treatment. Clarification of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Adjustment of contraception requirements for women using rituximab. Adjustment and clarification of timing for clinical evaluations. Subject Information Sheet and Consent Form 5. Adjustment of contraception requirements for women using rituximab. 6. Adjustment and clarification of timing for clinical evaluations. Participating Hospitals 7. Addition of LUMC, Tergooi hospitals, and IJsselland hospital. 8. Change of local investigator at Erasmus MC.
    28 Jun 2016
    Amendment 2 The labeling of the study medication ixazomib citrate will be taken over by the central pharmacy at the Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam.
    25 Jan 2017
    Amendment 3 Other changes: In the updated ixazomib citrate Investigator’s Brochure (IB, version 10), a fatal case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) was reported in a patient treated with ixazomib citrate. It is not known whether ixazomib citrate contributed to the development of this condition in the patient. This information has been added to the patient information. Additional changes: Administrative correction of text regarding urine tests that was incorrect in the patient information. For already included patients, a summary of the patient information has been prepared. A new version of the Investigator’s Brochure for ixazomib dated June 27, 2016 (version 10) and NLN9708 risk language April 20, 2016, along with the statement from the principal investigator, Prof. Dr. M. J. Kersten, indicating that the new IB has implications for the HOVON 124 study. Annual progress and safety reporting.
    27 Nov 2017
    Amendment 4 Reason for this change: Clarification of trial-specific procedures: Warm measurement of serum IgM in case of cryoglobulinemia. This is crucial for correct response assessment. The method of response assessment based on CT images. Although reference was made to the article by Cheson et al., these criteria were not clearly incorporated into the protocol. The time points when response evaluation should be performed. SAE (Serious Adverse Events) can now be reported by email. The inclusion period has been extended by 2 years due to delayed enrollment of patients. The KWF (Dutch Cancer Society) has agreed to a cost-neutral extension.
    21 Dec 2018
    Amendment 5 Reason for this change: Protocol: Textual, non-substantial adjustments. Patient Information: Update regarding privacy legislation, non-substantial. Change of local investigator: Dr. Koene replaces Dr. Vos at St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein.
    04 Nov 2019
    Amendment 6 Reason for this change: Dr. Silbermann replaces Dr. Deenik at Tergooi Hospital in Hilversum.
