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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    •Overall program
    To determine whether the assessment of residual disease can be improved by a centralized review of post-operative MRI and whether such review increases the rate of complete resection compared to historical controls. Does central neurosurgical and radiological review increase resection rates?

    •Stratum 1
    To compare PFS in patients who receive 15 weeks chemotherapy with VEC+CDDP following complete surgical resection, with no residual disease, and radiotherapy when compared to those that undergo complete surgical resection, with no residual disease, and radiotherapy alone.

    •Stratum 2
    To evaluate the efficacy of 2 post-operative chemotherapy schedules with VEC or VEC+HD-MTX in patients who have incompletely resected tumour.

    •Stratum3
    To evaluate the PFS in children unable to receive radiation therapy and who receive valproate, as a HDCAI in addition to the primary chemotherapy strategy when compared to those that undergo chemotherapy without valproate.
    Determinare se la valutazione della malattia residua può migliorare da una revisione centralizzata di RMN post-operatoria e se tale riesame aumenta il tasso di resezione completa rispetto ai controlli storici. I tassi di resezione aumentano in relazione alla revisione neurochirurgica e radiologica centrali? Strato 1: Paragonare la PFS nei pazienti che ricevono 15 settimane di chemioterapia (VEC-CDDP) dopo l’intervento di resezione ed alla radioterapia conformazionale rispetto ai pazienti sottoposti a resezione chirurgica e radioterapia da sola. Strato 2:Valutare l'efficacia di due programmi di chemioterapia post-operatoria, VEC o VEC + HD - MTX in pazienti affetti da tumore non completamente asportato. Strato 3:Valutare la PSF nei bambini che non possono ricevere radioterapia e che ricevono valproato, come inibitore della istone deacetilasi, oltre alla strategia di chemioterapia primaria rispetto ai bambini che ricevono la chemioterapia senza valproato.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    •Overall program
    To evaluate second look surgery rates as compared to historical controls
    To prospectively evaluate 1q copy-number status, Tenascin C, NELL2, LAMA 2, RELA-fusion and molecular subgroup as prognostic and predictive biomarkers in ependymoma within clinical trial setting

    •Stratum 1
    To evaluate whether OS is improved
    To compare the neuropsychological and neuroendocrine morbidity
    To compare the QoS
    To determine the safety and the tolerance

    •Stratum 2
    To determine the safety and tolerability
    To evaluate whether OS is improved

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Linked Biological Study:
    This part of the program will be organised by the European Ependymoma biology consortium called “Biomarkers of Ependymomas in Children and Adolescents (BIOMECA)” throughout a cooperation agreement with the aim to identify informative prognostic biomarkers for assessment of disease status and predictive response to therapy. The SIOP Ependymoma Program II supports the identification of informative prognostic biomarkers within the collaborative BIOMECA study. This high priority initiative is an essential element of the overall program to improve future treatment of ependymoma.

    Exploratory objectives:
    •To test the hypothesis that key molecular events are predictive of clinical behaviour of ependymoma.
    •To identify new biomarkers for Ependymoma clinical and biological behaviour (location, recurrence, chemo resistance, invasion, metastasis).
    •To validate known biomarkers in the context of the new international prospective study for newly diagnosed Ependymoma
    •To provide a new comprehensive grading scheme based on the histological, and immunohistochemical and/or biological criteria that could be used for newly diagnosed Ependymoma.
    •To validate and compare the techniques to assess biomarkers for further use in the stratification of patients
    •To select the best biomarker(s) and establish a prognostic signature for ependymoma.
    Questa parte del programma sarà organizzato dal Consorzio europeo di biologia dell’ Ependimoma chiamato Biomarcatori di Ependimomi in bambini e adolescenti (BIOMECA) attraverso un accordo di cooperazione con l'obiettivo di identificare i biomarcatori prognostici informativi per la valutazione dello stato di malattia e la risposta predittiva alla terapia.

    Obiettivi esplorativi:
    •Verificare l'ipotesi che gli eventi molecolari chiave siano predittivi del comportamento clinico dell’ependimoma.
    •Identificare nuovi biomarcatori per il comportamento clinico e biologico dell’ependimoma (sede, recidiva, resistenza alla chemio, invasione, metastasi).
    •Validare biomarcatori noti nel contesto del nuovo studio prospettico internazionale per l’ependimoma.
    •Fornire un nuovo schema di classificazione globale basato sull’istologia e criteri immunoistochimici e/o biologici che potrebbero essere utilizzati per l’ependimoma alla diagnosi.
    •Validare e confrontare le tecniche utilizzate per valutare i biomarcatori per un'ulteriore stratificazione dei pazienti.
    •Selezionare il migliore biomarker e stabilire una firma prognostica per l’ependimoma.
