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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary end points are safety of treatment and clinical efficacy (decrease of the size of the lesion, event-free survival and overall survival of vaccinated patients)
    Las variables primarias son la seguridad del tratamiento y la eficacia clínica (disminución del tamaño del tumor y supervivencia global de los pacientes vacunados)
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Primary end points will be evaluated during treatment and afterwards, following the completion of vaccination. Regular follow-up of patients will continue over a period of three years. After this time, the patient will be still followed but outside the context of this clinical trial.
    Las variables primarias serán evaluadas durante el tratamiento y posteriormente una vez completado el tratamiento con las vacunas. Además el seguimiento de los pacientes continuará durante un periodo superior a tres años. Después de este tiempo se continuará siguiendo al paciente pero fuera del ensayo clínico
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary end points are studies of specific immune response induced by the vaccine (determination of antibodies and cellular immune response).
    Las variables secundarias respuesta inmunológica antitumoral inducida para la vacuna (determinación de anticuerpos y respuesta celular inmune)
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The immune response studies will be performed two weeks after the last vaccine for each patient. Therefore, the time point for this end point will be two months after the last vaccine for each patient.
    El estudio de respuesta inmune se llevará a cabo dos semanas después de la administración de la última vacuna a cada paciente. De este modo el periodo de evaluación será dos meses después de la última vacun a para cada paciente.
