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   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7337   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.

Patients should have relapsed within < 180 days after their response to first line therapy. At least 3 weeks should have elapsed between the end of first line therapy and the first dose of study drug. No previous irradiation to the only site of measurable or evaluable disease, unless that site had subsequent evidence of progression.

    4. Have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) within ≤ 2 weeks before randomization. Clear radiographic evidence of disease progression after initial therapy should have been documented.

Patients with brain metastases should not require use of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (eg, carbamazepine, phenytoin, or phenobarbital) within 14 days before first dose and during study. Use of newer antiepileptics that do not produce enzyme induction drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is allowed. Radiotherapy must have been completed a minimum of 14 days prior to randomization, and patients must have recovered from AEs related to the radiotherapy to < grade 1 (except alopecia).

    • Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)

    Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy), who:
    • Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 4 months after the last dose of study drug, or
    • Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods for the female partner] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)

    9. The patient or the patient’s legal representative is able to provide written informed consent. Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

    13. Altra grave condizione medica o psichiatrica acuta o cronica, tra cui il diabete non controllato, malassorbimento, resezione del pancreas o intestino tenue superiore, mancanza di enzimi pancreatici, qualsiasi condizione che abbia modificato l’assorbimento di farmaci per via orale da parte dell’intestino tenue, o anomalie di laboratorio che possono aumentare il rischio associato alla partecipazione allo studio o la somministrazione del farmaco sperimentale o che può interferire con l'interpretazione dei risultati dello studio e, a giudizio del medico dello studio, potrebbe rendere il paziente inadeguato per l'arruolamento in questo studio.
    14. Storia di infarto miocardico, instabile ischemica sintomatica, malattie cardiache, ipertensione non controllata nonostante un adeguato trattamento medico, eventuali aritmie cardiache in corso di grado> 2, eventi tromboembolici (ad esempio, trombosi venosa profonda, embolia polmonare, o eventi cerebrovascolari sintomatici) o qualsiasi altra condizione cardiaca (ad esempio, effusione pericardicoa o cardiomiopatia restrittiva) entro 6 mesi prima di ricevere la prima dose di farmaco dello studio. Fibrillazione atriale stabile cronica in terapia anticoagulante stabile è permessa. I pazienti con un pacemaker possono essere arruolati nello studio su valutazione del medico dello studio.
    15. Storia medica di virus dell'immunodeficienza umana (HIV), epatite B o epatite C. Il test non è richiesto in assenza di risultati clinici o sospetto. I pazienti con precedente trapianto allogenico osseo o di organi o di una condizione attiva di soppressione immunitaria cronica non sono ammissibili.
    16. Infezione che richiede una terapia antibiotica endovenosa o altre infezioni gravi entro 14 giorni prima della prima dose del farmaco dello studio.
    17. Pazienti che stanno allattando o hanno un test di gravidanza su siero positivo.
    18. Intervento chirurgico entro 3 settimane (o 2 settimane per un piccolo intervento chirurgico) prima dell’arruolamento e non pienamente recuperato al basale o a uno stato clinico stabile. È consentito l’inserimento di un dispositivo vascolare.
    19. Pazienti non disposti o non in grado di rispettare il protocollo o cooperare pienamente con il medico dello studio e il personale del centro.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint is PFS
    sopravvivenza libera da progressione (progression-free survival, PFS)
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    PFS will be assessed every cycle of therapy for the first 6 months, and then every 2 cycles between Days 21 and 28

    It is expected that the study will last approximately 22 months to reach the final analysis of the PFS endpoint for the maximum sample size (16 months of enrollment and 6 months of additional follow-up for PFS)
    PFS sarà valutata ad ogni ciclo di terapia per i primi 6 mesi, e poi ogni 2 cicli tra i giorni 21 e 28.
    Si prevede che lo studio durerà circa 22 mesi per raggiungere l’analisi finale dell'endpoint PFS per la dimensione massima del campione (16 mesi di arruolamento e 6 mesi di ulteriore follow-up per PFS).

    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    safety- ongoing
    Patients will be followed for OS every 2 months (± 2 weeks) until death events are obtained from approximately 80% of all patients in the ITT population or 14 months after last patient is randomized, whichever occurs first
    sicurezza durante il corso dello studio
    I pazienti saranno seguiti per la OS ogni 2 mesi (±2 settimane) finché non si ottengono eventi di decesso da circa l’80% di tutti i pazienti della popolazione che si intende trattare (intent-to-treat, ITT) oppure 14 mesi dopo la randomizzazione dell’ultimo paziente, a seconda di quale caso si presenti per primo.
