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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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.

    Reason for amendment The reason for the amendment is an addendum to the patient information form (PIF) for already participating patients, following the CCMO's note regarding the transfer of subject data to countries outside the European Economic Area (Schrems II ruling). We also wish to submit the new Investigator’s Brochures of Carfilzomib v.21 and v21.1.
    14 Mar 2024
    Notification of Study Termination Through this letter, we would like to inform you about the intended termination of the HOVON 129 study as of December 31, 2024. In the HO129 study, Carfilzomib and Lenalidomide are being investigated in combination. Lenalidomide has now already been included in the treatment guidelines for Multiple Myeloma/primary PCL patients. The primary endpoint analysis (progression-free survival) of this study was conducted in 2023, and a publication has been accepted (see attached article). Currently, there are still 5 patients in the Netherlands receiving maintenance treatment with lenalidomide. Additionally, 1 patient in Italy is receiving maintenance treatment with lenalidomide and carfilzomib. Patients currently receiving maintenance treatment with lenalidomide will not be adversely affected by the termination of the HO129 study, as the treatment will be continued outside the study. For the Italian patient, carfilzomib will be made available through a compassionate use program from Amgen.
    28 Mar 2024
    New ICF Addendum v03 To inform patients about the early termination of the aforementioned study as of December 31, 2024.
