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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Eligible patients were aged 70 years or older and had histopathologically proven colorectal adenocarcinoma, non-resectable metastases, and a WHO performance status of 0–2.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants had received no prior chemotherapy except adjuvant fluoropyrimidine therapy completed more than 180 days before randomisation and had a life expectancy of at least 3 months.

    Is this the baseline period?
    Yes
    Allocation method
    Randomised - controlled
    Blinding used
    Not blinded
    Blinding implementation details
    Patients were randomly assigned to sequential full-dose monotherapy (S-1 followed by irinotecan monotherapy at progression) or sequential dose-reduced combination chemotherapy (S-1 and oxaliplatin followed by S-1 and irinotecan at progression). Bevacizumab was optional in first-line therapy at the discretion of the treating physician but the decision had to be made before randomisation.

    Arms
    Are arms mutually exclusive
    Yes

    Arm title
    Full-dose monotherapy
    Arm description
    Patients assigned to full-dose monotherapy were treated with S-1 30 mg/m² orally twice daily on days 1–14 every 3 weeks followed by second-line treatment at progression with irinotecan (250 mg/m² intravenously on day 1 every 3 weeks or 180 mg/m² intravenously on day 1 every 2 weeks). In the absence of toxicity above grade 1 (except alopecia), it was recommended to increase irinotecan in steps to 350 mg/m² intravenously on day 1 every 3 weeks or 250 mg/m² intravenously on day 1 every 2 weeks.

    Because bevacizumab was not standard of care in most Nordic countries at the time of study design, the addition of bevacizumab to first-line chemotherapy was optional and given at the discretion of the treating physician. When used, bevacizumab was given at 7.5 mg/kg intravenously on day 1 every 3 weeks.
