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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.

    Primary: Safety and efficacy

    		 Close Top of page
    End point title
    		 Safety and efficacy
    End point description
    Efficacy is analyzed by pathological complete response (pCR), which is determined by Miller & Paine calssification evaluated after surgery. In the control group 67% of patients were found to have a pCR, while in the experimental group 56% of patients obtained pCR. Fisher's exact test was used to determine a possible relationship between the group and having pCR or not. A p-value = 0.69 was obtained, which is not significant, so there is no statistical evidence to affirm that there are differences between the two variables.
    End point type

    End point timeframe
    Markers of safety ans efficacy will be collected whith each systemic therapy. Toxicity will be evaluated based on CTCAE v4 2010 scale.
