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   43866   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7287   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)
    Overall Survival: time from date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. If a patient is not known to have died at the cut-off date for analysis, survival will be censored at the date of last contact.
    Sopravvivenza globale: il tempo a partire dalla data di randomizzazione fino alla data del decesso per qualsiasi causa. Se non è noto se un paziente è deceduto alla data di cut-off per l'analisi, la sopravvivenza sarà censurata alla data dell'ultimo contatto.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Please refer to section 5.B.1 of the Protocol
    Fare riferimento alla sezione 5.B.1 del Protocollo
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary Endpoints:
    • Time to Progression (TTP): time from randomization to the date of first
    documented radiographic tumor progression; TTP does not include
    deaths. If a patient has not had a TTP event at the cut-off date for
    analysis, TTP will be censored at the date of last evaluable tumor
    assessment before the cut-off.
    • Progression Free Survival (PFS): time from randomization to the date
    of first documented radiographic tumor progression or death due to any
    cause, whichever occurs first. If a patient has not had a PFS event at the cut-off date for analysis, PFS will be censored at the date of last evaluable tumor assessment before the cut-off.
    • Overall response rate (ORR): proportion of patients whose best overall
    response during their participation in the study is either CR or PR. The
    best overall response is the best response recorded from the
    randomization until disease progression.
    • Disease control rate (DCR): proportion of patients whose best overall
    response during their participation in the study is either CR, PR, or stable
    disease (SD).
    • Safety: assessed by the NCI CTCAE (version 4.03). Incidence of AEs
    and SAEs will be reported.
    • Time to Symptomatic Progression (TSP): time from randomization until
    the first documented event of symptomatic progression defined as a
    decrease of 4 points or more from baseline in the FHSI-8 questionnaire
    (sub-part of the FACT-Hep questionnaire) or a decrease in performance
    status to 4, or death.
    • Changes in the QoL assessed by changes in the FACT-Hep and EQ5D-3L
    questionnaires.
    Exploratory Endpoints:
    • TTP, PFS, ORR, and DCR as described above will also be assessed
    centrally.
    • Duration of overall Response (DoR): applies only to patients whose
    best overall response is CR or PR. The start date is the date of first
    documented response (CR or PR) and the end date is the date of first
    documented disease progression or the date of death due to underlying
    cancer.
    • Time to Initial Response (TIR): the start date is the date of
    randomization and the end date is the date of first documented response
    (CR or PR).
    • Relative change of tumor size over time. Baseline tumor size is defined as the sum of the longest diameters for all target lesions as identified
    during screening.
    • Changes in clinical laboratory parameters will be described including
    standard safety assessments, AFP levels, CD4 and CD8 counts (all
    assessed centrally).
    • Additional immunology assays may be performed on archived samples
    to further assess the immune mechanisms involved and identify
    biomarkers of response. Pharmacoeconomy: information obtained from
    questionnaires collecting patient-level resource and service-use (Health
    Care Resource Utilization, Patient accommodation and Transport and
    EQ5D-3L questionnaires) will be analyzed. Detailed costs collected using
    data in eCRF, hospital invoices and pharmacy worksheet data will also be
    used as information for pharmacoeconomy analyses.
    • Tempo alla progressione (TTP): tempo dalla randomizzazione alla data della prima progressione documentata con esame radiografico; TTP non include i decessi. Se un paziente non ha manifestato un evento di TTP alla data di cut-off per l'analisi, il TTP sarà censurato alla data dell'ultimo esame di tumore valutabile prima del cut-off.
    •Sopravvivenza libera da Progressione (PFS): tempo da randomizzazione a data prima progressione documentata con esame radiografico o del decesso per qualsiasi causa, qualunque di questi eventi si verifichi per primo. Se un paziente non ha manifestato un evento di PFS alla data di cut-off per l'analisi, la PFS sarà censurata a data dell'ultimo esame di tumore valutabile prima del cut-off.
    •Tasso di risposta complessiva (ORR): percentuale di pazienti la cui miglior risposta complessiva durante la partecipazione allo studio è CR o PR. La miglior risposta complessiva è la miglior risposta registrata da randomizzazione fino a progressione della malattia.
    •Tasso di controllo della malattia (DCR): percentuale di pazienti la cui miglior risposta complessiva durante la partecipazione allo studio è CR, PR o malattia stabile (SD).
    •Sicurezza: valutata in base ai criteri NCI CTCAE (versione 4.03). Sarà segnalata l'incidenza di AE e SAE.
    •Tempo alla progressione sintomatica (TSP): tempo da randomizzazione fino al primo evento di progressione sintomatica documentato definito come diminuzione di 4 punti o più rispetto al basale nel questionario FHSI-8 o una diminuzione dello stato di performance a 4, o decesso.
    •Variazioni della qualità della vita valutate in base a variazioni nei questionari FACT-Hep ed EQ5D-3L.
    Endpoint esplorativi:
    •TTP, PFS, ORR, e DCR valutati anche a livello centrale.
    •Durata della risposta complessiva (DoR): si applica solo ai pazienti la cui miglior risposta complessiva è CR o PR. La data di inizio è la data della prima risposta documentata (CR o PR) e la data di fine è la data della prima progressione della malattia documentata o la data del decesso dovuto a tumore di base.
    • Tempo alla risposta iniziale (TIR): la data di inizio è la data della randomizzazione e la data di fine è la data della prima risposta documentata (CR o PR).
    • Variazione relativa della dimensione del tumore nel tempo. La dimensione basale del tumore è definita come somma dei diametri più lunghi per tutte le lesioni target identificate durante lo screening.
    • Variazioni parametri clinici di laboratorio saranno descritte includendo valutazioni standard di sicurezza, livelli di AFP, conte CD4 e CD8 (tutti valutati centralmente).
    •Test immunologici aggiuntivi potranno essere eseguiti su campioni da archivio per valutare i meccanismi immunitari e identificare i biomarcatori di risposta. Farmaco-economia: saranno analizzate le informazioni dai questionari per la raccolta di dati su utilizzo risorse/servizi a livello del paziente, costi dettagliati raccolti usando i dati nelle eCRF, fatture ospedaliere,schede della farmacie.
