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   44020   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7318   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The association of patients Alianza VHL informed about and invited their members to participate in the study. Seven VHL patients from different regions of Spain were included. All of them had a positive genetic diagnosis of VHL.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 The participants should meet one of the following two criteria: Papillary or juxtapapillary hemangioblastomas, non-eligible for standard treatment (laser photocoagulation or cryotherapy) due to the high risk of iatrogenic visual loss.Peripheral retinal hemangioblastomas for which patients had rejected standard treatments.

    End point timeframe
    The primary endpoint of the study was the number and size of all the retinal hemangioblastomas. The follow-up visits were scheduled at the Ophthalmology Department at baseline and at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 of treatment.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: the number of patients and tumors is so small that statistical analysis is meaningless. This study has only a descriptive objective.
