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   44039   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7319   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    - To determine the rate of pCR in the breast and axilla (ypT0/is, ypN0). Pathological complete response is defined as no presence of invasive residuals in the breast and resected axillary lymph nodes.
    Protection of trial subjects

    End point description
    After breast surgery pathologic complete response will be assessed by the pathologist as no invasive residual tumor in the breast and axilla (ypT0/is, ypN0 (f+or f-). ypN0f+ means that no metastatic disease is detected in the lymph node but there is evidence of response or downstaging due to fibrosis in the lymph node; ypN0f- means that there is no metastatic disease nor evidence of response or downstaging detected in the lymph node. In case of metastatic disease in the lymph node we refer to the TNM classification. In case there was no clinical lymph node involvement baseline, and the sentinel procedure was negative, no further axillary lymph node dissection is required after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and only the ypT stage will be assessed pathologically. The yPN status will be considered as yPN0 in that case. Partial response to therapy will be considered as minimal residual disease if< 10% of the invasive residual tumor is remaining after surgery or considered as evidence of r

    Adverse events that begin or worsen after start of treatment should be recorded in the CRF. Conditions that were already present at the time of informed consent should be recorded in the CRF. Throughout the duration of the study according NCICTC AE v4.0
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    An adverse event is defined as the appearance of undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s) that occur after patient’s signed informed consent has been obtained.
