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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 ).

    Phase I trial
    Arm description
    Six patients were enrolled at the highest dose level and then a 3 + 3 dose de-escalation schema was carried out. The criterion for de-escalation was more than one out of six patients reporting dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). A patient was evaluable at a given dose level, if had completed two cycles of treatment, comprising the two sequential schemes repeated twice, or have withdrawn from the study as result of a DLT. Each treatment cycle consisted of a 42-day period with therapy administered as follows: 30-min intravenous IV nab-paclitaxel infusion (125 mg/m2) followed by 30-min IV GEM infusion (1000 mg/m2) on days 1, 8 and 15 and 120-min IV oxaliplatin infusion (85 mg/m2), followed or concomitant (according to clinical practice) to 120-min IV L-leucovorin (200 mg/m2) or racemic leucovorin (400 mg/m2) infusion, followed by IV bolus of 5-FU (400 mg/m2) and followed by 46-h IV 5-FU infusion (2400 mg/m2) on day 29.

    Reporting group description
    Six patients were enrolled at the highest dose level and then a 3 + 3 dose de-escalation schema was carried out. The criterion for de-escalation was more than one out of six patients reporting dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). A patient was evaluable at a given dose level, if had completed two cycles of treatment, comprising the two sequential schemes repeated twice, or have withdrawn from the study as result of a DLT. Each treatment cycle consisted of a 42-day period with therapy administered as follows: 30-min intravenous IV nab-paclitaxel infusion (125 mg/m2) followed by 30-min IV GEM infusion (1000 mg/m2) on days 1, 8 and 15 and 120-min IV oxaliplatin infusion (85 mg/m2), followed or concomitant (according to clinical practice) to 120-min IV L-leucovorin (200 mg/m2) or racemic leucovorin (400 mg/m2) infusion, followed by IV bolus of 5-FU (400 mg/m2) and followed by 46-h IV 5-FU infusion (2400 mg/m2) on day 29.

    Six patients were enrolled at the highest dose level and then a 3 + 3 dose de-escalation schema was carried out. The criterion for de-escalation was more than one out of six patients reporting dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). A patient was evaluable at a given dose level, if had completed two cycles of treatment, or have withdrawn from the study as result of a DLT. Treatment continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or consent withdrawal. New treatment cycle was not started until absolute neutrophil count ≥1500/mL, platelet count ≥100 000/mL, serum bilirubin level ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal, creatinine clearance level ≥40 mL/min and recovery from other clinically significant non-haematologic toxicities (except alopecia) <Grade 2. If the patient did not meet these criteria, treatment was delayed until these requirements were met. Patients who required a treatment delay of >4 weeks were removed. Note: there was no reduction in the dose of folinic acid.

    EORTC QLQ-PAN26 scale (Cycle 4) [42]
    End point description
    The QLQ-PAN26 consists of seven hypothesized scales to assess pancreatic pain, digestive symptoms, altered bowel habit, hepatic, body image, satisfaction with health care, and sexuality. In addition, ten single items measure other issues related to pancreatic cancer. Users should be aware though that the scaling structure is still preliminary. All of the scales and single item measures range in score from 0 to 100.

It is hypothesized that these items will form a multi-item scale. The individual items and the multi-item scale should be scored such that higher scores represent more symptoms/problems (i.e., higher score = worse). 2. Motor scale: Items 7, 8, 11-15 and 19 address motor symptoms and problems. It is hypothesized that these items, excluding item 19, will form a multi-item scale. Item 19 is conditional on driving a car, and thus is not relevant to all patients. Thus, it should be treated as a separate item. 3. Autonomic scale: Items 16, 17 and 20 assess autonomic symptoms and problems. Items 16 and 17 are hypothesized to form a two-item scale. Item 20 is relevant only for men, and thus should be treated as a separate item.
