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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    16 Patients were planned + recruited in the university hospital Tuebingen. Date of first patient enrollment: 03.12.2015. Date of last patient enrollment: 04.12.2017.End of study:31.10.2018. Explanation: The system contains an error in the calculation of patients. There was no comparison arm! This was a single-arm study with 16 recruited patients!

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    20 patients were assessed, 2 patients were excluded due to extended disease,2 patients were excluded from HIPEC during surgery, 1 patient due to histologically unconfirmed PDAC diagnosis,the other for severe hemorrhagic diathesis with edema of the gut. A total of 16 patients with confirmed PDAC diagnosis received HIPEC after oncological resection.

    Full analysis
    Subject analysis set description
    Sample Size Calculation: 30-day mortality rate was the primary end point for statistical analysis. A one-sided 95% exact confidence interval (CI) and a one-sided exact binomial test were used to evaluate the null hypothesis that the observed 30-day mortality rate is ≥10% versus the alternative that the 30-day mortality rate is <10%. Given a required number of 16 patients, the probability that a critical event (death within 30 days of surgery) will occur in at least one patient is 81.5% if the incidence of critical events is ≥10% in the general population. The exact one-sided binomial test was used for statistical analysis.End point assessment: The primary endpoint analyzed was the incidence of death within the mITT population (all included patients who actually underwent planned HIPEC in addition to oncologic pancreatic resection) (with 95% CI). In addition, survival probability for 30-day versus minimum acceptable probability of π 0 = 0.9 was compared by one-sided binomial test.

    Adverse events information [1]
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Within 30 days after invention, no patient died or experienced ay adverse events higher than grade 3 that were related to HIPEC. Furthermore, treatment-related AEs were prospectively ducemnted and categorized as expected or unexpected.
    Assessment type
    Non-systematic
    Dictionary used for adverse event reporting
    Dictionary name

    Dictionary version
    4.0
    Frequency threshold for reporting non-serious adverse events: 0%
    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: Considering the results of this prospective phase I/II clinical trial a subsequent investigation of a potential clinical benefit (e.g., prolonged overall survival and progression-free survival) for patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma seems feasible and is also justifiable based on the results obtained, as the HIPEC procedure is not associated with a significant increase in short-term mortality and no signal of unexpected SAEs was evident in our study.
