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   44383   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7396   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
    The main objective of this proof-of-concept exploratory clinical trial is to test the hypothesis that a co-medication with lithium carbonate (Quilonum® retard) is able to reduce the burden of chemotherapy induced neuropathy (CIN) as measured by the “Total Neuropathy Score reduced” (TNSr) in breast cancer patients undergoing neurotoxic chemotherapy with weekly (q1w) or biweekly (q2w) paclitaxel infusions.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ICH E6 (R2) Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), with applicable local regulations (including European Directive 2001/20/EC, German Medicinal Products Act (AMG)), and with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki (version 2013). The Investigator also had to comply with all applicable privacy regulations (e.g., Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR)).
    Background therapy
    Chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy (CIPN) and postchemotherapy cognitive impairment (PCCI) are frequent side effects of paclitaxel treatment. CIPN/PCCI are potentially irreversible, reduce quality of life and often lead to treatment limitations, which affect patients’ outcome. We previously demonstrated that paclitaxel enhances an interaction of tthe Neuronal calcium sensor-1 protein (NCS-1) with the Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R), which disrupts calcium homeostasis and triggers neuronal cell death via the calcium-dependent protease calpain in dorsal root ganglia neurons and neuronal precursor cells. Prophylactic treatment of rodents with lithium inhibits the NCS1-InsP3R interaction and ameliorates paclitaxel-induced polyneuropathy and cognitive impairment, which is in part supported by limited retrospective clinical data in patients treated with lithium carbonate at the time of chemotherapy. Currently no data are available from a prospective clinical trial to demonstrate its efficacy.

    Statistical analysis description
    A linear mixed model was calculated to analyze the intervention effect, with the study centers as clusters. Adjustments were made for baseline TNSr values and cumulative chemotherapy doses as per the statistical analysis plan. Missing values were imputed using multiple imputation by chained equations. Thirty data sets were generated, and the results were pooled. On average, the lithium carbonate group had a TNSr value that was 0.5 points lower (90% CI: -0.6 to 1.6) than the placebo group at two
