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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To determine whether adjuvant treatment with 160 mg ASA once daily

    colorectal cancer with somatic alterations in the PIK3CA (exon 9 and 20)
    compared with placebo.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To determine whether adjuvant treatment with 160 mg ASA once daily
    for 3 years can improve Disease-Free Survival (DFS) in patients with
    colorectal cancer with somatic alterations in the PIK3CA (exon 9 and 20)
    compared with placebo.
    To determine whether adjuvant treatment with 160 mg ASA once daily
    for 3 years can improve DFS in patients with colorectal cancer with
    somatic alterations in the PIK3CA (other than exon 9 and 20), PIK3R1 or
    PTEN genes compared with placebo.
    To determine whether adjuvant treatment with 160 mg ASA once daily
    for 3 years can improve TTR in patients with colorectal cancer with
    somatic alterations in the PIK3CA (other than exon 9 and 20), PIK3R1 or
    PTEN genes compared with placebo
    To compare overall survival (OS) at 5 years from randomization in
    patients receiving low-dose ASA versus placebo.
    To assess overall safety and tolerability.
