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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    An open-label, single-arm, rater-blinded, multicenter phase 1/2 study to assess safety and diagnostic accuracy and radiotherapeutic implications of pre-operative Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging in comparison to histopathology, in newly-diagnosed prostate cancer (PCA) patients at high risk for metastasis, scheduled for radical prostatectomy (RP) with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (EPLND).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    1. To assess the ability of Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging to detect prostate cancer tissue within a. the prostate gland on level of quadrant (or octant if possible) and b. pelvic lymph node metastases on level of 8 defined sub-regions. 2. To assess the clinical safety of Ga-68-PSMA-11.
    Protection of trial subjects
    To minimise irradiation of the urinary bladder, subjects will be encouraged to increase fluid intake and to void frequently through the first day after administration.
    Background therapy
    All patients were scheduled for radical prostatectomy (RP) with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (EPLND).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients were recruited in 9 uro-oncological sites in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with access to a radiopharmaceutical laboratory, experienced to prepare 68Ga-labelled compounds, and high-quality PET/CT imaging.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. High risk for metastasis, defined by either: a. stadium cT3 according to TNM classification, or b. Gleason Score >7, or c. PSA >20 ng/mL. Patient scheduled for radical prostatectomy (RP) with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (EPLND) according to current guidelines 7–60 days after

    Blinding implementation details
    Histology analysis were made centrally by a single pathologist blind to imaging results. Conversely, PET/CT (PET/MR) images were analysed by two central readers plus a central adjudication reader blind to histology results.
