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.

    Main objective of the trial
    To assess efficacy, as measured by the time to treatment failure (TTF), of the first-line combination treatment with vinorelbine, cyclophosphamide and capecitabine (VEX) in comparison with paclitaxel monotherapy in ER+/HER2–, metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer patients, who have progressed under previous endocrine therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Participating institutions’ ethics committees or Institutional Review Boards approved the trial according to local laws and regulations. All patients gave written informed consent, and the trial was performed in compliance with the Helsinki Declaration. The Data Safety and Monitoring Board reviewed the data from this research throughout the study.

    Disease Control
    End point description
    Defined as best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) (or non-CR/non-PD in the case of non-measurable disease only) lasting for at least 24 weeks (at least 2 scans), measured from randomization until first documentation of progressive disease. Best overall response was defined as best response recorded from randomization across all time points until disease progression. Confirmation of partial or complete response by an additional scan was not requested in this trial. Disease response and progression were assessed according to the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST version 1.1)
    End point type
    Secondary
    End point timeframe
    Tumor measurements were assessed at baseline, and every 12 weeks (± 2 weeks) from randomization until first disease progression on the basis of clinical and radiological tumor assessments, on average approximately 9 months.

    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse Events (AEs) were collected from the first dose of trial medication, at day 1 of every treatment cycle, until 28 days after all treatment discontinuation (end of treatment visit), regardless of whether it is considered related to a medication.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    AEs were collected from the first dose of trial medication until 28 days after all treatment discontinuation (EOT visit), regardless of whether it is considered related to a medication. The main criterion for tolerability is the occurrence of toxicities and adverse events.
