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.

    3. Risk group: All risk groups (IPI 0 to 5)
    4. Histology: Diagnosis of aggressive Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, based on an excisional biopsy of a lymph node or on an appropriate sample of a lymph node or of an extranodal involvement at initial diagnosis or relapse or progression. The entities treated in the study will be based on the WHO 2017 classification.
    5. Performance status: Performance status ECOG 0 – 2.
    6. Previous therapy: Patients must have only one prior chemotherapy regimen including an anthracycline. The last cytotoxic drug must be given at least four weeks before entering the study. Rituximab must be part of the first-line regimen in case of B-cell lymphoma. Patients may have received prior radiation therapy as part of their first-line therapy.
