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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   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
    To demonstrate the antiproliferative and/or pro-apoptotic activity of denosumab in early breast cancer. If the Hypothesis of this study is proven right it will substantiate and provide rationale to the development of denosumab as an ant-cancer drug in breast cancer.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects diagnosed with early, resectable, Her-2 negative breast cancer are candidates to this study. Once the informed consent form of this study is signed by the patients, a tumor biopsy and blood sample will be obtained (biopsy A).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects meeting the study eligibility criteria as assessed during the screening period should be randomized 2:1 into the two described cohorts within 7 days of planned initiation of study treatment.

    Notes
    [2] - Denosumab did not reduce tumor cell proliferation compared with control arm. Quantifications were performed blindly by two independent pathologists specialized in breast cancer. The percentage of tumor cells that express Ki67 increased in the experimental arm, but also in the control arm.
