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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 compare the PFS of melflufen plus dexamethasone (Arm A) versus pomalidomide plus dexamethasone (Arm B) as assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC) according to the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC).
    Confrontare la PFS di melflufen + desametasone (Braccio A) rispetto a pomalidomide + desametasone (Braccio B) secondo quanto valutato dal Comitato di revisione indipendente (IRC) in base ai criteri IMWG-URC (International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Key Secondary Objectives
    - To assess and compare the overall response rate (ORR), i.e., proportion of patients with = PR (stringent complete response [sCR], complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR] and partial response [PR]) as best response in Arm A versus Arm B
    - To assess and compare duration of response (DOR) in patients with = PR (sCR, CR, VGPR, PR) as best response in Arm A versus Arm B
    - To assess and compare overall survival (OS) in Arm A versus Arm B
    - To assess and compare the safety and tolerability in Arm A and Arm B
    • Valutare e confrontare il tasso di risposta globale (ORR), ossia la percentuale di pazienti con miglior risposta = PR (risposta completa stringente [sCR], risposta completa [CR], risposta parziale molto buona [VGPR] e risposta parziale [PR]), tra Braccio A e B.
    • Valutare e confrontare la durata della risposta (DOR) nei pazienti con miglior risposta = PR (sCR, CR, VGPR, PR) tra Braccio A e B.
    • Valutare e confrontare la sopravvivenza globale (OS) tra Braccio A e B.
    • Valutare e confrontare la sicurezza e la tollerabilità tra Braccio A e B.
