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   44394   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7406   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the efficacy of nal-IRI in gemcitabine pre-treated patients with cholangiocarcinoma.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was planned, analyzed and conducted according to the study protocol and in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) ‚Guideline for Good Clinical Practice E6(R2)‘, CPMP/ICH/135/95, based on the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (1964) and its October 2013 amendment (Fortaleza,Brazil). The study was duly conducted in compliance with the German Arzneimittelgesetz (AMG; German Drug Law), and the corresponding EU Directive 2001/20/EC. Subjects were fully informed regarding all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject.

    End point title
    Progression-free survival
    End point description
    Subjects who died without reported progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death. If neither death nor progression were observed during the study, PFS data was censored at the last valid tumor assessment. Subjects who did not have any on-study tumor assessments and did not die were censored on the date they were randomized. Subjects who started any subsequent anticancer therapy without prior reported progression were censored at the last evaluable tumor assessment prior to or on the date of initiation of the subsequent anticancer therapy.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    PFS was defined as the number of months from the date of randomization to the date of progression per RECIST v1.1 or death by any cause, whichever occurred earlier.

    With this amemdment, the nominal dose of nal-IRI was changed from 80 mg/m2 to 70 mg/m2. The context of this amendment was that the nal-IRI standard dose had always been given as 70 mg/m2 in the US, which describes the dose of active substance as anhydrous free base. By contrast, for the EU, the standard dose had been described as 80 mg/m2 irinotecan hydrochloride. In 2020, the MAH aligned the wording of the dosing information globally to 70 mg/m2 anhydrous free base, and updated all prescribing information accordingly. The amendment of the study's protocol was neccessary to align the protocol with up to date prescribing information.
