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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivoceranib plus best supportive care (BSC) compared to placebo plus BSC in participants with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer (GC).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guideline developed by the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). The clinical trial was also conducted in compliance with Declaration of Helsinki, protocol, Standard specified in the Section 3 in the Article 14 and the Section 2 in the Article 80 in Pharmaceutical Law, Notification 28 from MHLW dated March 27th, 1997 “Ordinance on the criteria for the implementation of clinical trials of the drug (GCP)”.

    End point description
    EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer specific Questionnaire with 30 questions for assessing the health-related QOL of cancer participants. The questionnaire incorporates 5 functional scales, 4 symptom scales, a global QOL scale, and single items for the assessment of additional systems commonly reported by cancer participants. All items are scored on 4-point Likert scales, ranging from 1 (‘not at all’) to 4 (‘very much’), with the exception of 2 items in the global QOL scale which use modified 7-point linear analog scales. All scores and single-items were transformed to a scale of 0 to 100. For the functioning scales, a higher score indicated greater functioning and for the symptom scales, a higher score indicated a greater symptom burden. The ITT set consisted of data from all participants who were randomized. In the ITT set, participants were included in the group to which they were randomized. Overall number of participants indicates total number of participants.

    EORTC QLQ-STO22 is a 22-item gastric cancer-specific questionnaire-integrating system for assessing the health-related QOL of gastric cancer participants. Most questions use 4-point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'; 1 question was a yes or no answer). A linear transformation was used to standardize all scores and single-items to a scale of 0 to 100. For the functioning scales, a higher score indicates greater functioning and for the symptom scales, a higher score indicates a greater symptom burden. The ITT set consisted of data from all participants who were randomized. In the ITT set, participants were included in the group to which they were randomized. Overall number of participants indicates total at baseline, number of participants analyzed indicates number of participants with evaluable data.

The descriptive system comprises the 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and each dimension has 5 levels. The VAS is designed to rate the participant's current health state on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst imaginable health state and 100 represents the best imaginable health state. The ITT set consisted of data from all participants who were randomized. In the ITT set, participants were included in the group to which they were randomized.
