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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint for this study is Disease Control Rate at 6 months (week 24) according RECIST 1.1 and iRANO [30] as assessed by the treating physicians. The analysis of the primary endpoint will be done when all patients, who are still on-treatment, have had, at least, 2 evaluations after baseline.

    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The following secondary endpoints should be evaluated
    • Overall and progression-free survival
    • Percentage of patients in whom stereotactic irradiation or surgery of all metasta-ses becomes applicable after partial tumor remission
    • Tolerability according to NCI-CTCAE-Criteria (version 4.0)
