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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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.

    Main objective of the trial
    Primary objective: • Progression-free survival (PFS)
    Protection of trial subjects
    Pre-medication was administered to minimize adverse events and discomfort. A safety analysis focusing on toxicity, treatment duration, and dose intensity was done when the first 42 patients had completed two cycles of therapy.

    (5 mg/kg intravenously) on days 1 and 15 every 28 days. The bevacizumab dose was administered as a 30-min intravenous infusion before the TAS-102 dose. If dose reduction was needed during treatment because of toxicity, the dose of TAS-102 was reduced in increments of 5 mg/m². If patients had unacceptable toxicities related to bevacizumab, treatment with TAS-102 monotherapy could be continued according to protocol without bevacizumab. Dose reduction of bevacizumab was not recommended.
