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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. To enter this trial, the oncologist has to confirm that the reason for entering the trial was advanced age alone or age and frailty. As an operational definition for frailty the G8 screening tool will be used upon inclusion of the patient in a standardized manner. Briefly, G8 is an established screening tool that includes seven items from the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and an age-related item (<80, 80 to 85, or 85 years). The total score can range from 0 to 17. The result on the G8 is considered abnormal if the score is ≤14, indicating a geriatric risk profile.
    Due to age or frailty, the patient might not be a candidate for standard full-dose combination therapy.
    2. Patients have to have histologically confirmed mCRC with unidimensionally measurable inoperable metastatic disease
    3. ECOG performance status of 2 or better.
    4. Life expectancy of 3 months or longer at enrolment
    5. Patients ≥70 years with no upper age limit
    6. Previous adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed if completed more than 6 months before randomisation
    7. Previous rectal (chemo)radiotherapy is allowed if completed more than 6 months before randomisation
    8. Hematological status:
    • Neutrophils (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L

    • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
    9. Adequate renal function:
    • Serum creatinine level ≤ 1.5 x upper limit normal (ULN)
    10. Adequate liver function:
    • Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit normal (ULN)
    • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN (unless liver metastases are present, then < 5 x ULN in that case)
    • AST and ALT < 3 x ULN (unless liver metastases are present then < 5 x ULN in that case)
    11. Proteinuria < 2+ (dipstick urinalysis) or ≤ 2 g/24hour
    12. Signed and dated informed consent, and willing and able to comply with protocol requirements
    13. Regular follow-up feasible
    14. Male patients with a partner of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception (Pearl Index < 1) during the course of the trial and at least 3 months after last administration of the study drug.

    • Severe cardiac arrhythmia
    • New York Heart Association grade ≥2 congestive heart failure
    • Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure >150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg), or history of hypertensive crisis, or hypertensive encephalopathy.
    • History of stroke or transient ischemic attack ≤6 months before start of study treatment
    • Coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft ≤6 months before start of study treatment.
    • Deep vein thrombosis or thromboembolic events ≤1 month before start of study treatment
