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   44366   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7389   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.

    End point title
    Comparison of Progression Free Survival between treatment arms (Daratumumab /Pomalidomide /Dexamethasone vs Pomalidomide / Dexamethasone)
    End point description
    Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time, in months, from randomization to the date of the first documented disease progression (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. PFS2 is defined as the time, in months, from randomization to the date of the first documented disease progression (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, after the next line of therapy. PD is assessed by the investigator based on the analysis of serum and urine protein electrophoresis (sPEP and uPEP), serum and urine immunofixation (sIFE and uIFE), serum free light chain protein (sFLC),corrected serum calcium assessment, imaging and bone marrow assessments as per modified IMWG guidelines.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    PFS is assessed monthly from randomization until PD or death, whichever occurs first (approximately up to 3 years). PFS2 is assessed monthly from randomization until PD or death, whichever occurs first (approximately up to 5 years).
