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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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
    Composite rate of pyrexia related events [1]
    End point description
    The composite rate of pyrexia related events was calculated as the total number of participants experiencing at least one of the three components of the composite endpoint (i.e., grade 3/4 pyrexia, hospitalization due to pyrexia, or permanent treatment discontinuation due to pyrexia), divided by the total number of participants treated in the study and multiplied by 100. Pyrexia is defined as fever ≥ 38 °C. Pyrexia events were graded by the investigator using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03 as Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (Life-threatening) and Grade 5 (Death)

    Relapse free survival (RFS) rate
    End point description
    RFS is defined as the time from the date of first dose of the study treatment to the date of the first documented disease recurrence or death due to any cause whichever comes first. Treatment emergent malignancies other than second melanomas were not considered as events. RFS rate is the estimated percent probability that a patient will remain event-free up to the specified time point. RFS rate was obtained from the Kaplan-Meier survival estimates. RFS was censored if no RFS event was observed before the first to occur between: (i) the analysis cut-off date, and (ii) the date when a new anti-cancer therapy is started. The censoring date was the date of the last adequate tumor assessment prior to data cut-off date/start of new anti-cancer therapy date.

    Overall Survival (OS) rate
    End point description
    OS is defined as the time from date of the first dose of study medication to date of death due to any cause, whichever comes first. If a patient was not known to have died, then OS rate is the estimated probability that a patient will remain event-free up to the specified time point. OS rate was obtained from the Kaplan-Meier survival estimates. OS was censored at the last contact date when the patient was known to be alive (on or before the cut-off date).

    Change From Baseline in Subject-reported Quality of Life (QoL) Assessed by Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy - Melanoma subscale Score (FACT-M MS)
    End point description
    The FACT-M is a questionnaire that assesses participant health-related quality of life. It includes a melanoma specific (FACT-M MS) subscale that consists in 16 items related to signs, symptoms, physical/social activities most relevant to participants with advanced-stage melanoma. Each item ranges from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). FACT-M MS score ranges from 0 to 64, with higher score indicating better quality of life. If a patient discontinued the study treatment at Month 1 or Month 2, then the follow-up assessments started at Month 3 follow-up and continued until Month 24 follow-up or at withdrawal, lost to follow-up, death, or end of study. If a patient discontinued the study treatment from Month 3 through Month 5, the follow-up assessments started at Month 6 follow-up. If a patient discontinued from Month 6 through Month 11, the follow-up assessments started from Month 12 follow-up.
