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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 description
    TTNT is defined as the time from randomization to the start of post-study treatment subsequent intervention: [TTNT = start date of subsequent intervention – randomization date + 1]. Subsequent intervention includes anticancer therapy, cancer-related surgery and local regional therapy. Participants who do not start any post-study treatment intervention will be censored at their last known date of being alive.

    End point description
    DMFS is defined as the time from randomization to evidence of a new distant metastasis not documented at time of randomization: [DMFS = a new distant metastasis documented date – randomization date + 1]. Participants who do not have any new distant metastasis will be censored at their last tumor assessment. No data were collected or analyzed for this outcome measure due to early termination of the study.

    		 Overall Response Rate (ORR)
    End point description
    ORR defined by RECIST v1.1 will be summarized by the number and percent of subjects who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on the investigator’s assessment. ORR will be compared between treatment arms using a logistic regression. No data were collected or analyzed for this outcome measure due to early termination of the study.

    Safety will be assessed primarily based on reported adverse events (AEs), medical events of interest (MEOIs), laboratory values, and concomitant medications reported from initiation of treatment with CMB305 or placebo. No data were collected or analyzed for this outcome measure due to early termination of the study.

    		 Quality of Life (QoL): EuroQol 5-Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) and EuroQol 5-Dimension Youth (EQ-5D-Y) Questionnaires
    End point description
    QoL evaluated using the EQ-5D-5L (participants ≥18 years of age) or the EQ-5D-Y (participants 12 to <18 years of age). EQ-5D-5L descriptive system is comprised of 5 dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort & anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: not at all (level 1), mild (level 2), moderate (level 3), severe (level 4), extreme/leading to incapacity (level 5), with highest level corresponding to worst outcome. Participants indicated their health state by choosing the appropriate level from each dimension. The 5 digit health states obtained for each dimension were then converted into a single median index value using the EQ-5D-5L crosswalk index value calculator as recommended by EuroQol group. In the EQ-VAS, participants recorded their health state on a scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). No data were collected or analyzed for this outcome measure due to early termination of the study.
