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   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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.

    Optimizing MATRix as remission induction in PCNSL:
    De-escalated induction treatment in newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma
    – a randomized phase III trial
    Optimierung der Induktionstherapie mit MATRix (Methotrexat, Ara-C, Thiotepa, Rituximab) durch De-Eskalation bei primären ZNS-Lymphomen - eine randomisierte Phase III Studie
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    Optimizing MATRix, a combination of Methotrexate, Ara-C, Thiotepa and Rituximab given as an induction therapy, de-escalated in duration and total drug dose in comparison to the standard induction therapy and both treatments followed by a high dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation. The therapy is for patients with newly diagnosed primary lymphoma of the central nervous system.
    Optimierung einer in Dauer und Gesamtdosis abgeschwächten, einleitenden Therapie mit MATRix, einer Medikamentenkombination, bestehend aus Methotrexat, ARA-C, Thiotepa und Rituximab im Vergleich zur Standard Einleitungstherapie; beiden folgt eine Hochdosistherapie und autologe Stammzelltransplantation. Die Behandlung ist für Patienten mit neu diagnostizierten primären Lymphomen des zentralen Nervensystems.

    D.8 Information on Placebo
    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the central nervous system is a rare disorder confined to the cerebral parenchyma, leptomeninges, eyes or spinal cord. It accounts for 4 to 6% of all Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and for 3 to 4% of all primary brain tumors. Incidence of PCNSL has increased over the past 30 years, particularly in immunocompetent individuals.
    With a median survival of 3 months in untreated individuals, prognosis of PCNSL resembles that of systemic high-grade NHL.
    Primäres diffuses großes B-Zell-Lymphom (DLBCL) des zentralen Nervensystems ist eine seltene Erkrankung der zerebalen Parenchyma, Leptomeninges, der Augen oder des Rückenmarks. Sie macht 4-6% aller Non-Hodgkin Lymphome (NHL) und 3-4% aller primären Hirntumore aus. Die Inzidenz von PZNSL ist in den vergangenen 30 Jahren angestiegen vor allem bei immunkompeten Patienten. Die durchschnittliche Überlebensrate bei unbehandelten Patienten liegt bei 3 Monaten.
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of central nervous system, a rare disorder confined to the brain and spinal cord. The disease may be fatal within a short period of time when remained untreated.
    ZNSNHL ist eine seltene Erkrankung des lymphat. Systems im Bereich Gehirn/Rückenmark. Es handelt sich dabei um bösartiger Immunzellen. Die Krankheit kann unbehandelt in kurzer Zeit zum Tode führen.

    Primäres Ziel: Nachweis der Überlegenheit der deeskalierten Induktion gefolgt von einer autologen Stammzelltransplantation im Vergleich zum Behandlungsstandard MATRix hinsichtlich des Endpunktes ereignisfreies Überleben.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Secondary: To compare overall survival, progression free survival, remission rate prior to consolidation and after consolidation, complication rate, neurocognitive impairment and quality of life between both treatment arms
    Sekundäres Ziel: Der Vergleich zwischen den beiden Behandlungsarmen hinsichtlich des Gesamtüberlebens, des progressionsfreies Überlebens, der Remissionsrate vor und nach der Konsolidierungstherapie, der Komplikationsrate, neurokognitiver Beeinträchtigungen und der Lebensqualität.
