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   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   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.

    L’obiettivo primario di questa sperimentazione è valutare l’efficacia della combinazione di almeno 5 anni di terapia endocrina e 2 anni di palbociclib come trattamento adiuvante sistemico al posto della chemioterapia adiuvante seguita da terapia endocrina in pazienti anziani con carcinoma mammario in fase iniziale, in stadio II-III, positivo per il recettore degli estrogeni/negativo per il recettore epidermico umano 2 (ER+/HER2-).
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial

    - To evaluate toxicity in both arms
    - To evaluate the treatment discontinuation and dose reduction rates in both arms
    - To assess the reasons for treatment discontinuation
    - To evaluate completion of oral therapy in the experimental arm
    - To assess the evolution of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in both arms
    - To assess the evolution, prognostic and predictive effects of geriatric assessment in both arms
    - Valutare l’efficacia in relazione a vari endpoint di tempo all’evento (intervallo libero da recidiva a distanza [DRFI], sopravvivenza specifica per il carcinoma mammario [BCSS], sopravvivenza complessiva [OS]) a 3, 6 e 10 anni in entrambi i bracci.
    - Valutare la tossicità in entrambi i bracci.
    - Valutare i tassi di interruzione del trattamento e di riduzione della dose in entrambi i bracci.
    - Valutare i motivi per l’interruzione del trattamento.
    - Valutare il completamento della terapia orale nel braccio sperimentale.
    - Valutare l’evoluzione della qualità della vita correlata alla salute (HRQoL) in entrambi i bracci.
    - Valutare l’evoluzione, nonché gli effetti prognostici e predittivi della valutazione geriatrica in entrambi i bracci.
