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.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    1) PFS, defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per RECIST1.1 (by blinded central vendor) or death
    due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
    2) OS, defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
    1) Sopravvivenza libera da progressione (PFS) – RECIST 1.1 valutati mediante BICR, definita come l’intervallo di tempo dalla randomizzazione alla prima progressione documentata della malattia o al decesso per qualsiasi causa, a seconda di quale evento si verifichi prima.
    2) Sopravvivenza complessiva, definita come l’intervallo di tempo tra la randomizzazione e il decesso per qualunque causa.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    To be performed when approximately 335 OS events (63% of expected total OS events) are observed. With 21 months enrollment, the IA1 is expected approximately at Month 27, at which time approximately 474 PFS events are expected to have been accumulated.
    Da eseguire quando circa 335 eventi di OS (il 63% degli eventi OS previsti) sono stati osservati. Con 21 mesi di arruolamento, l'IA1 è atteso all'incirca al 27° mese, momento in cui si prevede che circa 474 eventi PFS siano stati accumulati.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    1) Objective Response (OR): Complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).
    2) Duration of Response (DOR) defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR or PR until the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
    3) Disease Control (DC), defined as a best overall response of CR, PR, orstable disease (SD). SD must be achieved at >=6 weeks after randomization to be considered best overall response.
    4) Adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), immune-related (irAEs), and hepatic AEs.
    5) Study intervention discontinuations due to AEs.

    8) PFS, OR, DOR, DCR, and time to disease progression (TTP)
    1) Risposta obiettiva (OR): Risposta Completa (CR) o Risposta Parziale (PR).
    2) Durata della risposta (DOR) definita come l’intervallo di tempo dalla prima evidenza documentata di CR o PR fino a progressione della malattia o decesso per qualsiasi causa, a seconda di quale evento si verifichi prima.
    3) Controllo della malattia (DC), definita come la migliore risposta complessiva di CR, PR o di malattia stabile (SD). La SD deve essere raggiunta a >= 6 settimane dopo la
    randomizzazione per essere considerata la migliore risposta complessiva.
    4) Eventi Avversi (EA), EA seri, EA immuno-correlati e EA epatici.
    5) Discontinuazione del trattamento a causa dell'insorgenza di EAs.

    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
