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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    1. To confirm non-inferiority of Ferrotran-enhanced MRI compared with unenhanced MRI in sensitivity with a margin of 15% to detect any pelvic lymph node metastases in using histopathology after lymph node dissection as established reference method
    2. To determine positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy for Ferrotran-enhanced MRI and for unenhanced MRI in detecting normal size pelvic lymph node metastases
    3. To determine positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy for Ferrotran-enhanced MRI and for unenhanced MRI in detecting any pelvic lymph node metastases
    4. To evaluate the number and sites (gross- and sub-regions) of affected lymph nodes removed and not removed by ePLND comparing the unenhanced MRI at follow-up and the pre-surgery MRIs
    5. To assess the clinical safety and tolerability of a single slow drip Ferrotran infusion

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The co-primary endpoints for this study will observed sensitivity and observed specificity of the Ferrotran®-enhanced MRI compared with the unenhanced baseline MRI, in assessing the nodal status (metastatic / non-metastatic) of the patient with respect to the lymph nodes considered for lymphadenectomy.
    Specificity and sensitivity of Ferrotran®-enhanced and un-enhanced MRI will be obtained by comparison of each method to histopathology results, and not by direct comparison of the MRI methods with each other.
    The patient will be considered metastatic (patientpositive) if at least one lymph node is diagnosed as metastatic is confirmed in histopathology.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    end of study visit
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary endpoints:

    - Secondary efficacy endpoints:
    a) The number and regions of lymph node metastases present in the follow-up MRI in comparison to pre-surgery MRI (unenhanced and Ferrotran®-enhanced).
    b) Patients with additional dissection of lymph nodes outside the defined 8 pelvic regions due to Ferrotran® uptake i.e. pre-sacral, peri-rectal, para-aortic, which are not the standard of ePLND.
    The secondary efficacy endpoints will be assessed on the basis of the secondary efficacy variables as described below.

    - Endpoint for patient management:
    Impact of Ferrotran®-enhanced MRI on patient management
    Endpoint for inter reader and intra reader variability
    Inter reader and intra reader variability will be obtained by comparing readers results on primary reads and re-reads.

    - Endpoints for safety and tolerability:
    Frequency of occurrence and severity of abnormal findings in safety investigations (physical examination, vital signs, 12 lead ECG, clinical laboratory, AEs, concomitant medication) after a single slow drip Ferrotran® infusion.
    The assessment of safety and tolerability endpoints will be based on secondary safety and tolerability variables as described below.

    - Exploratory endpoints:
    Qualitative assessment of
    • Vessel visibility
    • Image quality
