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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to investigate whether a vaccination regimen with multiple subcutaneous (SC) administrations of RV001 Vaccine 0.1 mg/mL (RV001V) can reduce prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression compared to the control group.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The DMC will be advisory to the Sponsor. The DMC will periodically monitor the accumulating data from the trial, including central laboratory data, and advise the Sponsor regarding the continuing safety of trial subjects and thoseyet to be recruited to the trial, as well as the continuing validity. The primary charge of the DMC is to monitor the study for participant safety. DMC responsibilities include; - Protect the safety of the study participants; - Review and evaluate ad hoc safety issues concerning the study at the request of the sponsor; - Make recommendations to the sponsor concerning continuation, termination, or other modifications of the study based on the observed beneficial or adverse effects of the study; - Consider factors external to the study when relevant information becomes available, such as scientific or therapeutic developments that may have an impact on participant safety, scientific integrity, or the ethics of conducting the study

    Screening details
    Of the 257 subjects who signed the written informed consent form (IC), 192 subjects completed the screening and were enrolled in the study. For the 65 patients who were not eligible for participation, the major reason was BCR after the last definitive treatment, distant metastasis or locoregional recurrence.

    End point description
    The primary endpoint was defined as the time from randomization until doubling of PSA from the baseline value, clinical recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. When the subject reached a primary endpoint, he continued into the extended follow up (E-FU) phase for safety monitoring until the study was terminated 36 months after first subject’s first injection. At the time of the primary analysis all subjects who have not yet reached the primary endpoint continued into E-FU for safety until study termination.

This relates to the above reasons re. the exploratory endpoint. - Section 6.1: Collection of oncology history including oncotype DX and radiation dose, in case the patient has received radiation therapy as part of previous curative treatment, has been added. This is based on recommendation from FDA received at a recent pre-IND meeting. - Section 7.3 and 9.1.1: Specification of collection of AEs/SAEs during follow up and E-follow up. AEs/SAEs are collected for 3 months post End of Treatment visit. - Section 9.11.1: Description of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) has been removed. - Section 13.1: Precision of what can be considered source document in accordance with GCP. - Section 14: Change in the publication strategy rec
