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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.

    PSMA-PET metastatic progression-free survival (ppMPFS): Defined as the time from randomization to the (scan) date of metastatic progression by PSMA PET (as determined by BICR) or death from any cause.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    At screening, Month 6, Month 12, then annually until the end of the study. The frequency of PSMA PET assessments will increase as soon as participants reach PSA level ≥0.2 ng/mL a  PSMA-PET assessment will be  performed, and then every 6 months until PSMA-PET metastatic progression is confirmed or end of the study.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    - Time to PSA progression.
    - PSA response rate.
    - PSA levels at end of Week 26.
    - Time to loco-regional progression by PSMA-PET.
    - Overall survival and prostate cancer–specific survival.
    - Adverse events and serious adverse events.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    PSA assessment will be every 3 months during the study until primary endpoint. Survival status will be documented throughout the study; when participants reach the primary end-point, survival status will be obtained via telephone calls.
    Sponsor has established Standard Operating Procedures in conformity with regulatory requirements worldwide to ensure appropriate reporting of safety information; this clinical study will be conducted in accordance with those procedures.
    If interim analysis of primary end point is not statistically significant, all endpoints will be evaluated at the end of study. If IA is statistically significant and will lead to early study termination then all endpoints will be evaluated at this point.
