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   44155   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7326   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 study aim is to assess the immunological and clinical response in BCC treated with AFL or intratumoral nivolumab as monotherapy and compare with BCC treated with combination-therapy of AFL and the anti-PD1-drug Nivolumab (intratumoral). Primary objectives 1. To investigate the immunological response of AFL or intratumoral nivolumab as monotherapy and AFL+Nivolumab (intratumoral) in BCC 2. To investigate the clinical response of AFL or nivolumab (intratumoral) as monotherapy and AFL+Nivolumab in BCC
    Protection of trial subjects
    In case of Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs), the study sponsor will immediately inform The Danish Medicines Agency and the Regional Committee on Health Research Ethics according to detailed guidance on the collection, verification and presentation of adverse event/reaction reports arising from clinical trials on medicinal products for human use
