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   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The main aim of the trial is to investigate whether the best treatment, in relation to progression free survival, is to give full dose standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine) or reduced dose combination chemotherapy (gemcitabin plus nab-paclitaxel) to frail patients with non-resectable pancreatic cancer
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    We also want to investigate whether the best treatment, in relation to overall survival and response rate is to give full dose standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine) or reduced dose combination chemotherapy (gemcitabin plus nab-paclitaxel) to frail patients with non-resectable pancreatic cancer.
    Moreover to investigate the number of hospitalizations, quality of life and cumulative worst toxicity during treatment.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria

    • Fertile patients must use adequate contraceptives
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Patients eligible for downstaging/preoperative chemotherapy followed by resection or local ablation or irradiation

    • Concurrent, non-curatively treated malignant neoplasm other than pancreatic adenocarcinoma
    • Concurrent treatment with any other anti-cancer therapy
    • Pregnant or breast-feeding patients
    • Patients clearly intending to withdraw from the study if not randomized in the willing arm or patients who cannot be regularly followed up for psychological, social, familiar, or geographic reasons.
