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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate and explore the activity of lapatinib or placebo in the two treatment groups with respect to the complete response rate (per RECIST) at six months (24 weeks) from chemoradiation completion in subjects with locally advanced SCCHN.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Independent Data Monitoring Committee to review safety data (6-monthly). Monitoring and management of potential treatment-specific adverse events (liver toxicity, cardiac dysfunction, pneumonitis). Study drug interruptions reported to medical monitor if related to an adverse event, to provide ‘real time’ awareness of any unexpected issues. Protocol amendment after analysis of primary endpoint data to minimize study-specific procedures. Thorough screening and inclusion/exclusion criteria to ensure an appropriate patient population is enrolled. A radiotherapy (RT) quality assurance program was included: in order to standardize RT practice an independent vendor qualified each site, provided RT guidelines, and reviewed the RT plan for every subject.

    Number of participants (par.) with Complete Response (CR), as assessed by independent radiological review
    End point description
    Participants with CR are defined as those who achieved a complete tumor response at 6 months after the completion of the chemoradiation treatment (CRT), as assessed by independent radiological review. Tumor response was assessed using modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Per RECIST, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Data are based on Week 24 scans from participants receiving study treatment at that time and on those in follow-up. Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants who were randomized to study treatment, regardless of whether they actually received study medication.

    End point description
    PFS=the time from randomization until the earliest date of disease progression or death due to any cause, if sooner. Per RECIST, progressive disease=a >=20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions (TLs), or the appearance of >=1 new L, symptomatic progression and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs. For participants who did not progress or die at the time of reporting (data cut-off 1-Aug-2014), PFS data were censored at the time of the last investigator assessed radiological scan preceding the initiation of any alternative anti-cancer therapy. There were too few events to allow for the calculation of the upper limit of the confidence interval; therefore, 99999 was entered which represents NA.

    Participants with loco-regional recurrence were those who had progression of disease in the T and N sites. Per the Tumor, Node, and Metastases (TNM) staging of tumors: T describes the size of the tumor and whether it has invaded nearby tissue, and N describes regional lymph nodes that are involved. If a participant had progression in the T or N sites, then the participant was counted as having had an event of interest.

    End point description
    Loco-regional control is defined as the time from the date of randomization until progression in the T or N site. Participants who died or had secondary primary malignancies in the head and neck region outside of the T and N site or distant metastasis were not counted as an event and were instead treated as competing risks. Per the TNM staging of tumors: T describes the size of the tumor and whether it has invaded nearby tissue, and N describes regional lymph nodes that are involved. Due to the minimal events reported (data cut-off 30-Sep-2010), valid analysis could not be performed for loco-regional control rate.

    Participants were analyzed for the occurrence of distant metastasis (spread of a disease from one organ or part to another non-adjacent organ or part) after randomization in the study until data cut-off date 1-Aug-2014. Participants who died or had recurrence of disease in the T or N sites or secondary primary malignancies in the head and neck region outside of the original T and N site were not counted as an event and were instead treated as competing risks.

    Distant Relapse
    End point description
    Distant relapse is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the first occurrence of distant metastasis (spread of a disease from one organ or part to another non-adjacent organ of part). Participants who died or had recurrence of disease in the T or N sites or secondary primary malignancies in the head and neck region outside of the original T and N site were not counted as an event and were instead treated as competing risks. If a participant had a distant metastasis and then died, then the participant was counted as having had an event of interest. The cumulative incidence in the lapatinib arm did not reach 50% (most participants had not relapsed), so the median and the upper limit of the interquartile range were not observed; therefore, 99999 was entered which represents NA. The cumulative incidence remained below 25% in the placebo arm, so neither the median nor the inter-quartile range were observed; therefore, 99999 was entered which represents NA.

    Number of participants with Overall Response (OR), as assessed by the investigator
    End point description
    Participants with OR were those who achieved either a CR or partial response (PR) from the assessment of overall tumor response at 6 months (24 weeks) following completion of CRT (data cut-off 30-Sep-2010). Per RECIST, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the long diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as a reference, the baseline sum LD. Data are based on Week 24 scans from participants receiving study treatment at that time point.

    Plasma Proteome Analysis
    End point description
    Proteomic analyses of blood plasma samples were to be conducted to identify any changes in the proteome profile that could be related to the treatment response. Examination of pre-dosing (screening) plasma protein profiles could uncover novel blood-borne protein candidate biomarkers/profiles, which could be used to predict drug response. Plasma proteome data have not been analyzed (tested); thus, data are not available to disclose. Based on the negative outcome of Study EGF102988 (NCT00424255), no suitable analyses have been proposed for this small sample size.
