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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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.3Principal inclusion criteria
    To be eligible for inclusion into this study, the subjects must fulfil all of the following
    criteria:

A caliper can be used for the measurement of superficial cutaneous metastases which are > 10 mm.
    • Patients must be able to undergo either contrast-enhanced CT-scan or contrastenhanced MRI scan for tumor assessment
    • Only one previous systemic treatment (excluding prior systemic treatment as
    postoperative adjuvant therapy) is allowed and should have been terminated > 4

    • Patients must have recovered from the toxicity of any previously used treatment.
    All Adverse events of previous systemic treatment must have resolved to < grade I Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events
    • ECOG Performance Status < 1
    • Age > 18 years, of either sex
    • Female patients with childbearing potential must be using a hormonal contraceptive, intra-uterine device, diaphragm with spermicide or condom with
    spermicide for the duration of the study. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urinary hCG pregnancy test within 7 days prior to Study Day 1
    • Male patients, who are not surgically sterile, must use a condom with spermicide
    for the duration of the study and 3 months thereafter
    • Have given written informed consent, prior to any study related procedure not part of the patient’s normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    To be eligible for inclusion in this study the subjects must not meet any of the following criteria:
    • Have participated in any other investigational study or received an experimental
    therapeutic procedure considered to interfere with the study in the 4 weeks preceding SD1
    • History of brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease
    • Bone-only metastatic disease
    • Use of prohibited medication due to CYP3A4 metabolism of APO866, as specified in Section 6.6.2. concomitant use of these drugs will not be allowed during the study.
    • Uncontrolled medical conditions, requiring surgical or pharmacological treatment (exceptions must be approved by the Medical Responsible of the study).
    • Serious concomitant disease (e.g. significant cardiac disease)

    remission for < 5 years, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma or cervical cancer in situ
    • Primary or acquired thrombocytopenia
    • Inadequate bone marrow reserve: WBC < 3.5x109/L, neutrophils < 1.0x109/L,
    thrombocytes < 100x109/L, Hb < 10.0 g/dL or coagulation abnormalities
    • Inadequate liver function: total bilirubin > 1.5 x upper limit of normal values
    (ULN), AST, ALT, or alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 x ULN
    • Have inadequate renal function, defined by serum creatinine > 1.5x ULN
    • Retinopathy, history of retinal laser surgery, or an ERG < 50% of normal
    • Pregnant of lactating female
    • Abuse of alcohol or other recreational drugs
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy endpoint is to determine the tumor response rate as the proportion of eligible patients with stage IV cutaneous melanoma or stage III not amenable to surgery, who have an objective tumor response (complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD)) to treatment with APO866.
