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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A randomized, open-label, 2-arm, multicentre, phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with trastuzumab / docetaxel compared with trastuzumab/docetaxel alone as first line treatment for patients with HER2 positive locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with trastuzumab/docetaxel versus compared with trastuzumab/docetaxel alone as first line treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The investigator ensured that this study was conducted in full conformance with the principles of the “Declaration of Helsinki” or with the laws and regulations of the country in which the research was conducted, whichever afforded the greater protection to the individual. The study fully adhered to the principles outlined in “Guideline for Good Clinical Practice” ICH Tripartite Guideline (January 1997) or with local law if it afforded greater protection to the patient. For EU/EEA countries, the investigator ensured compliance with the EU Clinical Trial Directive (2001/20/EC). In other countries where “Guideline for Good Clinical Practice” existed Roche and the investigators strictly ensured adherence to the stated provisions.

    The participants were randomized 1:1 using a block design randomization procedure with stratification (for prior adjuvant/neo-adjuvant taxane, trastuzumab as part of adjuvant treatment versus no trastuzumab, ER/PgR hormone receptor status and measurable disease) to avoid an imbalance of important prognostic factors.

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
    End point description
    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to time of first documented disease progression (unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions) or death, whichever occurred first as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.0 (RECIST v1.0). Primary PFS variable was defined based on the investigators’ assessments and the statistical conclusions on the primary efficacy end point were based on investigator assessed PFS. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Intent-to-treat (ITT) population: All randomized participants, regardless of whether they actually received study treatment or not.

    Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Generic (FACT-G) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) Subscale Scores
    End point description
    FACT-G is core questionnaire of Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) measurement system to evaluate quality of life (QoL) in cancer population. FACT-G consisted of 27 questions grouped in 4 domains of general Health-Related QoL (HRQoL): Physical Well-being (PWB), Social/Family Well-Being (SWB), Emotional Well-Being (EWB) and Functional Well-Being (FWB); each ranged from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). FACT-G ranged between 0-108. Since questions could be reversed coded, as appropriate, before calculating FACT-G, 0 and 108 could be considered worst and best health states. FACT-B is used for assessment of HRQoL in participants with breast cancer. It consists of 36 items, summarized to 5 subscales: 7 items for each physical, functional, social/family; all 3 ranged from 0-28, emotional (6 items) ranged from 0-24, and breast cancer subscale (9 items) ranged from 0-36. All single-item measures ranges from 0-144. High score represents a better QoL. ITT population.

    Change From Baseline for FACT-G and FACT-B
    End point description
    FACT-G is core questionnaire of FACIT measurement system to evaluate QoL in cancer population. FACT-G consisted of 27 questions grouped in 4 domains of general HRQoL: PWB, SWB, EWB and FWB; each ranged from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). FACT-G ranged between 0-108. Since questions could be reversed coded, as appropriate, before calculating FACT-G, 0 and 108 could be considered worst and best health states. FACT -B is used for assessment of HRQoL in participants with breast cancer. It consists of 36 items, summarized to 5 subscales: 7 items for each physical, functional, social/family; all 3 ranged from 0-28, emotional (6 items) ranged from 0-24, and breast cancer subscale (9 items) ranged from 0-36. All single-item measures ranges from 0-144. High score represents a better QoL. ITT population.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    15 Jan 2007
    - Implemented central human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) testing to ensure greater consistency in determination of HER2 status. - Increased sample size to accommodate an assessment of PFS by an Independent Review Committee (not all participants could be assessed by such a procedure) for an intended US filing. - Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) was listed as an adverse event of special interest to ensure instances of this rare event were properly detected. - Inclusion criterion for participants who had received adjuvant trastuzumab treatment was modified to better reflect the clinical reality after the earlier than expected approval of this treatment. The washout period for prior hormone treatment was also extended. - The definition of inadequate liver function in the exclusion criteria was changed for better alignment with the labeling for docetaxel and the duration of subsequent trastuzumab administration was extended for greater compliance with the dosing recommendations at the time. - Further clarifications and correction of typographical errors.
    06 Mar 2009
    - Monitoring of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was extended on the recommendation of the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). - Exploratory interim analyses on PFS and OS were added on the request of the DSMB to enable an assessment of the risk/benefit ratio. - Provision was made for participants randomized to the Trastuzumab+Docetaxel arm to receive bevacizumab after the end of the study if considered appropriate by DSMB on the basis of the interim analyses. - Further clarifications were made and typographical errors were corrected.
