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 provide access to sunitinib treatment for subjects who had participated in previous “parent” or extension sunitinib protocols and who had the potential as judged by the investigator to derive clinical benefit from sunitinib treatment. • To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of sunitinib. • To assess the duration of clinical benefit for subjects taking sunitinib.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was designed and monitored in accordance with Pfizer’s and the contract research organization's standard operating procedures (SOPs), which comply with the ethical principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) as required by the major regulatory authorities, and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Pfizer Compliance Oversight Leads (COLs) provided study and site level oversight to ensure that the study was delivered to high quality standards. COLs performed on-site and remote oversight to assess monitoring effectiveness and ensure compliance with the study protocol by investigational sites according to ICH-GCP, applicable SOPs, and local regulations.
    Background therapy
    This was an open-label continuation or extension protocol. The protocol permitted continued access to sunitinib for participants who had participated in a previous parent or extension sunitinib study and who had been judged by the investigator to have had the potential to derive clinical benefit from continuing sunitinib dosing.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    In this open-label extension study, access to sunitinib was provided to participants who had participated in a previous parent study and who had been judged by the investigator to have likely clinical benefit from continuing sunitinib dosing.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants receiving sunitinib in previous studies began treatment in this study with the last dose they were taking in the parent or extension study. Participants were to continue to access sunitinib on this protocol as long as there was evidence of disease control and/or clinical benefit in the judgment of the investigator.

    Pre-assignment period milestones
    Number of subjects started
    226 [1]
    Number of subjects completed

    Pre-assignment subject non-completion reasons
    Reason: Number of subjects
    Long-time follow-up of previous study: 3
    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Of the 226 participants screened, 3 participants were not treated since they were only in long-time follow-up of their parent study. Hence, 223 participants were treated and received at least 1 dose of study drug.

Participants on regimens other than single-agent sunitinib on continuous dosing followed the schedule of activities from their parent or extension protocol. Sunitinib-naïve participants (ie, those not treated with sunitinib in the previous parent study) received a starting dose of 37.5 mg sunitinib once daily.
