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   44335   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
    `Male or female patients aged 18 years or greater. `Patients with histopathologically confirmed metastatic carcinoid tumors of the digestive system with extent of disease determined by CT scan or MRI. `Patients must have inadequate control of symptoms (i.e. diarrhea and/or flushing) while receiving treatment with the maximum approved dose of a currently available somatostatin analogue for at least a 3 months prior to study entry (as specified in Table 4-1). Inadequate control is defined by the groups below: `Diarrhea and Flushing group (D+F): patients with a daily mean of ¥ 4 bowel movements and a total of ¥ 5 flushing episodes over a two-week period (14 days); while receiving treatment with the maximum approved dose of a currently available somatostatin analogue for at least a 3 month period prior to study entry (as specified in Table 4-1). `Predominantly Diarrhea group (D): patients with a daily mean of ¥ 4 bowel movements and a total number of < 5 flushing episodes over a two-week period while receiving treatment with the maximum approved dose of a currently available somatostatin analogue for at least a 3 month period prior to study entry. `Predominantly Flushing group (F): patients with ¥ 14 flushing episodes and a daily mean of < 4 bowel movements over a two-week period while receiving treatment with the maximum approved dose of a currently available somatostatin analogue for at least a 3 month period prior to study entry. `Patients must observe the following intervals between the last injection of their previous treatment and the first injection of study drug: Octreotide LAR =28 days; Octreotide s.c. =8 hours; Lanreotide Autogel = 28 days; Lanreotide SR = 14 days. `Patients with measurable or evaluable disease per RECIST criteria. `Karnofsky Performance Status ¥ 60 (Requires occasional assistance, but is able to care for most of his personal needs, or better). ` Patients with a known history of impaired fasting glucose or diabetes mellitus (DM) may be included, however blood glucose and antidiabetic treatment must be monitored closely throughout the trial and adjusted as necessary (see Section 6.6.2.1). ` Female patients of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at baseline. ` Patients for whom written informed consent to participate in the study has been obtained. Baseline lab values for adequate organ function:• Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 × 10^9/L •Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL • Platelets ≥100 × 10^9/L • Hepatic: Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, ≤3 × ULN without liver metastases, ≤5 × ULN if documented liver metastases. • Renal: Serum creatinine ≤2 mg/dL, calculated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min • Potassium: Serum potassium ≥ 3.5 mEq/L
    Entrambi i sessi ed eta` uguale o superiore a 18 anni. Diagnosi confermata istopatologicamente (da biopsia di lesione primitiva o metastatica) di tumori carcinoidi metastatici dell'apparato digerente con estensione della malattia determinata da tomografia assiale computerizzata (TAC) o risonanza magnetica nucleare (RMN). I pazienti devono presentare inadeguato controllo dei sintomi (diarrea e/o vampate) trattati con la massima dose approvata di un analogo della somatostatina attualmente disponibile per almeno 3 mesi prima dell'ingresso nello studio (vedi Tabella 4-1). Gruppo di pazienti con diarrea predominante (D): pazienti con media giornaliera di defecazioni &gt; 4 e un totale di &lt; 5 episodi di vampate in un periodo di 2 settimane (14 giorni) durante il trattamento con la massima dose approvata di un analogo della somatostatina attualmente disponibile per almeno 3 mesi prima dell`ingresso nello studio (vedi Tabella 4-1). Gruppo di pazienti con vampate predominante (F): pazienti con &gt; 14 episodi di vampate e una media giornaliera di defecazioni &lt; 4 in un periodo di 2 settimane (14 giorni) durante il trattamento con la massima dose approvata di un analogo della somatostatina attualmente disponibile per almeno 3 mesi prima dell'ingresso nello studio (vedi Tabella 4-1). I pazienti devono osservare i seguenti intervalli tra l'ultima iniezione del trattamento precedente e la prima iniezione del trattamento in studio: Octreotide LAR = 28 giorni; Octreotide sottocute = 8 ore; Lanreotide Autogel = 28 giorni; Lanreotide SR = 14 giorni. Pazienti con malattia misurabile o valutabile in base ai criteri RECIST (vedi Post-text supplement 1). Karnofsky Performance Status ¥ 60 (richiede assistenza occasionale, ma e` capace di far fronte alla maggior parte dei bisogni personali). ` I pazienti devono completare i seguenti periodi di washout prima della randomizzazione: ` octreotide LAR, lanreotide autogel o qualsiasi altro analogo della somatostatina a lunga durata d'azione: 8 settimane ` lanreotide SR: 4 settimane ` oppiacei orali: 5 giorni ` octreotide s.c., altro analogo della somatostatina a breve durata d'azione o qualsiasi altro antidiarroico: 48 ore Durante il periodo di washout per gli analoghi della somatostatina a lunga durata d'azione, octreotide s.c. o qualsiasi altro farmaco antidiarroico a breve durata d'azione deve essere somministrato dopo la raccolta dei sintomi basali. Tuttavia, i sintomi non devono essere raccolti durante le ultime 48 ore di washout prima della randomizzazione. ` I pazienti con anamnesi positiva per alterazione della glicemia a digiuno o diabete mellito possono essere inclusi, tuttavia la glicemia e il trattamento con antidiabetici devono essere monitorati strettamente per l'intera durata dello studio e se necessario corretti (vedi Sezione 6.6.2.1). ` Le donne potenzialmente fertili devono avere un test di gravidanza negativo al basale. ` Consenso informato scritto.

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Compare the long term efficacy of pasireotide LAR vs. octreotide LAR at month 6 in controlling diarrhea and/or flushing in patients with metastatic carcinoid tumors whose disease-related symptoms are inadequately controlled by the maximum approved dose of a somatostatin analogue.
    Confrontare l'efficacia a lungo termine dopo 6 mesi di trattamento con pasireotide LAR verso octreotide LAR nel controllare diarrea e/o vampate in pazienti con tumori carcinoidi metastatici nei quali i sintomi correlati alla malattia non sono adeguatamente controllati dalla somministrazione della dose massima approvata di analoghi della somatostatina.
