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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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.1.2Term Osteosarcoma metastatic
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess the antitumor activity of pemetrexed therapy, as measured by tumor response rate according to RECIST, in patients with advanced/metastatic osteosarcomas.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    * To assess the following efficacy variables:
    - duration of response for responding patients
    - progression-free survival
    - time to treatment failure
    - overall survival time
    * To examine the toxicity (NCI-CTC, version 3.0) and safety profile of study treatment
    * Correlation of disease outcome with pharmacogenomic analysis; MTAP gene deletion, FRĪ± and FPGS expression will be correlated with the clinical data to determine the association between these factors and clinical outcome to treatment.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    [1] Histological diagnosis of high grade locally advanced or metastatic osteosarcoma (WHO classification), not amenable to surgery, radiation, or combined modality therapy with curative intent.
    [2] One prior chemotherapy regimen for advanced disease; neo-adjuvant is not counted towards this requirement. Pemetrexed is considered as second line chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic disease.
    [3] At least one unidimensionally measurable lesion meeting RECIST criteria (at least 10 mm in longest diameter by spiral computerized tomography [CT] scan, or at least 20 mm by standard techniques). Positron emission tomography [PET] scans and ultrasounds may not be used.
    At least one measurable lesion outside of the field of any prior radiation therapy (according to RECIST criteria). Prior radiotherapy to a single index lesion is not allowed.
    Osseous lesions with soft tissue tumor at study entry (excluding completely calcified or necrosed lesion) are considered measurable lesions.
    [4] Have a performance status of 0, 1, or 2 on the ECOG scale
    [5] Adequate organ function including the following:
    Adequate bone marrow reserve: absolute neutrophil (segmented and bands) count (ANC) ≥1.0 x 10e9/L, platelets ≥100 x 10e9/L (in case of bone marrow disease: ≥75 x 10e9/L), and hemoglobin ≥9.0g/dL.
    Hepatic: bilirubin < or = 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (x ULN), alkaline phosphatase (AP), aspartate transaminase (AST), and alanine transaminase (ALT) < or = 3.0 x ULN (AP, AST, and ALT < or = 5 x ULN is acceptable if the liver has tumor involvement).
    Renal: calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥45 mL/min based on the standard Cockcroft and Gault formula.
    [6] Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
    [7] Patient compliance and geographic proximity that allow adequate follow-up.
    [8] Prior radiation therapy allowed to <25% of the bone marrow. Prior radiotherapy must be completed at least 4 weeks before study enrollment. Patients must have recovered from the acute toxic effects of the treatment prior to study enrollment.
    [9] Patients must sign an informed consent document.
    [10] Patients must be at least 18 years of age.
    [11] Fully recovered from any previous surgery and prior chemotherapy (at least 4 weeks since major surgery or prior myelosuppressive chemotherapy). With the exception of alopecia, patients must have resolution of all acute toxic effects of any prior surgery or chemotherapy to NCI-CTC (Version 3.0) grade ≤ 1.
    [12] For women: Must be surgically sterile, post-menopausal, or compliant with a medically approved contraceptive regimen (for example, intrauterine device [IUD], birth control pills, or barrier device) during and for 6 months after the treatment period; must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days before study enrollment and must not be breast-feeding.
    For men: Must be surgically sterile, or compliant with a contraceptive regimen during and for 6 months after the treatment period.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    [13] Have received treatment within the last 30 days with a drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication at the time of study entry.
    [14] Have previously completed or withdrawn from this study or any other study investigating pemetrexed.
    [15] Inability to comply with protocol or study procedures.
    [16] Have a serious concomitant systemic disorder (e.g. active infection including HIV) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the patient’s safety or the patient’s ability to adhere to the protocol.
    [17] Have a serious cardiac condition, such as myocardial infarction within 6 months, angina, or heart disease, as defined by the New York Heart Association Class III or IV.
    [18] Have a concurrent serious infection.
    [19] Have a psychiatric disorder that prevents patients from providing informed consent or following protocol instructions. No other severe medical illness, including psychosis and previous history of severe cardiovascular disease.
    [20] Have a prior malignancy other than osteosarcoma, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or nonmelanoma skin cancer, unless that prior malignancy was diagnosed and definitively treated at least 5 years previously with no subsequent evidence of recurrence. Patients with a history of low grade (Gleason score < or = 6) localized prostate cancer will be eligible even if diagnosed less than 5 years previously.
    [21] Have central nervous system (CNS) metastases (unless the patient has completed successful local therapy for CNS metastases and has been off corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks before starting study therapy). A screening computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before enrollment in the absence of a clinical suspicion of brain metastases is not required.
    [22] Presence of clinically detectable (by physical exam) third-space fluid collections, for example, ascites or pleural effusions that can not be controlled by drainage or other procedures prior to study entry.
    [23] Significant weight loss (that is ≥20%) over the previous 6 weeks before study entry.
    [24] Concurrent administration of any other antitumor therapy.
    [25] Inability to discontinue administration of aspirin at a dose >1.3 g/day or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents for 2 days before, the day of, and 2 days after the dose of pemetrexed (5 days prior for long-acting agents such as piroxicam).
    [26] Inability or unwillingness to take folic acid or vitamin B12 supplementation.
    [27] Inability to take corticosteroids.
    [28] Pregnant or breast-feeding.
    [29] Have had a recent (within 30 days of study treatment) or concurrent yellow fever vaccination.
