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 ).

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this Phase III study is to demonstrate the clinical efficacy (in terms of disease-free survival) of recMAGE-A3 + AS15 versus placebo in NSCLC after complete surgical resection.
    Three co-primary objectives are considered:
    •Objective A: Efficacy in the overall population;
    •Objective B: Efficacy in the population of patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (no-CT population).
    •Objective C: Efficacy in the population of patients presenting the potentially favourable gene signature.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    •To evaluate and compare recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI versus placebo with respect to efficacy in patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy and in patients who do not present the potentially favourable gene signature.
    •To evaluate and compare recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI versus placebo with respect to safety and other clinical and biological indicators of efficacy in the overall population, in patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy, in patients who did not receive this chemotherapy, in patients presenting the potentially favourable gene expression signature and in patients who do not present this signature.
    •To validate the predictive value of the gene signature by evaluating the association between treatment outcome (DFS) and gene signature status.
    •To evaluate and compare the changes in health-related quality of life (utility) in patients treated with recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI compared to those treated with placebo using the EuroQol-5D questionnaire (EQ-5D).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy endpoint will be disease-free survival (DFS).
    DFS is defined as the interval from the date of randomization to the date of the first objective evidence of recurrence or to the date of death, if before recurrence.
    All types of recurrence will be included. These include local, regional and distant metastasis and second primary lung tumors, as follows:
    •Local recurrence, defined as a tumour within the same lung or at the bronchial stump,
    •Regional recurrence, involving a clinically or radiologically manifest disease in the mediastinum or in supraclavicular nodes, and
    •Distant recurrence, i.e., any tumour arising in the contralateral lung or outside the hemithorax.
    In addition, all deaths occurring without prior documentation of tumor recurrence will be considered as an event (and will not be censored in the statistical analysis) as this approach is less prone to introducing bias. If no event (recurrence or death) occurs by the time of the analysis, then the time to event will be censored at the date of the last assessment of the patient in question.
    Any new primary cancer will not be considered as recurrence and should be reported as SAE.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    At predefined timepoints
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    •Overall survival, defined as interval from randomization to the date of death, irrespective of the cause of death.
    •Lung cancer specific survival, defined as interval from randomization to the date of death due to lung cancer.
    •Disease-free survival at 2, 3, 4 and 5 years.
    •Disease-free specific survival (only lung cancer related events will be taken into account)
