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   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To compare the progression-free survival (as assessed by independent central disease assessment review) of taxane based chemotherapy plus lapatinib for 24 weeks followed by single agent lapatinib therapy to taxane based chemotherapy plus trastuzumab for 24 weeks followed by single agent trastuzumab therapy, in women with HER2/neu positive breast cancer (by local or central laboratory testing) which is metastatic, and with no prior chemotherapy and/or anti-HER2/neu targeted therapy in the metastatic setting.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate and compare the two treatment arms with respect to:
    • Overall survival
    • Time to CNS metastases at the time of first progression
    • Incidence rates of CNS metastases at the time of progression
    • Overall objective response rate (complete or partial response), time to response, and duration of response - only patients with at least one measurable lesion at baseline
    • Clinical benefit response rate, as determined by the total number of patients who achieve a complete or partial response (patients with at least one measurable lesion at baseline) plus those patients who have stable disease for at least 24 weeks (all patients - with or without measurable disease at baseline)
    • Adverse event profile
    • Quality of life as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 instrument and a Trial Specific Checklist
    • Clinical outcomes using biomarker changes in biological samples
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    Primary Metastasis Sub-study (Optional)
    To survey genomic aberrations and tumour expression profiles from primary tumour material in a direct comparison with metastatic tumour, to address whether genomic signatures of relapse can be identified and to assess whether signatures of therapeutic resistance/responsiveness can be identified in the primary or metastatic tumour.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    * Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the breast.

    * Metastatic breast cancer (stage IV) at primary diagnosis or at relapse after curative intent therapy.

    * Local or central laboratory confirmed HER2/ErbB2 overexpressing and/or amplified disease in the invasive component of the primary or metastatic lesion as defined by:
    • 3+ over expression by IHC (> 30% of invasive tumour cells);
    • 2+ or 3+ (in 30% or less neoplastic cells) overexpression by IHC AND fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test demonstrating HER2/ErbB2 gene amplification;
    • HER2/ErbB2 gene amplification by FISH (> 6 HER2 gene copies per nucleus, or a FISH ratio (HER2 gene copies to chromosome 17 signals) of >= 2.2)

    * Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tumour specimen from the invasive component of the primary or metastatic lesion must be available for central HER2/ErbB2 testing to occur either prior to (or after randomization. In addition, the specimens will be used for central laboratory testing of the mandatory tumour phenotype markers ER, PgR, EGFR, CK5/6 and Ki67, once study accrual is completed.

    * Patients must have evidence of metastatic disease, but measurable disease is not mandatory. To be considered evaluable for the overall response rate (complete and partial response), patients must have at least one measurable lesion as follows:
    • X-ray, physical exam >= 20 mm
    • Conventional CT scan, MRI >= 20 mm
    • Spiral CT scan >= 10 mm

    * Prior treatment with chemotherapeutic agents including taxanes in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting is permitted provided that at least 12 months has elapsed since the last dose of therapy and all treatment related adverse events are =< grade 1 at the time of randomization.

    * Prior treatment with anti HER2/ErbB2 targeted therapy in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting is permitted provided that at least 12 months has elapsed since last dose of anti HER2/neu targeted therapy and all treatment related adverse events are =< grade 1 at the time of randomization.

    * Prior treatment with endocrine therapy in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant or metastatic setting is permitted provided that therapy has been discontinued and all treatment related adverse events are =< grade 1 at the time of randomization.

    * Prior treatments with radiation therapy in the adjuvant and/or metastatic setting are permitted provided that at least 2 weeks have elapsed since the last fraction of radiation therapy and all treatment related adverse events are =< grade 1 at the time of randomization.

    * Prior radiation to a solitary metastatic lesion is permitted provided that progression post radiation has been documented.

    * Patients must be >= 18 years of age.

    * Patients must have life expectancy > 6 months.

    * ECOG performance status 0, 1 or 2.

    * Patients must have normal organ and marrow function measured within 14 days prior to randomization as defined below:

    * Left ventricular ejection fraction >= 50% as demonstrated by MUGA scan/echocardiogram within 4 weeks prior to randomization.

    * Imaging investigations must be done within 4 weeks prior to randomization, including:
    • chest x-ray or CT chest (MRI is also acceptable)
    • CT abdomen (MRI is also acceptable)
    • bone scan / PET (if this is the institution's standard procedure for assessing bone metastases), with plain radiographs to confirm disease, as necessary
    • other scans as necessary to document all sites of disease

    * CT/MRI of the brain within 4 weeks prior to randomization

    * Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 7 days prior to randomization and must use an acceptable method of contraception for the duration of the study.

    * Patient is able (i.e. sufficiently fluent) and willing to complete the quality of life (QLQ-C30 and Trial Specific Checklist questionnaires in English, French or any other languages for which the questionnaires are available. Inability (illiteracy in English, French or other validated languages, loss of sight, or other equivalent reason) to complete the questionnaires will not make the patient ineligible for the study. However, ability but unwillingness to complete the questionnaires will make the patient ineligible.

    * Patient consent must be obtained according to local Institutional and/or University Human Experimentation Committee requirements. The patient must sign the consent form prior to randomization.

    * Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow-up. Investigators must assure themselves the patients randomized on this trial will be available for complete documentation of the treatment, adverse events, and follow-up.

    * In accordance with NCIC CTG policy, protocol treatment is to begin within 5 working days of patient randomization.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
