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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the relative efficacy of EN3285 compared with placebo in the delay to onset of severe (NCI grade >2) OM. The coprimary objective of this study is to evaluate the relative efficacy of EN3285 compared with placebo in prevention of severe (NCI grade >2) OM at a cumulative dose of 50 Gy.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives of the study are to compare EN3285 with placebo with respect to:
    • Safety through the collection of AEs and laboratory data
    • Delaying the onset of severe OM (WHO grade >2)
    • Prevention of severe OM (WHO grade >2)
    • Percent of time (days) spent on opiates for oral pain during the course of RT
    • Reducing the need for interventional placement of feeding tubes for nutritional support due to OM
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Subjects will be included in the study if they:
    • Are 18 years and older with newly diagnosed clinically and histologically confirmed SCC of the oral cavity and/or oropharynx, and are intended for treatment with ChemoRT. (Subjects with unknown primary tumors are allowed depending on target RT as defined below as well as postoperative subjects.)
    • Have a clinical plan to receive a minimum of 60 Gy to the oral cavity and/or oropharynx using any of the following:
    – Standard fractionation to deliver 1.8 to 2.2 Gy per day in a single fraction
    – Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Helio IMRT are allowed
    • Will receive chemotherapy consisting of one of the following regimens:
    – Cisplatin 80 - 100 mg/m2 in 21-day cycles
    – Weekly cisplatin 30 mg/m2
    • Have a WBC ≥3500 per cubic millimeter
    • Have a platelet count ≥100,000 per cubic millimeter
    • Have adequate renal function as determined by the principal investigator prior to enrollment
    • Are willing and able to undergo oral assessments
    • Have a Karnofsky Performance Status score ≥70
    • Have the ability to understand the protocol and provide informed consent
    • If female and of childbearing potential, must have negative serum pregnancy test
    • If female, must be practicing abstinence or using a medically acceptable form of contraception (eg, intrauterine device, hormonal birth control, or double barrier method). For this study, all females are considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are post-menopausal (at least 1 year since last menses), biologically sterile, or surgically sterile (ie, hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation).
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Subjects will be excluded from participation in the study if they:
    • Have OM or other oral conditions that would preclude a complete and accurate assessment of OM during treatment at study entry
    • Are using a pre-existing feeding tube for nutritional support at study entry
    • Plan to use Amifostine, Pilocarpine, Cevimeline and Bethanechol
    • Plan to use any drug for the treatment or prevention of OM (including topical steroids and topical anti-inflammatory agents such as Benadryl) except for analgesics and other treatments identified as acceptable in the protocol (see Section 5.5)
    • Have had any prior radiotherapy to the head and neck
    • Have intent to treat with daily hyperfractionated RT regimens, brachytherapy or interstitial implantation, or any form of boost where the daily dose exceeds 2.2 Gy.
    • Have had prior chemotherapy within 6 months preceding enrollment
    • Plan to have concurrent chemotherapy, other than those regimens specified under inclusion criteria
    • Have received other investigational drugs in the 30 days preceding initiation of study drug or during administration of study drug
    • Have medical conditions that require the use of chronic steroid therapy
    • Have a recent, serious, nonmalignant medical condition that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, makes the subject unsuitable for study participation (eg, subjects who are immunocompromised)
    • In the opinion of the principal investigator, have a medical, sociological, or psychological impediment to probable compliance with protocol
    • Have the inability to undergo repeat treatments, clinical evaluations and other diagnostic procedures required by the protocol
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary endpoint will be radiation dose to onset of severe OM (NCI grade >2) over the cumulative dose range 0 to 50 Gy.

    The coprimary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects with severe OM (NCI grade >2) at a cumulative dose of 50 Gy.

    The study will enroll subjects who are scheduled to receive a minimum cumulative RT dose of 60 Gy during a treatment period of up to 8 weeks. Due to the high variability of the treatment regimens not only across centers, but between subjects, this study will look at group comparisons up to and at a cumulative RT dose of 50 Gy.
