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   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   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. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    This study will evaluate the antitumor activity of RAD001 versus placebo in patients
    with subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGA) associated with Tuberous
    Sclerosis Complex (TSC).
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To compare SEGA response rate on RAD001 versus placebo in patients with TSC-associated SEGA.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To compare RAD001 versus placebo with respect to:
    1. Change from baseline in frequency of epileptiform events.
    2. Time to SEGA progression.
    3. Skin lesion response rate.
    4. Change from baseline in plasma angiogenic molecules, e.g. VEGF, basic FGF,
    PLGF, soluble VEGF receptor1, and soluble VEGF receptor2.
    5. Renal function assessed using calculated creatinine clearance.
    6. Safety as assessed by the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria, version 3.0.

    In RAD001 treatment arm to :
    7. Characterize the pharmacokinetics of RAD001 in this patient population,
    specifically in terms of exposure.
    8. Describe the duration of SEGA response, the time to SEGA response and the
    duration of skin lesion response.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Male or female of any age.
    2. Clinically definite diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis according to the modified
    Gomez criteria (Roach et al, 1998; Hyman and Whittemore, 2000, Table 5-1).
    Clinically definite diagnosis is defined as either of the following:
    a. Two Major Features from Table 5-1.
    b. One Major Feature plus two Minor Features from Table 5-1.
    3. Presence of at least one SEGA lesion ≥ 1.0 cm in its longest diameter using
    MRI.
    Note: SEGA lesions are only diagnosed in patients with TSC. They arise in the
    subependymal layer of the lateral ventricle and are usually located near the
    foramen of Monro and enhance homogeneously with contrast on MRI with no
    evidence of surrounding edema.
    4. A recent MRI of the brain completed within 4 weeks (28 days) prior to the
    patient’s randomization must be compared with an MRI of the brain performed at
    an earlier stage of patient care (pre-baseline) and should demonstrate at least one of the following:
    a. Serial growth, defined as at least a 25% increase in SEGA volume, or
    b. Presence of a new SEGA lesion ≥ 1 cm in its longest diameter, or
    c. New or worsening hydrocephalus defined by assessment of ventricular
    configuration changes, ventricular cap signs (periventricular edema) and
    qualitative assessment of CSF flow dynamics.
    Notes: Patients who have had previous SEGA surgery are eligible provided criterian 4 has been satisfied by comparing the baseline scan to any prebaseline scan that has been conductedfollowing the most recent SEGA surgery.
    If a previous MRI is not available, a comparative review of two previous CT scans is
    also acceptable to establish any of the above mentioned three conditions. In this
    case, a baseline/screening MRI should still be performed.
    If only one prior CT scan was available, a second CT scan should be obtained to
    allow like to like comparison of cranial images. Again, the baseline MRI should still
    be performed. CT scans must be digitized and sent to the central reviewer for
    confirmation of eligibility.
    If the pre-baseline MRI or CT scan was only available on film (non-digital format) or
    software for volumetric assessment was not available at the local site, the local
    radiologist should make a qualitative assessment of the above-mentioned three
    criteria. The non-digital MRI or CT scan must also be sent to Central Radiology for
    review.
    5. If female and of child bearing potential, documentation of negative pregnancy
    test prior to enrollment. Sexually active pre-menopausal female patients (and
    female partners of male patients) must use adequate contraceptive measures
    while on study and for up to 8 weeks after ending study.
    6. Written informed consent according to local guidelines.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Patients for whom SEGA related surgery is likely to be required, in the opinion of
    the investigator.
    2. History of myocardial infarction, angina or stroke related to atherosclerosis
    3. Known impaired lung function (e.g. FEV1 of DLCO ≤ 70% of predicted)
    4. Significant hematological or hepatic abnormality (i.e. transaminase levels > 2.5 x
    ULN or serum bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN, hemoglobin < 9 g/dL, platelets < 80,000/
    mm3, absolute neutrophil count < 1,000/mm3).
    5. Pregnancy or breast feeding.
    6. Intercurrent infection at date of randomization.
    7. Prior history of organ transplant.
    8. Recent surgery (involving entry into a body cavity or requiring sutures) within the
    2 months prior to randomization.
    9. Prior therapy with mTOR inhibitors (e.g.sirolimus, temsirolimus, everolimus).
    10. Use of an investigational drug within the 30 days prior to randomization.
    11. Uncontrolled hyperlipidemia: Fasting serum cholesterol > 300 mg/dL OR > 7.75
    mmol/L AND Fasting triglycerides > 2.5 x ULN.
    12. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus as defined by fasting serum glucose > 1.5 x ULN.
    13. Patients with bleeding diathesis or on oral anti-vitamin K medication (except low
    dose warfarin).
    14. Patients with known history of HIV seropositivity.
    15. Inability to attend scheduled clinic visits.
    16. For the purpose of MRI assessments:
    a. Ferromagnetic metal implants (e.g., braces, some types of aneurysm clips,
    shrapnel) unless approved as safe for use in MR scanner
    b. Patients suffering from uncontrollable claustrophobia or physically unable to fit
    into the machine (e.g., obesity, etc).
    17. Serum creatinine > 1.5 x ULN.
    18. History of malignancy in the past two years, other than squamous or basal cell
    skin cancer.
    19. Any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions which could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol, such as:
    a. ≥ Grade 3 hypercholesterolemia/hypertriglyceridemia or ≥ Grade 2 hypercholesterolemia/hypertriglyceridemia with history of coronary artery disease (despite lipid-lowering treatment if given)
    b. Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of study drug (e.g. ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome).
    c. Active skin, mucosa, ocular or GI disorders of Grade > 1
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    SEGA response rate is determined from the Independent
    Central Radiological Review of MRIs. SEGA response rate is defined as the
    proportion of patients with a reduction in SEGA volume of at least 50% relative to
    baseline, where SEGA volume is the sum of the volumes of all target SEGA lesions
    identified at baseline, and confirmed with a second scan approximately 12 weeks later (and no sooner than 8 weeks later).
    In addition, response requires that:
    • the non-target SEGA lesions have not unequivocally worsened
    • no new SEGA lesions (of ≥1cm in longest diameter) are identified
    • and the absence of new or worsening hydrocephalus, defined by central radiological
    assessment of ventricular configuration changes, ventricular cap signs
    (periventricular edema) and quantitative assessment of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics.
    SEGA response rate will be determined in the Full Analysis Set (FAS), defined as all
    randomized patients analyzed according to the treatment they were assigned to at
    randomization.
