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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicenter, phase II study of adding AMG 479, a fully human monoclonal antibody against insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF-1R) to first line chemotherapy in patients with optimally debulked ( < 1cm) epithelial ovarian cancer.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To estimate whether the addition of AMG 479 to paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy improves progression free survival (PFS) when compared to paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy alone.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The clinical trial was conducted in accordance with the recommendation of the Declaration of Helsinki (Helsinki 1964 as amended) and with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP). The study also complied with the laws and regulations, as well as any applicable guidelines of the countries where the study was conducted. A Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) was appointed for this trial.

    		 Progression Free Survival (PFS): Time from Randomization until date of Progression or Death
    End point description
    A patient may have been declared to have progressive disease on the basis of radiological measurement of tumor lesions assessment or CA125 evaluation (tumor measuremts taking precedence). Radiological progression was defined as per the RECIST guidelines (Therasse et al, JNCI2000) as at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions (ref the smallest sum of the longest diam recorded since the treatmt started or since the appearance of at least 1 new lesion). Serum CA125 progression was defined, according to the 2005 GCIG def: patients with: -elevated CA125 pretreatmt and normalization of CA125 has to show evidence of CA125 ≥ 2 X the upper normal limit on 2 occasions at least 1 wk apart OR -elevated CA125 pretreatmt which never normalized must show evidence of CA125 ≥ 2 X the nadir value on 2 occasions at least 1 wk apart OR -CA125 in the normal range pretreatment had to show evidence of CA125 ≥ 2 X the upper normal limit on 2 occasions at least 1 wk apart.

    Notes
    [1] - The study is designed to provide evidence to either support the null hypothesis H0: λ equals 1 or to reject it in favor of the alternative hypothesis HA: λ does not equal 1, where λ is the hazard ratio for PFS: experimental arm/control arm. However, the study is designed to primarily demonstrate activity and feasibility of AMG 479 in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin in ovarian cancer, rather than to provide statistical power to support a new standard regimen.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    The monitoring period for AEs started from signature of the ICF and continued up to 30 days after last dose.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    The participant flow module is based on the ITT population, so patients are counted according to their "randomization group". For "participants at risk", patients are grouped by their "actual treatment"; 4 patients were allocated with incorrect treatment and received AMG 479 instead of placebo. The total number of patients treated remains the same.
