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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare the overall survival (OS) rates between short-course radiation therapy alone and shortcourse radiation therapy given together with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide, in elderly (>65 years of age) patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM, WHO grade IV) , who have had prior surgery/biopsy at diagnosis and who are not deemed suitable by their treating physician to receive the standard radiotherapy regimen (60Gy/30 fractions over 6 weeks) in combination with temozolomide.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The responsible investigator will ensure that this study is conducted in agreement with either the Declaration of Helsinki (available on the World Medical Association web site (http://www.wma.net)) and/or the laws and regulations of the country, whichever provides the greatest protection of the patient. The protocol has been written, and the study will be conducted according to the ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guideline on Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP, available online at http://www.ich.org/LOB/media/MEDIA482.pdf). The protocol must be approved by the competent ethics committee(s) as required by the applicable national legislation.
    Background therapy
    Radiation Therapy (40 Gy/15 fractions over 3 weeks)
    Evidence for comparator
    Phase II studies had demonstrated median survivals of 6 months with temozolomide only in patients older than age 70. Dr. Chinot reported on 32 patients older than age 70 (median age 75) who were treated with temozolomide only in the 5 day per 28 day regimen and median survival was 6.4 months. Dr Glantz reported on 32 patients older than age 70 that were offered temozolomide only or radiotherapy only in a series of 86 patients. The median survival for the temozolomide only group was 6 months as compared to the radiotherapy group median survival of 4.1 months in a non-randomized study. In addition, a prospective sequential series of patients with GBM and age ≥ 65 treated with radiotherapy (RT) only, RT plus PCV, and RT with temozolomide (adjuvant only) demonstrated increasing median survivals of 11.2, 12.7, and 14.9 months respectively. . Phase III study of concurrent temodal and radiation therapy followed by 6 months of adjuvant temozolomide have shown a survival advantage over radiotherapy alone in patients age 18-70, with evidence of improved survival in the 60-70 age cohort in the combined modality group. Therefore, in view of the seeming similarity of results of temozolomide alone, RT alone, and the recent phase III study which shows an advantage of combined temozolomide with RT, there is a need to study this populations in a phase III randomized study comparing all three approaches in patients older than age 70.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    21 Oct 2009
    -Deletion in the EudraCT application form of the central facility in the Netherlands (section G4); the samples are sent by the sites directly to the central pathology review facility without any intermediate storage.
    30 Jun 2010
    • Change in the drug supply chain of Shering-Plough: The Temodal will continue to be manufactured at Orion, in Finland. The bulk Temodal will the be shipped from Orion to WAG, in Switzerland, for secondary packaging and labeling. The GMP/QA releases for the packaged supplies will be performed by WAG. The drug will be shipped from WAG to Almac UK where the QP release will be performed. Once the QP release completed, the product will be shipped to the country sites directly. • The protocol and Group Specific Appendix have been amended, please note those changes are considered as non-substantial (changes are detailed in the document “GSA-26062-22061-amend 2 annex 1” and “GSA-26062-22061-amend 2”): • The first change is a number of clarifications to the protocol in regards to dose modifications for radiotherapy and the transition from concurrent to adjuvant temozolomide, as well as clarifications for supporting documentation required for radiotherapy. • The second change to the protocol involves a clarification to the eligibility criteria regarding the timing between initial surgery and the start of study therapy. • A third change to the protocol involves follow-up for patients on the temozolomide and radiotherapy arm of the trial (Arm 2 patients).

    1. Changes in the IMP labels: Due to the switch of activities from Schering-Piough to Merck (MSD) and therefore changes in the standard operational procedures for IMP label design, the wording and layout of the IMP labels have changed. 2. Correction on drug supply chain: WAG has been initially declared in our covering letter but does not reflect in the Annex I. Therefore the relevant part of the Annex I has been updated accordingly.
    12 Aug 2013
    Merck (MSD) is not able to provide a new stock of TEMOZOLOMIDE within the timelines. The batch being used for the moment on the participating site expires on 30/09/2013 and very soon some sites will be out of stock. As a consequence, we are momentarily obliged to ask participating sites to use commercial drug. The commercial drug will be reimbursed by the EORTC which will then invoice Merck. No patient will be charged for the drug costs.

    Protocol and Group Specific Appendix (GSA) Previous GSA version: 2.0 dated 10AUG2009 New GSA version: 2.1 dated 21MAY2010 Previous Protocol version: 1.0 dated 16APR2007 New Protocol version: 2.0 dated 22FEB2010 Rationale: The first change is a number of clarifications to the protocol in regards to dose modifications for radiotherapy and the transition from concurrent to adjuvant temozolomide, as well as clarifications for supporting documentation required for radiotherapy. The second change to the protocol involves a clarification to the eligibility criteria regarding the timing between initial surgery and the start of study therapy. A third change to the protocol involves follow-up for patients on the temozolomide and radiotherapy arm of the trial (Arm 2 patients). These changes are described on “GSA-26062-22061-amend 2 & GSA-26062-22061-AMEND 2 annex 1” document which will allow you to clearly identify the changes. The following documents have been impacted by this amendment and have been updated: -The Clinical Trial Protocol -The Group Specific Appendix Please note that this amendment doesn’t affect the safety, physical or mental integrity of the patients, or on the scientific value of the trial.
    17 Feb 2014
    Notification of temozolomide new safety information Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD), the marketing authorization holder for temozolomide, informed healthcare providers of the following new safety information: • Cases of hepatic injury, including fatal hepatic failure, have been reported in patients receiving temozolomide. • Liver toxicity may occur several weeks or more after initiation of treatment or after temozolomide discontinuation. • Liver function tests should be performed:  prior to treatment initiation. If abnormal, the decision to initiate temozolomide treatment should carefully consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient;  after each treatment cycle. • For patients on a 42 day treatment cycle, liver function tests should be repeated midway during this cycle; • For patients with significant liver function abnormalities the benefits and risks of continuing treatment should be carefully considered. Recruitment for this trial has been completed. As a result there are no implications for the management of patients on treatment and thus a protocol amendment is not required. However, patients who are continuing on follow-up will be informed orally of this updated information by their Principal Investigator.
